Well it’s Monday. The
start of a new week. I am grateful as though we have had dreadful storms, rain
and wind combined, not too far in fact too close for comfort; but we have seen
on our news dreadful scenes of floods. People have had to be rescued from the
first floors of their houses. As a lovely lady has just said to me, what about
the cows and sheep too? I always say to Hub and our Son. “The poor animals.” I
think about stray dogs, rabbits and so on, but I have stupidly never thought
about the farm animals, perhaps naively I thought the farmer would
know storms are coming and transport all of the animals to somewhere safe. I
guess one of my favourite stories as a child, was Noah.
My little Wagga is on a free run right now as I type. She is
with her lovely friend who brings her back filthy, oh my house? But I am so
happy that my little girl has had a great run. And this week, end of week, my friend
Artie is coming so I hope to get her out again if the weather isn’t too bad, If
it is, Artie and I have a lot of catching up to do so we shall sit in and have
coffee, but I think that Wagga will drive us crazy as she knows Artie means
party. And a free run.
Teen is at work and has a day off tomorrow. Hub is in
Peterborough working. He is with his new pup today. It will be odd for him,
going on the train alone with a newbie. Then introducing Little Fella to hubs
colleagues. No doubt tonight Wagga will be getting told the story about the big
lad’s day at work? Then the dog may have a say. Hahahaha. Also I’m sure he has
been so good today that he will let off some steam with the toy box. Shall I
bother hoovering? What with mucky pup coming in soon from our pond of a field,
and then the two of them running around our small living room.
Dinner tonight? I really don’t know. Not decided yet. That
isn’t a good sign for me.
I am overwhelmed with washing right now. Bedding and three
loads of washing that is searching to sort out colours, nightmare, putting them
in the washing machine hoping I haven’t put them on a wrong setting? Then tramping
to the garage to put them in the drier, then back in the house, back out to the
garage to take out dry clothes, bring them in and take out again wet clothes. And
it all starts again.
When I learned my Sister in law was coming, I said to Hub,
oh great, I can ask her to help me with the freezer. That is also in the
garage. As it’s been so cold and late when our shopping has been delivered, Hub
has been going to put the frozen food away. I haven’t been at all well to battle
the cold nights. Well, grateful to Hub, but, he has mixed fish with meet and
meet with vegetarian food. A total nightmare. I don’t know what is what now.
Hub said no way to let our sister in law see our shocking garage? Say wha’a’at?
Have you seen his office upstairs? Well let’s just say I
ventured in there today and could hardly get through the door. It’s a disgrace.
Yesterday afternoon and evening I wrapped about thirty
Christmas presents. Please remind me to buy all men the same next year and all
women. Please? What a pain. I must say I have not enjoyed a single second of
Christmas so far. Hub is getting so cross with me. Well, I’m so much better in
my health. Though today is the last day of my antibiotics. I’m far from one
hundred per cent and Hub thinks I should go for more, but we shall see. I think
I can get better on my own from now, it’s the cough I can’t stand. Still
rattling little and feel really sick from time to time but that I’m sure will
be the biotics. Hence I guess one of the few reasons I’m not in the Christmas mood.
What is the pressure too for all happy clappy moods this time of year? For some
it’s the most difficult time of the year. Family time for those who don’t have
one? Caring sharing for those who live on their own, or even if they have a
partner or parents, feel still as though they are alone!
For those who have lost a loved one and just can’t cope with
this time of year. They feel they have to paint on a smile for Christmas. No
paint here to Hubs annoyance. I have genuinely been really worried and still am
about my health I think it’s because of my heart pounding so fast and how
exhausted I have felt for three out of four weeks. I really have thought it has
been something more sinister. Also, I really am struggling what to buy Hub this
year. He is the most difficult person to buy for and he always spoils me and is
the best gift buyer. He buys Teen some great stuff this year he will love his
gifts. I’m better at buying Hubs daughters I have got them some lovely things,
though doesn’t help when Hub downs them when I tell him what I have bought
them. This year I’m proud of their presents no matter what he says. He has
bought them their big gift and it’s so practical. Funny thing is, only them I seem
to be able to buy things for that isn’t the boring practical things. I have got
them some really fun gifts that I would have loved at their age also things I
know they are into. As for my Son, I leave that to Hub. Apart from some much
needed practical’s I have bought. For Hub, there is nothing practical I can get
him, he has it all. In fact he has everything I know he likes. We have been
together now for a lot of Christmases and he has been spoiled. Nothing left
now.
He wanted an antique cuckoo clock. He got it, he wanted a wooden
weather station, and he got it. He wanted another thing wooden for the wall
which tells the temperature I can’t remember what the heck it’s called? Oh, is
it a barometer? Anyway, he got it. I have bought him facial sauna
and really expensive head neck and so on massage products and he has got really
lovely classy watches too as well as so much more including something odd for a
man and that is bronze ornaments that he likes. Personally, I don’t like them
at all, but he loves them.
Because as children, in our play time, we used to meet for a
quick kiss, we would run down the valley of our playground and sit behind the
pyramid and have our innocent smooch then run to play with our friends, I have
bought him every kind of pyramid I can find. Last year his unusual gift was a
juicer. Those are some of the gifts I can remember for now, what’s left? Well,
what he wants and what I will buy may be two different things. He is wanting a Apple
watch. Hmm. Why? He has an IPhone and lap top, what is the point of a watch?
Humbug me. Hahaha.
I think Christmas is about families, now my brother in law
did ask us for dinner on the big day, but, his sister will be there and there
is not a chance Hub will sit in the same room as her. Also we love Christmas at
home just the three of us. Its cosy and we eat chocolate and watch TV with
candles and Christmas lights on.
Christmas is about going to the cinema and seeing a
Christmas movie and the theatre. Well, as for the movie, Hub says he’s learning
the route, but that road scares me and there isn’t anything worth watching at
the theatre. Our city is awful for theatres and concerts. Unlike where I used
to live.
Oh Bloggets, I’m so so so very sad about what occurred last
night. My IPod broke down. I did the factory setting thing, it was fully charged,
my techno teen looked at it and its dead. It’s not even two years old. I’m so
fed up as I listened to it every night during the night too if teen was out for
one of his almost all-nighters, I would play some music to calm me down. Also shopping,
as in groceries? Oh it’s so easy on there. I have just done some shopping on my
lap top and it’s almost impossible. Certainly five times longer to do than my
IPod. Also I have so much on there I have saved for two years. I can’t believe
it works perfectly one day the next it’s gone? I hope really hope teen will
take it to the IPod Doctors tomorrow.
Off for some lemon and honey tea and then wait for my Waggs
to return. She will be like a well-used paintbrush. Her fur which is normally
like satin will look awful. Feel like a paintbrush just before it dries.
Must remember also to buy some food for the birds in our
garden. Winter is when they need that most. Also when it gets colder, they need
water as the lakes and so on freeze up but your fresh water doesn’t so they use
that to fluff up again their feathers.
Take care cos I care. X
