Since I have gotten home, I'm afraid I have developed into something of an insomniac. It's rather unfortunate, since the very things I use to coax myself to sleep have been keeping me up: namely, books and hot chocolate. As it happens, our cocoa has caffeine in it, which is one of life's lesser tragedies, and has been making it more difficult to sleep rather than less. Regarding the former, I just have a lot of trouble putting one down when I am in the middle of something exciting or interesting, and that seems like most of the time. I have finished a few already, and the library is ordering a few of the books I requested, which is very nice of them. It seemed strange to me that their collection was missing Tess of the D’Urbervilles anyway.
Otherwise, mum has been on something of a mad baking frenzy lately which has caused nothing but general unrest in the Lupin household. Mum is a decent baker, really, she is, but the sheer mass of baked goods in our home makes me suspicious that she may be planning some sort of tea party/covert operation involving trays and trays of low-sugar lemon bars. It's a matter of some concern.
How is everyone else fairing? Let me know.
Curiously Yours, Remus J. Lupin
