Day 158: Good News & Bad News

 

The good news: is that one of my neighbours took pity on me and finished mowing my driveway... I still have to whipper snip it, but it's cut a whole days work out for me, so thank you kind neighbour. 

The bad news: is that I still have to get back out and whipper snip the long gulley. Let's just hope I don't fall down it again today.

At some stage I also have to find time to do a quick run downtown and pick up some stuff. I hate going out when I have so much work to do. I guess I'll just have to wear my yard working clothes.

Day 157: Insomnia

 

Lately, with everything going on I have been suffering with insomnia. I hate waking up tired as hell. I hope it doesn't last for too long. but knowing me it'll last right up until I move or even get the new place all unpacked.

Today I have to take a load of stuff over to the house and then come back and get stuck into the whipper snipping again. Right now, it feels like it's never ending.

My cat Robson is being a pain in the arse. Oliver is a dream. I suppose they are freaking out because they know something is happening.

Day 156: Another Day - Another Load

 

Today I took over another load and then moved some stuff around in the new place. I swear to God it seems like it's never ending. I know I'm doing all these little bits now so that the actual move day will be short... I just wish it was already over and done with.

I also had Monsoon all day. she decided that she needed to be with Mar-Mar and not her mum. So that means I have her until mum got home from dance with the other two girls in the late afternoon... Let me just tell you a 3-year-old is no help when it comes to cleaning a house in preparation for moving. Seeing as I can't go outside with her here (I have an unfenced dam); we'll be doing inside chores.

Day 155: Doctor Day - Oh What Fun!

Today I have my six-month check-up... which means fasting blood tests. and mum has to get her gut needle (I think it's Prolia). I also have to get a couple of scripts. Sadly, I also think I have another ear infection. Plus, I need to ask whether or not I need to have him work out a Ventolin work-up for the school for Graceful.

When I get home, I have more yard work to contend with. I can tell you that I am well and truly over the yard work. I hate having such a big damn yard.

My upper arms and armpits are starting to get sore. I'm assuming it's from the constant use of the whipper snipper. I'm trying to get as much done before I end up with Monsoon this afternoon.

I fell down while doing the long gulley and now my back is killing me. I think I need different gumboots - ones with better tread.

 

Day 154: Toowoomba

 

Today I'm having the morning off from yard work. I have to go to Toowoomba and buy Hurricane's birthday presents - she wants Spiderman & Dinosaurs. Actually, she mainly asked for undies. So, I will get her some of those too.

When I get home, I'll have to get stuck back into the never-ending yard work. I'll take a break from the whipper snipping and do some mowing instead. I'm going to be absolutely knackered by the end of the day. At least I should fall asleep fast.

Reading Patricia Briggs at night to unwind.

Day 153: Granddaughters Visiting

 

I had all three granddaughters while their mum was at work. It's so hard to get anything done while they are here. The two eldest ones were sick and had to stay home from, school for the day. I had to wait for them to go home before I could get stuck back into the damn yard... I am so over the yard... But it has to be done.

I must admit they were pretty well behaved. I have no complaints. A little whiney but I put that down to them all being sick. They mainly just spent the morning watching Netflix and laying in my bed.

On a different note: I'm trying a new recipe today> Japanese beef curry. I hope it tastes okay.

Day 152: Over It

 

Today I'm ready to punch the walls and kick the hell out of the whipper snipper. I'm tired as hell and I have so much still to do. You don't realize just how much work there is until you find your doing it all on your own.

Okay, I'm just bitching because I'm tired. I think as a pick me up I'll make mum and me home made hamburgers and hashbrowns for lunch today. Just a little pick me up.

Today I started on the driveway--which is why I'm complaining. as it's all up hill. I will probably get half of one side done, but that's okay. I will get it all done eventually.
