pre-emptive exhaustion

deird1Most of this week will be dedicated to preparing for my housemate's kitchen tea.
(For foreigners with different vocabulary: when getting married, women have a hen's night, or a kitchen tea. Some have both. A hen's night is generally wild, raucous, and very silly; a kitchen tea is also wild, raucous, and silly, but involves less alcohol, more cupcakes, and a different time of day.)
I have to:
- make caramel slice
- make brownies
- make butterfly cakes
- buy dip and things to eat it with
- plan three party games
- gather supplies for the party games
- run the party games
- clean Mum's house, pre-party
- clean Mum's house, post-party
- find something nice to wear
- be charming to a dozen party guests, most of whom I've never met before
And in the meantime, the rest of my life will continue to be busy as ever...
