Day 29 of 100, Wednesday 21st November

Another one of those nights. I’m clearly resisting the move subconsciously – by creating a vicious cycle! Well, it’s not working, it’s slowing me down, but that’s all.

I woke up very early this morning with Mewthos curled up against me – who could possibly get up? Not me! So I turned over, and only got up after eight. It rained quite hard this morning, looking at the garden, I see the path washed over somewhat, where the trench crosses it. I’m just wondering how nobody ever thought of extending the ditch in all these years? I guess because it wasn’t a simply ‘jump’ to the conclusion – it required a bit of actual thinking.

Sheez, am I in a foul mood or what? So I went into the garden, seed collecting. Mewthos was under my feet the entire time, throwing himself as high up my legs as he could reach, then rolling on the ground under my feet. Of course he got a lot of attention, eventually I picked him up and held him for quite some time.

My PC shut down again twice this morning – no apparent reason. Strangely enough, it didn’t upset me in the least. Right now I’m checking the boxes in the top wardrobe in the spare room – mippies help! Ha Ha, they managed to drop everything I had set out in a loud clatter and all three came shooting out the room! Mini’s only as far as the lounge, but Ziva went halfway down the stairs before she stopped and looked at me enquiringly! Even though I calmly told her it’s okay, she wouldn’t come back.

Okay, that’s another box-set complete. Still have some DVD’s out, which I acquired here. I’ve also decided to use one of the drawers for cat toys, etc. and one drawer for items precious to me, nothing heavy, though.

I was planning a rice dish for dinner tonight, but I just don’t have the energy, so I took out a spatchcock chicken out of the freezer. It’s not a heavy meal, yet it’s quick & easy – just fry it in the pan. Ziva clearly approves of my choice – though, for the life of me, I can’t tell how she can ‘smell’ what’s defrosting in a sealed bag?

I think I should take a day completely off from this whole depressing situation – I just don’t know how. Ideally it would require time away from the place, but that would be unfair on my mippies, who also deserve a day off from crazy mommy. Art? That’s time out, indeed.

And yet, I should set the carpet cleaning thing in motion. And get all the boxes from the garage up here, to avoid any further water damage.

I’m up late again, I just don’t feel like going to bed, even though I’m tired. I guess it’s a matter of taking the body and the mind should follow. I think chocolate should be involved. And ice cream. Chocolate chip muffins with ice cream? Hmm, that sounds really good! I’m smiling now, something to look forward to!
