Guess what?
Today I am going to TAKE IT EASY.
Yep, I am going to sit on me bum and do bugger all. Take a day off.
Yeah, I'm talking shit.
I will do a couple of things, like get the last set of curtains up.
But that is about all I want to do today. I am not silly, I know I need to take a break.
ABOVE: My 'revised' sewing space. I'm happy with it.My big trestle at the other end of the garage. I found the plastic pipes to put on the legs to make it higher again too. Lucky that, I thought I might have thrown them out.
It's time to get up and check on Coco. She's been on my mind on and off all night. She really wasn't well yesterday. I hope she's bounced back today.
9.45 am. And I have done the vacuuming. And decided the curtains will have to wait again.
My arms and back just would not handle me working with heavy, cumbersome curtains today.
If it takes another month to get them up, so what? It's only annoying ME. We have curtains in the windows ... so they will 'do' for now.
COCO: seems to be of a similar disposition as yesterday. Not hurt in any way, just showing her age. I just need to accept she is 15 and any time we have with her from here on in, is a bonus.
ABOVE: That dark grey carpet is a bloody NIGHTMARE to vacuum! Every little bit of fluff and threads stick to it. I was constantly taking the head off the end and sucking it up with the hose. Grrrrr. Just what my back needed.
Bitch over.
I'm sitting thinking I'll just fluff around doing really little jobs for the rest of the day. Nothing strenuous. Like, actually take it easy. 😊 I mean it.
11 am: I was just about to go out and get a sewing room chair.... finally, but ran into a bloke and his wife who just moved in across from us about 3 days ago. They asked me in, and we had a really nice chat. They are really lovely, and I'm sure they will come over and meet Stew soon.
I'm just heating up a hot pod for Coco, then I will go out and get a chair. I WILL GET A CHAIR TODAY, come hell or high water.
ABOVE: I did it! I got a freakin' chair, and the nice man even trolleyed it down the road and put it in my car for me. Amazing customer service, Warehouse Stationary.
On my way home, I dropped another box of stuff off at the Salvation Army Op Shop, then grabbed more net, this time for the dining room window.
I hadn't planned on putting any there, but I just felt like a goldfish in a bowl, so it's going up.
2.18 pm, and I've just had some lunch. And I'm gunna do nothing for the next hour.
8.35 pm: I actually had a nana nap this afternoon! It was awesome.
Stew arrived home from work, he went to the pub and I went to the kids for a couple of hours.
Then I joined Stew for hot chips and a chat with the regulars.
Home and now relaxing. Having a more relaxing day today was much needed, and I am feeling pretty relaxed.
Hoping my arms start feeling better soon!
Catch ya tomorrow.
You, take it easy??? 😂 That's as funny as the loo paper joke.
ReplyDeleteBut try not to overdo it 😄
If you get a larger, light coloured rug then you can place it under your lounge chairs so it stays in place. We have one and it never moves. Maybe get a vacuum that has that rotating head to get threads? My daughter got one from Kmart and it picks everything up plus just recharges so no cords.
ReplyDeleteI had a vacuum just like that. I gave it to Brylee. Derrrr.
DeleteWhat about shouting yourself the robovac and it can vacuum all night while your asleep 3 of my friends have them they absolutely love it. Just have to put your chairs up on table every night.
ReplyDeleteWhen you say take it easy you will at your own pace x
Having to put the chairs up every night would totally piss me off, so nope!
DeleteAh! You met a neighbor! Glad it was a friendly sort.
ReplyDeleteSend Coco virtual cuddles and snacks!
I am wondering how long that gray capret will actually last.... Hum Dee Doo - something tells me ; not long.
It’s nice to met a neighbour who is new to your village like you - you can settle into your new surroundings together. Is the door near your clock the front entry door to your unit?
ReplyDeleteYes
