The painting rages on...
As if the banging of ladders and paint sprayers wasn't stressful enough, now every window in the house is covered in non-see-through plastic! Cue the claustrophobia. But it's looking good, so I'm happy thus far and I'm taking breaks away from the house to decompress.
I cleaned some more stuff out today (kitchen desk drawers and the open cubbies above it) and got a week's reprieve for photography and listing as the painting will stretch into next week.
I think you all have gotten the clue that my home is my safe bolt hole and strangers in it make me antsy. But I also understand the need for human dignity so when the painters asked if they could use one of my bathrooms, what was I going to say other than okay? (for future reference I know to ask long term workers to order a porta-potty and bill me) So they come in and out throughout the garage people door rather than having to ask me. But one guy has missed his calling as a cat burglar, because even though I can see the bathroom door from my family room, I never know he's inside until I hear the flush. I don't hear any doors open or close, I don't hear light switches, I don't hear him using it, nothing. Scares the bejeezus out of me! And as a camel of a person who rarely has to go, I am bewildered by the frequency of their needs. Ugh. I am basically an intolerant, judgey curmudgeon hidden by a thin veneer of a nice, easy going person.
Anyway, wishing you all well!
Better late than never ........ Flying past at 2pm Friday afternoon. I honestly dont know what happened to the day and I havent achieved anywhere near enough but .......
I had my Flu Shot Wednesday after work - my director had his at the same time. He is a little tired but boy did I get tumbled ! Could be coincidence but I was achy, headachy and just yuk by Wednesday evening. I didnt come into work yesterday.... My first day off in the year I had been with the company. I had to drag myself in today as I had a tender to submit. I could cheerfully curl up under my desk but there is way too much to do... My boss did my performance review and gave me a very generous raise and I have a bonus coming at the end of financial year. I have always prided myself in putting in 110% and this job is no different. I love my job - no 2 days are the same and it keeps me on my toes. It so nice to be recognised for that.
I am supposed to drive to the farm tonight but Im not sure if I will - its nearly 3.5 hrs driving. DH is already up there. I may sleep early tonight then make the drive first thing tommorrow
Great to catch up with everyones news.
Liz - Enjoy the visit with your DD and the family
Peps - More puppies :) Super exciting
Diane S - So glad they found the puppy! That would have been terrible
DD- You are doing so well with your eating and exercise - please send motivation
CC - It sounds like very organised chaos at your place. I hope you can soon have it all ready to put on the market - I know it will sell very quickly. Onto new adventures :) A trip to Australia maybe????
Love to you all. I had best keep going or I wont get out of here till super late

Congratulations on the raise and bonus!! Well deserved it sounds like! Boo on the flu shot reaction. I would love to come to Australia sometime in the near future! I could really spend my life avoiding hot weather just going back and forth to the Southern Hemisphere. This plan merits fleshing out...
