Ds back home, he will find out tomorrow if he has the job. 
I am dizzy, but still keeping on top of laundry, cooking, washing up etc, but I did have to sit down for a bit after the massive strenuous task of getting dressed this morning  🤣.  I also forgot what I was going to write on my to-do- list in the 3 seconds it took to pick up my pen...... definitely not firing on all cylinders today.

Be kind to yourself…. If you need to…. Go. To. Bed! 😊

Fell asleep on the sofa for 2 and a half hours just after 11.00.   Got woken up by the Amaz0n delivery man - DH really is coming home soon if the Amaz0n deliveries have started up again.

Cleared a meter squared of back yard this afternoon  mostly shovelling rubbish into the wheelie bin, then it started raining, but I actually feel like I have achieved something. Did a seaweed feed of all the flowers, the fuchsia is full of buds, they are just waiting for DH to come home and appreciate them.  Weird evergreen silvery/ green bush  that throws out masses of tiny 1 to 2 inch long bottle brushy white flowers looks like it is about to erupt as well.

Only small wins, but still a little bit of forward momentum.

Pox!  Still testing '+'   , DH is arriving back into town at 8pm, so today will be frantic tidying up and hoovering.

We are nearly out of food.  Really annoyed that nobody has even offered to cook while I have been ' +' let  alone asking if we need anything.  

DS2 has tested '+' this morning. Joy!   That should mean I test   ' -'   tomorrow . I have dosed him up on paracetamol and told him to have a hot bath and get back into his bed.  He seems quite shaken by it.

I have offered DH a bed on the sofa when he comes home, but he is pretty much expecting to catch it on the trains on his way back.  I will have bedding ready for him on the sofa bed, and clean sheets on my bed.

Right, the hoover is calling my name.   

Everything would be simpler if I had just tested '- 'this morning . 

 I have just realised I need a bag of cactus compost,  my shopping list looks weird.

In the midst of all of this, maybe an online grocery delivery might help? 

Sorry DS2 has gone down with it. Hope he doesn’t get too grim a dose of it. 

Hoping that it helps having DH back - at least he helps with the cooking - he might be glad to do some after so long away 😊

He is dreaming of cauliflowers and aubergines.  Vegetables are very expensive in Swissland, carrots are the cheapest veg. He is now sick of carrots     

 I only have kale, cavallo nero, aubergines,  a lot of peppers, and carrots in the fridge (that is what I class as running low after 12 days of not shopping)

I am going to bribe someone to go out for a couple of french sticks, and that with olives and artichokes and sunblush + salad veg + cheese can do them for food.

We have pretty much cleared the freezer, but my bank balance is looking lovely!

Today was a productive day. I dragged two shelving units, a bedside cabinet, and a stack of carpet outside for the council free bulky item collection tomorrow.  There are actual visible bits of carpet that have been cleared in the back room of doom. The hall is cleared of all  but two bicycles , and two sewing machines are leaving the house tomorrow.
DH got father's day gifts off three of us so he is feeling loved, despite being camped out on the sofa in the living room again tonight.  Hopefully I will be negative tomorrow. 
I reach 50 revolutions of the sun tomorrow. I am honestly glad to have made it this far.
  Just got contacted by a boy I shared a house with 30 years ago. Not spoken to him for over 25 years. His partner died last week and he suddenly contacts me out of the blue...from America... Just like another boy I shared a house with 28 years ago did when his wife died two years ago.  I am starting to feel like some kind of grief fairy.  It is emotionally draining, and to be honest I can't help wondering why suicidal grief stricken men find me so bloody attractive. 
Once is fine, twice could be a coincidence, but this is starting to happen quite regularly, people who find me two decades down the line, and spew their troubles into my lap with no warning .Is it wrong to be annoyed they never bothered to contact me when they were happy? Or just because their lives were going well? But no, I have to be a crisis magnet. 
Ye Gods, I sound horrible, don't I? 😡
Oh, and it is not just men, so don't be thinking I am a femme fatale pin-up/ the one who got away/ the path never taken ( okay I don't know what is going on in their fevered cheese dreams).......because my very few 'girl' - friends have done it too. Although they tended to ask to borrow money as well. 😂
It must be my natural charm huh? . 
Drama magnet /Crisis Fairy is, however, a very badly paid position that leads to disaster dreams and feelings of impending doom (F.O.I.D)... and now to bed...

Sorry to hear about the role of Fairy of Doom …. I’m in a similar position…. You’re right, it does get wearing. 

Enjoy your newly cleared back room - at what point does it become usable enough to be renamed? 😊 And well done in spite of feeling rough on getting all of that done. 

Hope the sun shines on you today and warms you through, until it gets too warm and you have to retreat of course 😉

Oh my word … sorry …! How could I forget already? (Not awake yet, I think …)

Many Happy Returns of The Day!!
