3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION

My cobbled-together audiovisual hypnosis equipment was a total success! I wasted no time marketing my upgraded facilities. I will also need to give the website a tweak to promote it.

As I knew full well would happen, and not in a bad way, I'm not doing a lot with having the house to myself for 24 hours, just watching TV and computing, and enjoying it immensely! With chores to do, my simple enjoyment is somewhat shorter anyway - there's shopping, ironing, lawn mowing and hedge trimming to be done!

I see online that my war on chuggers didn't evoke any immediate viral tidalwave, just a bullshit response on Twitter from ActionAid. Never mind, at least they will soon know to leave ME alone.
