Q: What should I be doing?


Quote from Art history essay on this collection - I like it: "For me Massoumi's work pleasantly portrays listless women of Ghajar era, who seem not to have anything to do, I like the art form, but I kept having this feeling that as a hard working modern Iranian woman I should not much approve of the message."


Answer:


  • Clearing birth-space

  • Ironing

  • Cleaning mould off shower ceiling (courtesy of husband who won't put on the heater or leave door open while showering - or clean the ceiling...)

  • Listening to hypnobirth cd and practicing relaxation

  • Pilates

  • Perinneal massage

  • Appealing birth grant refusal

  • Sitting on gym ball, getting baby's head down

  • Preparing soup and cake to freeze for after the birth

What am I doing?



  • Squeezing spots

  • Fecking about online

  • Writing stupid lists

  • Listlessly watching nothing on tv

  • Listening to the sound of my headache which won't go away and obsessing about it a bit

  • Worrying vaguely about it all

  • Doing my nails, badly

  • Eating stuff

At the end of the day, I'd be best off just going to sleep!

NB If you search for 'listless' on Google images, you get some bizarre responses.

relax, it's all gonna come together, you are trying to be perfect, it's impossible to get everything done, your rest is the only thing that should be on your list
