After the gunshots

[selenay]

Yesterday was the work 'fun' afternoon and it turned out to be much more fun than I'd anticipated. Best part was that, despite spending the afternoon clay pigeon shooting, I neither dislocated my shoulder nor hurt my back (more than it already is). Score!

Plus I actually shot 8 'pigeons'. Heh.

The evening do of eating, drinking and more eating was also tremendous fun. For the first time ever, I actually enjoyed a work function.

Today, though, I'm incredibly tired. We're talking sleepy, dopey, shaky tired. I think that I overdid it yesterday. I went for a walk this morning to clear the cobwebs and ensure that I got some exercise, but I'm very glad that I didn't have any actual plans this weekend so I can recover from it all. I have a suspicion that this is what the doctors would call the 'fatigue' portion of HMS/HEDS. Woo.

So I'm reading history books, browsing Private Eye (very entertaining and though-provoking edition) and eyeing up the Wispa bar that I bought this morning. My first in years. Is it completely sad that I checked every newsagent and mini-market (er, all three) that I encountered on my walk to find that bar? Apparently the newsagent that I found it in had only just received their stocks. It's only been out for less than a week.

In other news, I need to edit fic yet I'm feeling dopey and can't concentrate. Woe. So I shall browse around and contemplate a nap before the rugby.

That's great that you could do the clay pigeon shooting without wrecking yourself any more. And well done for getting 8! Although that's 8 out of how many...? :)

Um...40. I haven't found a way to spin that as a sign of my uniquely brilliant talent. Yet. I'm working on it.

That's still a fifth! That sounds pretty good to me.

Now that's a good way to spin it! I was thinking about declaring it 20%, but that still doesn't sound impressive. As a fraction, it sounds way better.

Now why is that? 20 is actually a higher number than 5 (or even 8), yet a fifth sounds more impressive than 20%.

I am in the process of coming down with a cold, though, so I it could just be the delirium speaking right now...

I don't know, but I think a fifth sounds more than 20% too.
