ARGH I have to be up in 4.5 hours

It is 7pm. I am in my dressing gown. I have been all day.

I pad downstairs. Doctor-sister is VOLUNTARILY SITTING EXTRA EXAMS and is being tested by Mad-Father.

"Hen table?" he says, squinting at her handwriting.

She huffs and leans over the paper. "Splenomegaly," she says, like it's obvious.

I wander out of the living room and through to the kitchen. I am ruminating. And gazing. Just did an EU past paper and it went reasonably terribly.

I open the back door absent-mindedly and look out into the rain. Gingerly I dip my bare toe onto the cold step, thinking about the Dzodi principle and how to apply it.

Doctor-sister comes up behind me, wearing her Concerned Face.

"Now now," she says softly. "Come inside Billygean. You're in your dressing gown and it's raining. You're better off inside."

Her voice is oddly soothing.

"I'm not MAD," I say.

I look down and I am wearing one sock.
