Day 55: Haircut Day

 

My daughter is getting her hair done professionally today... first time in years. Usually, she just trims it herself. I can hear it now; she is going to come home complaining they gave her a bob style haircut. She does it every single time.

I'm not feeling the best today. A tad queasy. Probably coming down with what mum had on Sunday. I can't really concentrate on anything enough to get anything meaningful done.

Being I'll probably has something to do with the heat. or the number of freaking mozzies we get inside of a nighttime. They drive me freaking bonkers. I had to have at least 60 in my room last night. They seem to be immune to the spray.

I'm so tired... damn cat kept waking me up all night. It was like it was just making sure I was there. As soon as I gave it a pat and spoke to him, he'd lay down and rest and then it would start all over again; and now today he's laying down beside me like he wasn't a pain in the arse all night long.

Until tomorrow, remember: Believing you can ~ is halfway to getting it done.

Day 54: Visitors...

 

My daughter caught up with a friend she hadn't seen in five years, and it was like no time had passed at all. the only difference is they both now have kids. That's what true friendship is supposed to be like. I cooked lunch for them and even prepare dinner for my grandbabies ~ only has to be reheated.

I weighed in today 104.1kg, down by .7kg which is good.

I've been reading through some of my story notes... seeing which ones go where. There is only one set that I am missing now that I really want. I'll have to keep looking for them. I know I wrote them out and it annoys the hell out of me that I can't find them.

Another freaking hot day here today. It messes with my head (headache/migraine) though I'm also super tired today. because I got woken up at 3am by Monsoon who decided she needed to watch something on TV and she needed to be in my room to do it. Wizard of Oz (the original) at 3am not my favourite thing in the world to have to be doing.

Cakey, dropped of Graceful's phone so we won't have drama with that tonight. Monsoon found her phone. Hurricane is the only one who never seems to lose her shit. both Monsoon and Hurricane are sunburnt. they look like a Christmas tree on crack.

Until tomorrow, remember: If at first you don't succeed ~ It's not failing if you pay someone else to do the job for you.

Day 52: Catch Up Day

 

Today I'm trying to catch up on all the chores that I have let slip over the last week. I also want to try and move the ride on mower into the garage to get it out of the rain... I might need help with that part. I might have to wait until tomorrow when I have people here to help me.

I have some washing to do after the three kiddos get home from swimming lessons. I also want to walk around the perimeter of the house and spray for wasps again. those suckers just keep popping up.

I also need to clean out (tidy) my drawers etc in my room. I haven't been the best at putting my clothes away properly of late and I've noticed there are clothes in the wrong drawers. even worse when the kids try and help me.

The weather doesn't know whether it wants to be hot or overcast. I wish it would bloody make up its mind already. I just hope the washing has a chance to dry. At least I can move them to an airer if I have to.

Until tomorrow, remember: No matter how hard your past is ~ you can always begin again.

Day 51: Weather Permitting

 

I'm going to try and get a bit of the yardwork done again today. I've had a long enough rest, and it needs to be done. Not per say in the bouse yard. but I have some whipper snipping that definitely needs doing.

I'm still tired and have a massive headache... but what else is new. same shit - different day. If I don't do the chores then they'll never get done. Luckily, I actually like the yard work. I just wish it was a tad bit cooler some days.

At least with the kids at school and my daughter at work, I will have a peaceful day to work at my own pace. the only one I have to worry about checking on is my mum. Which I do every 20 minutes when I have to recharge the batteries on said tools. Also, on days like this I make sure that I prepare our lunch early, so I only have to do the basic cook when I stop (we like our main meal at lunch time so that we're not going to bed on full heavy stomachs).

Until tomorrow, remember: No one ever injured their eyesight by looking on the bright side of things.

Day 50: Damn Tired

 

Freaking insomnia is going to be the death of me. Why can't my brain shut down for me to go to sleep? I go to bed tired; I wake up tired... I know I get it in bouts. It might last for a week or for a month or two... then it will go away and I'll get a reprieve for a couple of months, and then the bitch comes right back, and we're back at square one.

Hence the reason if Monsoon is awake, she'll come into my room to watch TV. since she has started kindy, she has a tendency to fall asleep in the arvo when she gets home.

On the silver lining side of things. due to my insomnia, I found the synopsis to all of the Mountain Made - Quaide's Crossing - Brothers McCrieve - & Rebel Rousers. I had been looking for them for months. Now I'll be able to transfer it all onto my computer. If I could just find the synopsis for Woden's Wolves MC, & Ravengers MC I'd be happier still.

Until tomorrow, remember: If you believe in yourself anything is possible.
