Day 133: Trying Times

Threadbare was too tired for visitors today. So the Kuzmic's didn't go anywhere. I'm going to have to go and see Threadbare at some stage.

I cooked curried sausages and rice for dinner. 

I still have the chills and shakes. I also have a massive headache; I'm coughing and I'm tired as hell.

 I had to have Monsoon while Graceful was at dance. At least I had other people to keep Moonsoon occupied while I try and get some rest.

Day 132: The Good & The Bad

 

Graceful is at another eisteddfod. So, today, Miss Kelly came and picked up Hurricane for school. The Kuzmic's went to visit Ted and came home bawling at how bad he looks.

I had Monsoon while Hurricane and Graceful was at swimming lessons.

I'm not feeling well today. My head is pounding and I'm absolutely freezing. I just can't seem to warm up. I think I'll have a hot shower and crawl into bed early.

We just had snatch and grab for dinner and tea because I didn't want to have to stand at the stove cooking.

Day 131: Happy Birthday Jaxon

 


The big 8.
I hope you have an awesome day.

On another note, my sister and brother-in-law arrive today as my brother isn't doing well. I also have Hurricane and Monsoon sleeping over. where I got the skin tags frozen off are hurting.

Day 130: Happy Mother's Day

 

93 years young... the best mother in the world. I asked her what she wanted for lunch, and she wanted a baked dinner with all the trimmings; so that's what she is going to get.

She put up with all of us and now it's time we take care of this silly old broad. She's a deaf as a post (selective hearing... I say). her motto is if she can't understand you then she is just going to smile and nod.

We might even take a breather and watch some episodes of Haven, or Death in Paradise.

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.
