Eleven Things You Didn't Know About Me

Wynn Anne of Wynn Anne's Meanderings challenged me to write eleven facts about myself.

1. I love stationery and have enough notebooks to last me until about 2017.
2. I am a nervous traveller and die a thousand deaths before I've even left home.
3. I'm done with flying -- not because I'm scared. It's just such a banal experience. It should be marvellous and glamorous and magical like it was in the old days, and it's just not. I hate the humiliating security checks; and being crammed into a too-small seat; and the horrible food; and the way the movie gets stopped suddenly before it's finished; and the way duty free pretends to be something more than shopping to alleviate boredom.
4. My husband and children have died a thousand times apiece in my terrified imagination. When I wake in the night the first thing I do is check that everyone within reach is still breathing.
5. Writing is better than prescription drugs.
6. I have a terribly sweet tooth.
7. I used to enjoy crafts like embroidery and paper cutting but now I don't.
8. I miss my old single life from time to time -- particularly when other people talk about having hangovers.
9. I am too impatient to watch videos or listen to audio -- just write it down and let me read it.
10. Today is my 1010th day of breastfeeding.
11. I can't always tell left from right.

I also have to nominate three other blogs -- but I don't really read any at the moment because it's early baby days; I skim Godfather Timothy's Heropress for reports from my gaming crew and I dip into Miriam's Daily Adventures.
