THURSDAY
Another tiring day! Yesterday my dad put together the kitchen trolley for me. It is basically a three shelf trolley with wheels which has helped me tidy up the kitchen a bit instead of having stuff lying everywhere on every surface. Our kitchen is tiny so I need every bit of space saving that I can! I took all my bakery products and kitchen staples out of the big cupboard and onto the trolley. Now I have space to get my canned ice coffee out of the boxes on the floor and into the space in the cupboard. Yea, another task completed!
I continued trying to get files deleted and sorted to be more user friendly on the computer. I was working on it all day up to about 10pm so no time for reading sadly. Still, getting anything productive done is a win at the moment and gradually the house is getting into shape.
FRIDAY
My dad let me organise his new desktop storage unti for him and that got all his stuff off the living room floor where it has been living and breeding since we moved all the bookcases! I'm pleased that we have another task done. Today I have to do more on the computer and I have to cut all the newspapers from July ready to go into my scrapbooks eventually! Update. Of course I never got near the newspapers I was intending to cut as getting the computer stuff done took way longer than expected.
Tonight was the toilet visit from hell-constipated to start with, taking ages for things to actually progress, and then the panic of WHY WON'T IT FLUSH and having to poke it with the toilet brush!!! Sorry, that was pure gross but I intend to share my miseries with all of you whether you like it or not! Feel free to gag as much as you like! The good thing is that my toilet visit let me finish Jenny Lawson's 'Lets Pretend This Never Happened' and I was sharing her toilet laxative rapist notegiver drama while experiencing my own problems!
SATURDAY
Groan! My stomach feels like it hosted a serious party last night but without giving me the fun alcohol buzz that goes with it. Seriously there can't be more of yesterday's drama to come, surely! (Don't call me Shirley). Anyhoo, today I caught up on blog visits and comments so I'm nicely on schedule. I'll be trying to write a mini book review post while trying to follow the football scores on Twitter as the new Scottish football season starts today. Another panic filled season to come no doubt!
YAS! My beloved football team have won their first match of the season and it was against a tough side that we usually find hard to beat. It's weird having the football back and having something new to panic about every week.I was also pleased to get some good reading done tonight. I read two Paddington books and a short fun zombie novella so that gets the weekend off to a really great start! I even started on a third Paddington book which I'll finish tomorrow.
SUNDAY
Between another bout of insomnia and raging gut pains this morning, I'm in a bit of a foul mood right now! I did manage to write and publish my mini review catchup post so that's a bit of a win. I'm still a bit behind with about ten Paddington reviews, two Enid Blyton and a few others too. Well, five written so far today is better than nothing! I'll gradually get caught up. My dad built another of those desktop shelf things and will be happily sorting things out to put on it tomorrow. I'm getting a decent amount done each day but the 'to-do' pile also seems to be forever growing!
MONDAY
Why is there always so much bloody housework to do every week? It's never ending! This morning I've got two loads of washing to get done (one being a dressing gown and slippers), I have to dust, get the ironing done and be ready for the Asda delivery coming this morning. They want to stop using plastic bags to put the stuff into but that means unpacking every item by hand into my hall and repacking it into bags to transport to the kitchen. That was a serious nightmare on the last delivery so I've begged them to deliver it all in plastic bags this time! The environment is going to have to wait as I'm knackered and that needs to come first this week!
Overnight I read another Paddington book so I have book 13 in the series plus two recently published editions and then I'm done. What am I going to do when Paddington ends! On the plus side my bank account is letting me buy a cross stich of Catherine of Aragon to add to the Anne Boleyn I've ordered. I just hope I can get the other four before they go out of stock!!!
Seems like a mixed bag for your week lol

It was a bit! Slept a bit better last night but feel a bit sluggish today. Never mind, a bit of Paddington and the Great British Bake Off season 10 to catch up with will make it all better!
DeleteI hate that housework is never done, too! But at least you made progress on lots of other things Thurs. and Fri. And yay, your football team won. :)
ReplyDeleteThere were good bits to the week for sure! I treated myself to a few books just for fun and I'm in that happy book place right now!
DeleteOh no! Hope you're feeling much better this week. You'll be glad to know Cass is doing great and didn't even have to go to the vet. He wanted Auntie Chuckles to know.
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased about Cass! I was really worried about him and I bet you were going frantic too. Phew, no vet is always a good thing!
DeleteHouse work, ugh. I've gotten into the mentality that it is something "to do", never something "to finish". Otherwise, it's overwhelming in how it keeps coming and coming and coming...
ReplyDeleteHouse work is evil I think! You're right it is 'do' rather than finish! I have the ironing to do next...great!
Deletewell, that's a full week. glad you got some things out of your system...pun intended. sports are going so well in the us...except for golf. i don't see how they will be able to have a football season here...i will miss it very much

I'm pleased to get a few things done around the house which is something! Our sport seems to be getting back on track which is good for my dad!
DeleteUrgh, I hope you feel better, nothing worse than problems in that vicinity. My father in law is in his element now the football is on, he once told me it was the first thing he thought about in the morning and the last thing at night, I’m not entirely convinced he was joking. My other half is happy because the PGA golf starts today, me not so much as it’ll be on the tv constantly and there is only so much golf I can take.
ReplyDeleteHope this week is better for you, stay safe out there, I see our cases are on the rise again.
My dad goes mental watching the football, appealing to me as if I can overturn the referres decisions! He also insists on telling me the parentage and racing record of every horse he backs when I'm trying to read or blog! So frustrating!!! I'm happy that Darts is back on TV and I'm also watching bits of the cricket. I love Ryder Cup golf, the rest I can watch in small doses.
DeleteYes I see Aberdeen is in lockdown again. Our FM is having a bad week with that, the Salmond inquiry, the hospital inquiry and the SQA farce!
