Evening
i didnt sleep that well
after last night's announcement i was worrying over work and such as I wasnt really sure what would be happening. I got up and had a bit of a mad rush round and told jack we needed to be leaving at 7:20am-7:25am but cus he faffs we got in the car at half past >.> I dropped my Oz off for day care and drove to work.
we got to work to find next to no body in the car park it was strange, we did have the email last night stating we could work from home if we wanted to and i think the majority of staff chose to work from home. I didnt quite appreciate that children are off school til february half term tho...jeez. thats like 7 weeks away really. What are as technicians suppose to do for 7 weeks without lessons!?
I found school hard, long and boring. I took so many breaks as I was just so exhausted but the trouble with taking breaks is that theyre boring and long and make the day more boring and longer. I got through the day and we even left a bit earlier too. I got some of my star wars display up as well. I havent finished it but I have stuff to work on for it.
we went straight to mum's house for a cup of tea and Oz
we had no idea what the state of affairs was with the house as we were suppose to have an electrician over today and matt - our bathroom person. Mum said both of them had gone home. The electrician for whatever didnt finish and left. Matt discovered the true extent of our issue with our bathroom and said it needs plastering - surprise surprise.
so basically it was safe to go home as it was all up and running still, so we went home. I was thinking of doing a walk whilst it was still light out but once I got back to my car i realised how cold it was and didnt bother as i had been cold all day at work.
once home did i realise how much dust a new bathroom makes...to say i shut all my doors to prevent dust going everywhere. it literally did nothing. dust is EVERYWHERE. i took a step away and crawled in a ball on the sofa. my god i need to get a grip. we are so lucky to be having all this done for us and being to afford it and to get it so quickly. a little dust doesnt hurt anyone. but i think it was the fact that it had gone everywhere. in pen pots, on books, in our cutlery draw, everywhere. Jack bless him just got on with it and did about 4 rounds of washing up so we would have stuff to cook and eat with. I told him i was grateful and that was ok I was just tired and stuff seems worse when youre tired
so we had dinner and cleaned our computers, but jack discovered he could join in with online friends so i left him and video called my mum with Oz :)
then I have come on my laptop and managed to negotiate a different tv cabinet! and its even cheaper at only £10. Its a half hour drive but I am gonna go pick it up tomorrow! then I can hide the cables so Oz wont chew them and be electrocuted!
tomorrow we have no power or heating or wi-fi or toilet!
so were getting up early, showering, going over to mums. Then we will set off in the morning to this place for this cabinet then spending the rest of the day at mum's cus i will be so stressed with noise and dust at home not to mention no heating will make me ache. So we're working from home but mum's home XD
i do feel less stressed knowing i havent got the whole week to get through at work
we're home for the rest of the week!
