My brain cells aren't all firing at the moment and it's only partly due to caffeine deprivation, so here's a bullet list of what's been going on...
- When we wanted to move the bulk of my furniture on Saturday, it was the hottest day of the year. Sunday was less so, but more humid
- My liking good, solid furniture is not an advantage when moving
- I had to lower my expectations as far as the decorating goes. The only room that is finished is Boy's. Adequate is the only term that covers it
- I'm glad I didn't decorate the hall now
- Even giving away a third of my books, my book shelves are still double stacked
- I daren't write my To Do List for the flat, there's so much to be done still
- The house isn't even empty yet, there are still odds and ends to come over. I've assigned that task to Boy
- OMG! I never realised I was such a slattern. I was full-on horrified when the sofas were take out and I saw the rubbish underneath them...and we won't even talk about the washing machine
- Dave is still talking to me. As is Boy. I am grateful
- I only had one total meltdown on Saturday and a part of a meltdown on Sunday
- I can't get my head around new curtains and neither can the menfolk. We wondered around arguing about them until the shop shut Sunday afternoon. I will be taking an executive decision
- Decorating is not my forte
- Neither is being The Brawn in moving day. My friends did the heavy lifting with good humour and bad language. I stood around being fairly useless to them. I did organise like a demon. And clean too
- In the future, I will only move under two circumstances: 1. I am carried out feet first or 2. Removal company. I will not be moving myself again unless I'm running away to join the French Foreign Legion, in which case, I'll just lock the door behind me
- The Cat is far less traumatised than I am. She's figured out the new kitty litter arrangement and is curled up on my desk purring as I type
- I have got an incredibly busy week ahead at work and I really wish I could have another week off. This incredibly busy week, will be followed by many, many more...for which my Bank Manager will be grateful as I've been getting dirty looks recently
- I really must get going now....
Happy Monday darlings! Hope it's good whatever you're doing, wherever you are. xx
