Silence is bliss - or at least doesn't echo in my head

Managed to get to sleep around 2am last night and then slept badly - is it a full moon at the moment? That, combined with my period (which just finished), is all that tends to do this to me. Spent most of the day with a headache, drinking coffee and countering with panadol. In the afternoon, after class and some V, I felt almost human. Came home, checked emails, dozed for a couple of hours. Have had dinner now and plan to go back to bed in about five minutes with a cup of peppermint tea and the Melting Stones audiobook by Tamora Pierce.

The accents aren't too bad on it. What really got me was Tamora being pronounced as 'Tamra' - it has an O in it, so it should rhyme with ramora, like the sucker fish on sharks, and herbs having a dropped H. The first is only said at the beginning, so I can cope with that, but the second! Every time I wonder what erbs are before realising.

Very glad Dirty Creature had a bye tonight. I don't think I would have been safe on the court.
