*collapses in exhaustion*
Apr. 8th, 2006 08:18 pmI hate April. Seven birthdays, Easter, and my annual review at work. How I've managed to last three years in that place, I do not know.
Birthday one was last saturday - Rowan's godmother Mel. Didn't get the chance to get her anything (I am brassic and can never figure out what gifts to give), but she called by to see us. Rowan was so happy to see her he sobbed his little heart out when she made to leave.
Tomorrow it's the birthdays of both my paternal grandfather and his youngest son, as well as my former roommate - though he hates birthdays and tries to ignore them. We went in to see them this morning, before we had to take Rowan to yet another of his nursery friend's birthday parties. A three-year-old this time.
The party was at a community centre on the edge of the park where the Nursery is. It was a basic softplay party, with a bouncy castle, and food was laid on in the next room. Half an hour in, there was an accident on the bouncy castle where Alex, the birthday boy, accidentally headbutted one of the other boys in the nose. Needless to say there was quite a bit of blood, though Sam later got back on the castle like nothing had happened. Amazing how resilient children can be.
Spent the evening in my bedroom trying my best to fold up my old carpet. Not an easy task with my soft nails - I'm not afraid of breaking them, 'cause they do that all the time. I just don't like the way they keep breaking beneath the quick...*winces* I also unpacked my new mattress and, as I suspected, it's too big for my bed. Which means I will have to save up to replace the bed, which is fine with me. It was my marriage bed after all, regardless of the fact it was never actually used as such due to the fact Rowan wouldn't sleep in his cot at night. I would not be sorry to part with it at all.
Hopefully I should be able to sleep in my room in a few days, though my new carpet won't be delivered till the 22nd. The guy I spoke to at the carpet store last week didn't tell me they have to wait ten days for the insurance cheque to clear before they deliver.... If I'd known that I would have gotten the final measurements done sooner - if it weren't for that they'd be delivering on tuesday *sulks*
I am so glad I have the next week off, even if I do have a lot to sort out. RL really sucks.
Man...I had more I wanted to say. I spend my quiet moments thinking up what I could note in my journal - even without realising it - but I never remember even half of it by the time I turn my computer on. I often wish I had some way to record my thoughts telepathically for use later - wouldn't that be cool, and possibly scary, to see all the thoughts that run through your head at any given time? Think what you could learn about yourself....
