I've decided that writing in my journal/diary program,and then cutting and pasting here is the only way I'll bother updating in LJ. So, this will always be a recount of my day, whenever I remember to do it. Hope yo don't mind the boring crap. Here's me exposed:
Geez I hate getting out of bed. Whoever invented rest was a genius - and he who invented a day's work was a bastard. So, I struggled out of bed, my dog bouncing about me trying to nip my hands in play.
My head feels better, but this cough lingers on. I manage to make lunches without too much hassle this morning. Actually it was easy - they are having tuck shop today.
Matt said he was going to the dump, and then to have a look at some car parts a bloke has to sell near there. I took the kids to school, leaving the garage door open, and the house unlocked, assuming John was still here. When I got back, I looked about, but no-one was about. I called Matt, and John answered the phone. I was so ticked off. No, I was pretty livid. This is a constant occurrence. I had a go at him, a rather large and loud go - he is always - ALWAYS - telling us to let him know what we are doing so he knows what's going on, and gets extremely pissed off with us if we forget - even if it slips our minds because of other things, but he never - NEVER - returns the consideration. I got him to put Matt on the phone and I tore chunks off him too. If he had just said "and John is coming too", OR, if JOHN had said "I'm going with Matt" then there wouldn't have been a problem. I think he now understands that to get some consideration, he must also show some. They slunk in sheepishly when they got back. For goodness sake! I had left the house unlocked, and my dog had only to wander through the garage to the front when she discovered she was alone, and she would have been gone. She doesn't enjoy being alone, and will find people. She is content to follow rules and stay out of the garage as long as someone is there. I have spent in excess of $500 on her health and well-being. She is worth over $1000 just as a pet to purchase. Grrrrr. Not to mention my computer and other sentimental stuff left alone in an unlocked house.
Matt took me with him to Michael's work, and then to his place to look at the screen door he's trying to put in. I think he doesn't want me ranting at John anymore. Tough. If he deserves a rant, he'll get one. The man is 49 years old. Rules still apply.
Anyway. The door they are trying to put the screen on isn't standard size. It's three different measurements, top, middle and bottom. Matt will have to pull the architraves off and pack them out to a uniform size. On the way back to Michaels' we went to Anaconda, to look at the camping goods. Matt had a climb up the 10 metre wall thing they have. He said it wasn't easy. I snapped a few pics with my phone. We went back to Michael then, to let him know what Matt will do with the door. Matt got caught helping him with an outboard motor. There you go, stop in at the auto-electrician and as soon as Matt sees a boat motor he's there for the duration. Half an hour later, I removed him almost forcibly, with reminders of the rest of the day's events. We went to his mum and dad's armed with a kitchen plan book for the flat under their house. They are trying to get the kitchen repaired/fixed/replaced before letting someone move in. They are hoping Colin (Matt's son), will rent it. So we played with tape measures, and kitchen plans for a while, before leaving to go home. I had a wax appointment at 2pm. Matt dropped me home, then went back to do some sanding and plastering again at yesterday's job.
I went to my appointment. I only ever book in for a half leg wax and a Brazilian, but she always also waxes my eyebrows and armpits. Lovely lady. I was out at 3pm, time to get the boys from school, so I phoned Matt. He was finished and back home, so he got the boys, and I picked up Storm from kindy.
We had bacon, sausages, hash browns, egg and onions for dinner - a lovely artery hardening exercise. Doesn't help my weight loss, but gee those mushrooms are nice. While I was washing up, Matt said River was downstairs with Alex and his guitar again. He said River has been showing an interest in the guitar. e tried Auskick (footy), but wasn't good. A shame because Logan is brilliant at it. Jasmine is brilliant with piano. Matt had always said he wouldn't let him do soccer or anything because he wasn't good at sports, and I had upped him about not letting him try to do things. He won't know what he likes and what he's good at if he doesn't give them a go. So he said how about a guitar for Christmas. I bought Alex the guitar for about $40 off ebay. It was just to learn on, so a cheapie is fine. So I'm on ebay checking out cheap guitars. And walkie talkies for Blade for Christmas.
Wow, a bit of an epic tonight. Might go do some Roswell for a change... |
