I had big plans

source unknown

I lay awake last night making plans for this day. Not that I wanted to lie there for an hour wide awake when I could have been asleep. Every night for two weeks now its the same story and im waking up groggy. And I thought I wasnt a morning person before. Huh! What did I know. I wanted to sew in my new tidy space today. I deserved to have a play and do something exciting, fresh, different. My head is full of ideas and I need to get them out now that im not coughing every. single. moment.

A bit of background knowledge.

MrTL started back at night shift this week. So things feel back to front, not that thats a bad thing, we all need to adjust thats all.

Yep its topsy turvy land at the top of my Faraway Tree.

Allow me to tell you about my very non eventful day. Apart from a needed gift to myself of a nice pair of pyjamas to sloth around in cos thats all I do, isnt it? (pic coming)

I woke (for good) and actually got out of bed at 9:30

put heaters on

made nice salty porridge

filled sink with hot water that is still sitting there but has obviously gone cold (dont like to admit this but hey, ill do them tomorrow)

put washing on

turned dryer on

ironed one shirt and one item to post

checked emails, ironed another thing to post

searched for anything the Mr asked for

 dusted around tv

  a windowsill

performed 1mm from baldness haircut

waved goodbye to the teenager

patted the dog and fed it

vacuumed up hair and while I was at it did half the house as far as the cord would reach

looked at clock, 1st hour gone

drove the Mr to the train station

got told where and how to park

had an argument about not parking fast enough cos he was in a hurry ( I WAS TOO.

 to get rid of bossy him so I can start my day 

how about you get out faster?)

now im awake! no kiss goodbye for you

snuck to the op-shop

bought a light shade and a quilted bedspread

mood picked up slightly

went home to half drunken cup of luke-warm tea

boiled kettle again and made cup of tea number two

poured excess hot water on most offensive weeds in garden (what, you dont do that?)

put rubbish out

wiped up floor around leaking fridge

phoned a friend to say I would be late meeting for coffee

arrived late anyway

"I cant stay longer than an hour or so"

bought very lovely and very needed pyjamas

mood resumed to normal level

helped friend shop for dresses for an italian summer

found two dresses that she'll probably get home and second guess

came home wrapped post parcels

raced to post office

rushed to bank,

wrong one! rushed to other bank

 op-shop was only just still open

where did my day go?

I had big plans for today...

  I have days like this alot. I dont like them very much. They are not productive

 but still full of lots of life stuff. I wish I could streamline my life how ive streamlined my house.

 How great that would be.

I have been sewing tonight and have added one lonely eskimo to the shop. Just squeezed in some photos before the light faded.

Celebrate.

one. thing...

I have fifteen more minutes until the Mr gets home.... I wonder if I can cut something new out?
