So tired right now that I'm practically cross-eyed. It's not every day that I can watch my own ears. They are quite dull, ears. Mine used to be full of earrings, right the way round, ten in each one. Now they are very dull, three in one ear and one in the other. Two though are diamond studs. I'm practically respectable these days.
So it's a sea of boxes right now. Giant cardboard lego all around, boxes boxes everywhere and not a cup to drink out of. Ok so not quite that bad but not far off. Crampons and rope required to go make a brew. However the upside is... moving day is soon upon us. Fingers crossed. Toes crossed. Eyes already doing the do. There is a bonus to be psychotically shattered after all.
Moving house is apparently one of the most stressful things you can do. It's not been stressful for me apart from the odd growl, but that's because the marvel that is my woman has taken the brunt. I've been flat out at work, she's been flat out doing everything else. Which is a lot. So I think that I'm going to come home with a fuck off huge bottle of bubbly when we are having our first night in the new abode, that and a box of cadbury's flakes. Believe me, this bathroom demands flakes. I'll be handing them out at the door to visitors - welcome, and here is your flake. Bathroom on the first floor, you'll see why you need it when you look at the bath.
I have a fucker of a week ahead. The dreaded move. A close of a deal worth more than a few pennies. And worst of all, every parent's nightmare, the dreaded nativity. You are bricking it in case your child is the one who cries / pukes / forgets his or her lines / all of the above. Parental pride be buggered, this is where parental terror sets in.
It's also going to be a slightly unsettled little girl too, as her dad also moves house very soon. lots of upheaval. At least I can settle her down over the holidays, in our new home, and yes yes YES it's christmas soon.
Some don't care for Christmas. I love it. I love seeing happiness because of who is around, being together. Surprises and pleasure when the presents are open and somnolent relaxation at the end of the day when silences are contented and a glass of wine in front of the log fire with those you love is one of the highlights of the day.
It's a new chapter in our lives soon.
I can't wait to turn the page and begin.
