Day 129: 1st Load Moved

 

I looked after Hurricane and Graceful while Monsson had her swimming lesson. I also packed up my car with the first load to be taken over. I can see it now... my back is going to be killing me by the end of it all. I tripped over Hurricane who was trying to help and jarred my back.

I found a heap more empty plastic storage containers. I'll give them a good clean out and then I can start packing them as well. All of my kitchen stuff, I think.

Tonight, I am definitely going to be taking medication for my back. especially if I plan on doing anything tomorrow.

Day 128: Groceries

 

It's beyond ridiculous how much groceries have gone up in the last few weeks. I will be glad when we're all living under one roof. It might actually bring the grocery bill down some... or let us buy other things that we've been doing without. on average my grocery bill has doubled in cost over the last couple of months. Soon, no one is going to be able to afford the food we need to survive.

Even if you grow it yourself, they charge you for using the water. It's a lose-lose situation.

Day 127: Break

 

I needed a break. I feel like I've been run off my feet. So, I did something that will calm me right down. I wrote out some lists. It didn't even matter what was on them. it made me feel productive as will marking them off when I complete what's on each list. I work better if I work from a list.

Day 126: Busy Day

 

Today, I have to get my niece, (Aunty Yace); to pick Moonsoon up before school. then I have to drop Hurricane off at school, and then mum and I have doctor appointments. and that's all before 9am. Yace dropped Monsoon back off by 11:30 and We got Hurricane after school. I had them bathed and fed before their mum picked them up in the evening.

in between all of that I started wiping out the cupboards that I've already emptied. I'm trying to stay ahead of my moving schedule.

Day 125: Sleep Over Night

 

Today was a big day for Hurricane:

1. She got and award on parade

2. She has an ADHD specialist appointment in the arvo.

3. has to sleep at my house with Monsoon because Graceful has an early (rescheduled) eisteddfod in the morning.

They be easy to please for dinner as I know exactly what they will both ask for dinner... pasta (no sauce) with cheese, and a cup of orange cordial.

Day 124: Switch Up

 

Today I took a break from my place and went and did some work at the other house. I need to make some space so that when I start bringing over our stuff there is actually somewhere to put it.

We pulled apart a silky oak double bed that my daughter's ex-husband is taking for when he has the girls sleep over, they have a bed. Which is good because it's one less thing we have to find room for. and I won't ever have to walk into the ends of it and come away with massive bruises.

You guessed it. I came home with more washing. So, I got that done while I puttered around the house doing little things. As I wore myself out at the other house.

Day 123: Laundry Day

 

Today I spent most of the day either folding dry washing or washing and hanging out new loads of washing. Lately it seems like a never-ending cycle. just when I think I'm done I find a heap more that needs doing.

In between I'm packing up all the excess pantry to get that out of the way, and I'll do the same with my bedside tables as I'm giving them to my nephew; I have other ones to use.

I think I will cook a piece of silverside (corned beef) so that we have leftovers for sandwiches.
