Not a good night for me. The power went out around four in the morning and hasn't come back - which meant that I had no coffee! The pot I use to boil water on the gas stove, is already packed. Mewthos went off early as well and just didn't calm down. They got their treat, and I left ...
Early at work, and I'm just thinking about tomorrow.
I've just had a chat with At, he's going to see if he can come and help! He is so crippled by now, that he can't do much physical work - but he has a first-rate brain! That would really take a major load off my shoulders! And, of course, he knows the guys as well and can talk to them easily and nicely. I really, really hope he'll be there!
Today I'm a complete nervovore - I'm living on my nerves! I should probably make a list of jobs to finish this afternoon ...
List done. Now for another list: last night was a perfect example of what I'm soooo happy to leave behind: hours of loud-mouthed swearing coming from next door! Eff this and effing that ... I'm not particularly sensitive and I'm not often bothered by strong language - but this going on and on and on, day after day ... yet they complain about ME using a kitchen appliance? THAT is 'an awful noise'? And I went to bed early, so they went outside whooping and screaming at the top of their lungs! It's no longer just a Friday or Saturday thing - it's become an every evening thing! I am SO looking forward to coming home to a quiet home! With only mips and mewls to greet me! I just had to get that off my chest ...
I'm still just a bundle of frayed nerves today. Part of me doesn't even want to let mippies out this afternoon ... just want them safe and sound inside with me. But they deserve some outdoor time before their three week quarantine! Well, it won't be so bad, though, because it will take them a while to explore the whole house until they feel at home in it.
I just re-read my post when mippies had their first day out last year. I had kept them inside for three weeks. I've done research again and most suggest keeping cats inside two weeks, but always 'at least' two weeks. Three weeks was good last time, so - their first day out will be 24th October. That should be safe.
I think that I should give my brain - and my nerves - a rest now. As long as I take a walk through the old flat before leaving for the last time, all should be well. Sigh ... brain doesn't want to rest! Brain wants to keep playing movies in my head ...
I've tried to stay calm and relaxed, but I am beyond tense now. Wish I could fast-forward to tomorrow night now.
I just hope that my PC works when I set it up in my new home. If I don't post tomorrow, you'll know it didn't ... Sigh.
Back at home, I jump right in and start with the kitchen. By five everything on my list is done - and mippies want to come inside! Very, very early! They know something is happening, that this isn't home anymore, so they just want to be sure they are not left behind ... or forgotten ... or whatever their mind conjures up. Good for my nerves, too! All mips inside safe and sound! Punny, because there's lots of sound involved - mipping and mewling!
Packed most of the suitcase, just a few things left ... and I'll pack the PC tomorrow morning.
I'm taking the rest of tonight off. Relaxing. Calming mippies. Going to sleep early ...
