  • Even when you're not remotely ready to think about Christmas yet and yet it keeps getting closer every second.

    Even when the house is an absolute shambles and trying to rectify that is one step forward/one step sideways/three steps back/now put your hands on your hips and wait, what was I supposed to be tidying again?

    Even when the electricity keeps yo-yoing every few minutes as the country continues to be battered by a storm.

    Even when you spent most of the evening in the hospital with your injured child and then most of the night habitually getting up just to reassure yourself he's still breathing (he's fine, by the way!).

    Even then, there's still the comfort of a bacon sarnie for breakfast. ๐Ÿ˜‹
