  • Oh knickers.

    I have got my days mixed up. sod sod sod.

    I thought I was free wed, thur, but I am not, its thursday/Friday. And I really wanted to decorate my desk and repaint a wall. And go to the fish shop. (tho that is open on Friday.) !!!!. Christmas eve is normally set aside for panic shopping and wrapping. esp since I am not sure Mum's present is going to turn up.

    hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. too much to do.

    what can I do tomorrow? was going to go into work but honestly? cannot face it.....however. That attitude is not going to help. In the post thatdidn't post (where frankly I wrote down the answer to world peace and who killed JFK) I was writing about how I just have to do it - the work, it doesn't have to be perfect it just has to be done. Therefore I should go into work and collect the assignments.

    there is sunshine on crimimal minds. I remember sunshine...........It was warm. sometimes even hot.

    wow butterfly brain here!

    so I do that tomorrow, in my oh so attractive wellies.

    also need to wrap presents, clean the rest of the bathroom and the fish/Guinea pigs, my room and make a list of what I still need to buy and help my friend set up for her cocktail party. Wed I have a driving lesson. then I am going over to a friend's house for the afternoon and out with another friend in the eve.

    Thursday will be possible desk painting day. Actually work might not be open due to snow.....hmm. I have brought home 2 sets of books and all the projects other assignments), plus coursework. what could be gained by going there in this weather?? especially when I am/was feeling so relaxed....I have pretty much a week's worth of work here already............

    Ok, I know I am making excuses! but I seriously think I have enough here to do and sort out with out bringing even more stuff home. And tomorrow could be a sort out and move furniture with an eye to painting, dependent on my list/shopping needs.

    rambling now.

    so I will away to bed.

  • Technically since Holidays comes from Holy days and I haven't been anywhere near a Church I am in big trouble!

    I have had had a great time the last few days, cocktail party, dinner out, followed by lunch out today, i have seen all my close friends and its been great!!

    Now however I am faced with the mountain of housework and tidying that needs doing TOMORROW. This coupled with the fact that I am struggling to keep my dinner down (overshare I know but flipping heck I feel horrible!) its going to be a challenge!!

    I am going to do 45 minutes of sorting and then come back to make a plan!
