Heat strokes

I drove for 7 hours yesterday and narrowly missed two major motorway accidents. I always find that sobering.

I was going to pick up a friend's daughter, who has come for a holiday. She's just 16, as is my eldest.
Strange to see signs of self-harm on her arms and to find it so shocking, and yet to accept it as everyday on myself.
I haven't decided if/when/how I should talk to her about it yet.

Still hot here.

£850 gas and electric bill. I'm paranoid about every light we leave on now, every tiny bit of fuel we might be wasting.

I'm very teary. Just want to cry all the time. It's definitely not pmt this time. It's just stress, I think. And heat and tiredness and just not sure what's going on-ness.
