Ok ok, so I'm REALLY not very good at this. But I have been really busy!! Long story short getting into work again, having to reduce hours on doctors orders due to back injury whilst attending physio (when she's not on holiday...), trying to apply for a new job alongside in Youth Work to no avail.... still waiting on one application for 6 weeks now- apparently they are still deciding?!?!
An that pretty much leaves me at now. Im signed off this week after picking up some nasty chesty/throaty virus at Guilfest last weekend. Which was awesome, by the way. Played three sets on Sunday at two different stages and we got so much good feedback.
We had a mouse in our bedroom. For nearly two weeks. The little sod wouldn't take to the four traps we set up and kept stocking up with food. Which the mouse kept eating without setting off. INFURIATING.
However, not as infuriating as finding out the little bugger had taken up residence in my chest of draws, deciding to sleep in a different draw every night. Taking particular liking to my knicker draw. So upon finding out and thusly catching the furry delight, I had to wash everything I own and disinfect the draws and pretty much the entire bedroom. We ended up having to buy a new bed (FINALLY) and another set of draws for me to hold my life in. Its been a mission...
My thoughts today turn to Christmas. I mostly blame my mother, it was her 50th 2 weeks ago and we had a Christmas party for her with a tree and Christmas cake and tinsel and pretty much everything. Me and Mr B. made cake pops which were amazing.
But yes. Christmas. I've had to come to an agreement with 'the mother in-law' over Christmas, Mr B- although my age- HAS to be at his Aunts for Christmas lunch. No alternative. Not even if he is ill. I've managed to sweet talk her into allowing him to come to my parents for Christmas dinner if I spend Christmas lunch with them- to my surprise she was delighted about, considering i never get invited to anything. I'm sure she doesn't mean it and its assumed that ill turn up if Mr B is but still...
My actual thought process is more leading towards presents. Last year I made lots of presents for a change and I loved it but I felt so rushed.... If I start thinking now then I'll have plenty of time to make.
Mr B had to throw away the box that held all the advent presents I made for him for our first Christmas together- he caught the mouse in it and figured it wasn't good to keep after... He mentioned that because he's had to get rid of this one that maybe I should do it again for him this year... Nice to know my effort was appreciated =]
But now I've got to think up 25 presents and a box to put them in...
Last time I chose different things, so one day would be chocolate (like an advent calendar but a little bag of chocolates instead of one...) one day would be a present and one day would be a little certificate for something... like back massage, trip to the cinema, midnight picnic... things like that- then for christmas day i got us tickets to see Avenue Q. WHAT THE HECK AM I GOING TO DO THIS YEAR???
