Day 110: Pushing Through

 

Even though I still feel like crap I decided to do the washing. At least there was only three loads, and I could hang them all inside.

I decided to cook myself some homemade chicken noodle soup in the hopes that it will make me feel better. 

I took a bit of time to work on some handwritten notes. just so I have them and don't lose/forget about them.

Monsoon slept over last night. and boy was I glad when she went home today... I needed the freaking rest.

Day 109: Easter

Okay, I'm still not feeling the best but today I'm cooking mum a baked dinner for Easter lunch today. She will enjoy it. I'll make sure there is enough for her to have a second meal tomorrow.

Today I started making some lists for when we move house:

1. What I need help moving.

2. What I can move myself (which is about 75% of it).

3. What chores I need to get done for exiting this house.

4. What chores I need to get done before setting up in the new place (seeing as we will be moving in with my daughter and granddaughters).

5. what to keep &/or get rid of at each house.

Day 108: Still Not Well

 

Still feeling crook, but I have shit that needs doing. So today I dragged myself out of bed and got things done.

I didn't get any writing done, but I did putter around the house and tidy up with everything I had let slide after the last few days. I hate the house being messy.

I also had Hurricane while her mum took her friend to the hospital because she had a sore throat... I'm nearly dying, and I get to look after the kids while her friend needs the hospital. Doesn't matter that I was too tired to watch the kids. (Yes, I know I'm griping, I'm sick and I'm allowed). Don't get me wrong. I love my granddaughters... just not when I'm sick and worn out.

Day 107: Good Friday

 

Today is a day for eating fish. I might not follow a great many of the catholic teachings, but I do not eat read meat or any other meat except fish on Good Friday.

Though today I'm really sick, so I'll be spending the day in bed trying to recover some energy. I might work some more on my handwritten notes if I feel up to it.

Day 106: Sick & Busy

 

I'm still sneezing, coughing, and wheezing. And as much as I want to have a restful day, I have a mega ton of stuff I need to get done.

1. De-cobweb the whole house.

2. Downtown to pick up a few things for mum.

3. Looked after granddaughters while their mum helped one of her friends.

4. I also worked on writing up some notes on a new story idea.

I think I will try and have an early night tonight, and now I have said that... I'll probably end up with insomnia.

Day 105: Happy Birthday Caleb

Happy Birthday, Caleb! I don't remember how old you are because I stopped counting a long time ago. None the less I hope you have a freaking awesome day.

Today: I'm feeling a tad better, though I'm still wheezing and coughing. I'll have to get my daughter to get the kids easter baskets out of the top of the linen cupboard. At least we won't have to go out and buy new one. I'll have to get my daughter to go and pick me up some water today.

Hopefully, by the time the weekend gets here, I'll be much better. I had to ring up and book Mum into the dentist, with all the upcoming public holidays. She can't get in until April 28th.

Today my big job is to fold up the laundry, because I'm going to have to try and wash the bedding again soon. After being sick they start to smell dank and in need of refreshing.

 

Day 104: Butter wouldn't melt in his mouth

 

Looking at the sweetheart you would think he was an adorable angel. Well, I'm here to tell you right now that this little sh*thead had another case of the annoying zoomies last night. While the rest of us just wanted to sleep he ran laps of the house. Then once we're all awake, he decides to curl up in ball on the end of my bed sleep the day away.

I know I'm probably only complaining because I still feel like crap... But, for the love of Mike, he's seven years old. He should have grown out of this crap by now; shouldn't he have? (Is that even written right?)

On a good note, I didn't have to sleep sitting up for the whole night. I managed to spend half the night laying down like a normal person. Okay, well I'm out of here for today, because I need to go and take my medicine and painkillers. Because I did wake up sneezing up a storm again.
