Alchemausterity II

Sorry to hear about dd2. My dc only started waking up today at about 10, and didn't come downstairs until 5. Some might say this is normal teenage behaviour, but it's sheer exhaustion for my one. Hugs.

Apple, gosh, yes: waking at 10 sounds kind of normal, but not coming down till 5 ... yeah, that sounds like exhaustion, and anyway, you know best what it is.  I'm so sorry life is that tiring for such a young one

@apple_muncher does DC have vitamin D supplements? I'm starting to think that might be a good idea here.

Today I have promised myself to empty the cupboard that contains all the plastic pots (with and without lids) and some random stuff.

That is all. 

While I was working every hour DH did a lot of the kitchen stuff. It feels good to reclaim it as my domain. I know that sounds a bit sexist but it puts me off cooking when it's a war zone.

Have a great day!

We are on vit d spray every morning as it was flagged up as an insufficiency a few months ago. We're lucky in that we have bloods done every year or two, being coeliac. But it's only the over the counter stuff, so I've no idea of its efficacy. An improved food intake would help a lot, but dc just isn't able to eat a variety of foods at all. Anyhow, I've made a Dr appointment to talk about it and ask to be referred to a paediatrician.

It's a really good idea!  My brother lived in my mum's house after she died, for a few years, and I actually did this for him, I couldn't bear to think of him living in the craziness that was my mother's idea of how to stock a kitchen - just because he's a really good cook, but not at all assertive.

I've made some space and have the first load of pots in the dw. I have A LOT.

I made some leek & potato soup for DH and stripped the covers off the sofa in the annexe. This sofa is to be plundered to make up the bits of the sitting room sofas that have been, er, dogged by bad luck.

Also trying to sort out the aga collection. Despite instructions, the silly twits turned up to collect it (450kg on a pallet) by hand. They was warned!

Morning! Dreadful night. Ironically (or not) I'm doing an online sleep workshop on Thurs.

Today I will clear another cupboard of doom and put away the plastic pots. Also do a load of washing and promenade the puppies.

Alchemilla

Cupboards, washing and pots done. Puppies not yet.

Realised the online sleep thing has a clash. Oops.

Hope you can find a resolution to the sleep thing clash - I've had to do that a couple of times recently, and it seems weird - even though I'm doing so little, I still get clashes!  Mad  

Alchemilla

Thanks KC. The clash is kitchen cupboard removal with my Dad so I'm sure it'll work out.

School wants to speak to me about DD. Uh oh. Would this be a good time to ask about a little supply next year so I can finish my master's degree research?!

Today is a real "clear the decks" day since tonight the aga engineer is coming for a recce. Also today the aga is being collected, I do hope they take some lifting kit this time.

Also...I need to get the stuff I need off work "computer that folds" and onto a stick. That's going back tomorrow. Then I need to check out the process for ordering furniture for my "home office". I should really get a job spending other peoples' money, it's my forte!!

Slept better last night, possibly due to the banishment of Daughterofsatan who has worked out how to get all four paws on one of my feet and sleep.
