Moved out

 Evening

So I think last night was my last night at my family home

I went to bed at 9:45pm and then woke up at 1am needing pain killers

so I got up and had a mammoth bowl of cereal and pain killers then went to bed at 2am

but I can tell I didnt sleep all that well

Not only that I had to be over at the bungalow for 7am as we could have our freezer delivered between 7am and 11am, so I set  my alarm for 6:40am

I didnt see mum before I left the bungalow I just told dad what I was doing and left at 6:50am

I saw Jack for a bit before chris came to pick him up for school

then I had my breakfast and a brew by myself, I settled down in front of 3 episodes of 'what we do in the shadows' a series I have been meaning to watch, as I have seen bits

the delivery men came at 9:20am so it wasnt too bad

they dropped it off and left and I somehow managed to unpack it then just left it as the instructions said to, I let jack know it had come. Then I finished painting the porch! so all that is left to do in there is the white wood work which isnt too big a job but I am thinking of doing the door and bathroom door as well as it is filthy.

I came home at 10am and had a shower, and felt exhausted. It had hurt to hold the paint roller and just generally paint, think its from painting yesterday. So I went to bed and woke up 2 and a half hours later....jeez 

so I had my lunch which was soup Jack had made

he had txted me to say he finished school at 1:30pm and was going into the city centre to finish his christmas shopping.

Mum meanwhile helped me pack my stuff, I had a lot to pack as you can imagine. My brother kindly put all the stuff in mine and mum's car. Then we had a brew with Oz and the girls. I could tell mum found packing difficult because she doesnt want me to go. She knows its got to happen and has accepted it but doesnt have to like it.

We dropped all my stuff off at 3:45pm and then Jack turned up 10mins later from the city

and mum said she would leave us to it, my brother left and mum hugged me I hoped she wouldnt cry as I would cry! but she was strong for me

Jack helped me put together my desk and chair that had arrived today ^^ so I have a nice little corner in his study to sit on my laptop :) Its so lucky they came today as they are not due for another week! fate! and then we put some of my stuff away but I havent brought EVERYTHING over as I just havent.

Like I havent got all my clothes or my plush or figures but I will bring them over as and when. I wont bring over craft stuff until I have a craft room. And as for Oz, my parents are still hunting for a cage for him. But I will see him every day.

we then had a minute to rest before we cooked pasta and ate that, but I wish I hadnt as it really hasnt sat well in my stomach. Just not on good terms with food cus of mentalness i guess

so thats it, I am here

I could be here for the rest of my life if I chose.

in this bungalow, with Jack

its still sinking in, Ive shed the odd tear this evening when he hasnt been looking. Its just overload of emotion as I couldnt ask for it any better, the house is practically redecorated, my family is a 5min walk, Oz will join us, I have Jack, I have money to live off, comforts and yeah I need to be happy and grateful and I know I will be I just need to settle down with with all. i feel restless but I havent done any exercise today T^T so i hope I can sleep :/ I am just tired all the time and have to give my energy to more important thing sometimes, like packing today for example

Jack came home with goodies from work, people had gifted him with things for being so amazing. he said many people wished me to get better and a merry chirstmas. which was nice but I feel so distant from work and all that are there. its odd. i want to return but I also dont want to return.

Jo is just overwhelmed with everything right now @.@

I will get there I am sure

I have many to support me

but now my main support has shifted from mum to jack

is he up to the task?

we shall have to see

tomorrow

at 11am Jack has a driving lesson for 2 hours and so mum said she will come over with Oz maybe, then me and jack are going for a walk down the river as we have done nothing together for so long. Then going over to my family's for take away pizza!

Our bed room

Could be my last night at my family home

 Evening

I actually slept! Thank god man, so I woke up at 8:30am

got ready to go out and by 9:20am I was painting the porch

Jo gets on with things~

But before I painted, I went into our bedroom for my crappy clothes to paint in and found this....

I was disgusted but also very amused as I knew Jack had positioned them just for my entertainment. As I told him to look after Hammington and I found Snorlax having his way with her!! So I took a photo and sent it to Jack saying 'what the hell jack! you were suppose to look after her!!"

painting was alright actually, I painted for 90mins with my music playing and the sun shining, so it wasnt too bad or lonely. And I got the first coat done ^^ Needs a second coat.

I txted mum who was 7 doors down that I had finished and was just tidying up, as she said she wanted to bring her friend - my 80 year old neighbour 7 doors down - round to see the bungalow.

Luckily I had put right Hammington and Snorlax before my neighbour came over and had a heart attack at the scene before her. So she had a look around and was very impressed with our home ^^

I came home with mum and we had lunch, then we sat for a bit I was exhausted to be honest, painting did a number on me but it felt like such an achievement. Mum kindly dyed my hair, its just my natural colour so you cant even tell it just makes my hair colour even and shiny and soft too

then we went for a walk, finishing up at the bungalow and had a brew when Jack came home.

we talked a little bit and then mum went, giving us time for each other so we just laid on the bed and talked, I told jack about the sheer amount of stuff that will need to come over to the bungalow over the weekend. theres...a....lot...and I have no idea where it is all gonna go. But mum says I can move out and just keep taking bits over like I have been doing, theres not pressure to take EVERYTHING in one go. so thats nice.

I walked home so jack could play games and have his dinner. He was impressed with my painting and agreed it looks loads better and warmer too. It is his last night of freedom as we have said that I will be sleeping over there from now on. should be anyway! its such a big step but I am feeling better about it all than I once did.

I came back and had dinner then I found some time to actually do some drawing, started doing the picture of me and hammington, Im thinking of making it a little bit nudy XD cus its for Jack's desktop picture and I think it will be funny

It's 7:50pm but I am so tired, it hurts to look at the computer screen so I think I am done here.

Tomorrow

We should be getting a freezer delivered! But delivered to the bungalow so it means I will need to be at the bungalow between the expected delivery times - whenever that may be! So I am unsure how the day will pan out. I will need to take some stuff over to the bungalow, I am having dinner over there and sleeping over there. To be honest it could be my last night here tonight as I do need to start actually living in my own home. And to get settled during the holidays would be perfect.

I hope I can finish the second coat in the porch way and get that almost finished then I will just need to do the white work in there and it will be almost done.

we shall see what tomorrow brings

heart improvements

 Evening

I went to bed at 9:30pm and read for a bit as usual, but woke up at 11:20pm? why?

I couldnt have been asleep for very long >.> it was rather annoying

I tried my hardest to get back to sleep but I just ached quite badly so at 11:45pm I ended up getting up for some pain killers, and as I didn't feel much better and quite stressed with the situation I decided to tune off and paint my nails at gone midnight XD so now I have pretty flowers on my nails. I went to bed around 1am then slept through til 8:20am

This morning I had a repair session on my sewing machine. I repaired my pyjama leg, made some dungarees smaller, fixed the straps on another pair of dungarees

I had a shower then had a slightly early lunch with mum

I was so shattered tho for what ever reason and I was really annoyed by this fact as I just wanted to get stuff done but mum could tell i needed to sleep for a bit and I was just gone within minutes

when I woke up me and mum put up christmas decorations, I did the tree and she put up all the trimmings i have made over the years as it meant going up and down on the chair and i didnt have the energy for that. But it all looks much more christmasy, I took some decorations for mine and jack's tree

Jack came to see me after school, we sat with a brew and sat with Oz

then we walked to the shops, I had no energy for it but i know i needed to do something otherwise id be major hurting tonight, besides the fresh air was wanted. Jack said I appeared a bit more brighter in myself and asked how I was doing, and when I actually thought about it, I realised I hadnt had any heart trouble for 2 days now!! thats such good news ^^ I honestly thought in the new year I would need to be medicated for my ectopic heartbeat but hopefully this is finally putting it's self right :D

we walked to the bungalow with stuff from the shop and the bits for our christmas tree. when we arrived i set about sorting our tree out, and it does look better ^^ I didnt have my phone on me so I will take a better photo of it tomorrow. I sat with Jack for a bit then I went home and cooked dinner for everyone as mum was out and I thought I would help so she had dinner ready for her when she came in. She had pre-made the meatballs before going out so I just had it all to cook. 

I did 20 mins of yoga afterwards as I was really really aching and worried about the night, I had no energy for it hence only 20 mins but i did feel better for it.

and now its 8:30pm and I will wash my face and maybe look at pictures to draw as I need to get back into my drawing. 

tomorrow

my mum is working 7 doors down from our bungalow so i am hitching a ride with her at 9am, i am going to paint the porch way for 2 hours then come home with mum then have a shower. I am only doing the 2 hours as it will certainly be enough. just do a bit each day. Might get mum to dye my hair its usual ginger colour, i wanted red but mum says i am far too pale for the red right now >< I am awful pale and pasty coloured. I look like a ghoul to be honest. 

Not sure what I will do after that. Might wait at the bungalow for Jack when he comes home as he has gaming at 6:30pm. He gave me a portion of soup to have for my lunch tomorrow ^^ He is looking forward to the weekend when we can spend a bit of time together.

finished spider picture

 Evening

Didn't sleep well again as mum yet again woke me up by screaming in her sleep

her night terrors did improve but i think theyre triggered by stress and i know she feels stressed by me being unwell off work and my impending moving out

so I ended up getting up at 12:30 for pain killers then went to bed at 1:20am

I still got up at 8:20am tho

This morning I had a shower and I finished the spider work for the house finally!

Basically when we got the house it had been empty 18  months and belonged to the many spiders than inhabited it. We had to get rid of so many ether by killing or exiling them. Jack's mum got me a joke present of a spider toy when we got the house. I have had the spider sat on my desk and I had the idea of doing some art with it - i asked jack's mum for her blessing on this and she said it was a great idea

usually people have a picture of a house or a key to say what day they got their house. Well i am weird and different so I went with a different approach as to how we remember the date of our house

Pretty weird huh XD but everyone has said how amazing it is, the photo doesnt do it justice. But Jack loves it which the main thing.

I looked online at stuff for the house as well

I also got my wrapping finished as well! So Jo is ready for christmas :3

just need to give those gifts out!

I had lunch with mum and we went for a walk

then I wanted to go to sleep but mum suggested we take Oz over to the bungalow and clean up a bit and take some more of my stuff over so thats what we did

Oz loves it X3 its cute seeing him run around

10mins after we arrived my brother came too, so we had my mums car on the drive and my brother's outside. Jack got dropped off by a fellow DT technician at school who lives a minute drive away! small world that it is! he was not expecting us all at the bungalow and with Ozwald XD

so we had biscuits and a brew with Jack then mum took Oz home as he had enough, he needed toilet and something to eat, im good at reading him :)

so I was with Jack, kept him company whilst he painted the freezer room which is done now.

I told him i had looked at stuff online and also, that if and when I move in next week, i have no desk or table to work at. So what will i do if i come over? so he measured up and we found a desk and chair online, I went home and ordered

new lighting for the porch/freezer room

new ottomen for the bedroom

new desk for me

new chair for me

=£220 -______- just eats my money T^T

but its exciting to get furniture :D

I decided I needed to chill out after that spendage so I did a face massage which lasted 20mins, cant believe how bumpy my skin was! my jaw cracked, and my face feels looser. Also i was able to have my hair up for the whole time without my scalp screaming at me :)

I still feel exhausted today but I feel brighter in myself, like more myself. So i will take that as a positive. 

Tomorrow I have a bit of sewing to do, only bits and pieces on clothing that needs repairing or altering. I am also getting out our christmas decorations so i can put them up but also take any stuff i want as a lot i have made and brought myself and mum says its fine to take them. So i can make my tree better hopefully! Jack might come to see me after school, i have dinner to make for the family too.

acquired a toaster

 Evening~

I couldnt sleep last night once again

So I got up for pain killers. Think it didnt help that i hadnt done any exercise :/

I got up at 8:20am this morning

and managed a hot chocolate for breakfast

I couldnt be bothered to do much but it was sunny and mild out - a rarity these days

so I forced myself to do a walk, and seeing as I had missed out on doing my usual hour walk yesterday, I decided to make up for it today. I grabbed my ipod and put my phone on charge and went for a walk

I got half way round and started aching, it was hurting to walk and it think its simply because i had walked round and stood round shops yesterday for 2 hours. It was hurting more and more to walk and i didnt have my phone on me. Mum was working round the corner til 11am and it was 10:30am. I decided to walk the house she was at, I knocked on the door, and she was there, wondering if i was ok. I said I was ok but struggling to walk and to get home would probably make me cry. She gave me her car keys and i waited the 15mins for her to finish. then she drove us home :)

I got back and I was so cold, so I had a brew and a hot shower

then I went with my brother to Aldi, as he told me that they were selling glass toasters for £20!

10 years ago when they first came out here they were like £250, for a toaster, yes

so as me and jack had agreed that we would invest in a toaster, i said I would go get it

so he drove me there and back. I got my toaster :) 

then I had the soup mum lovingly made ^^

I went to bed as I was exhausted yet again

woke up and went to the bungalow to have a brew with Jack as he was home, then I watched him paint the freezer room, then i decided I couldnt sit there any longer and decided to scrub all the dirt and mould off the back door (inside face) and it looks loads better and looks loads better where jack has painted also.

we had dinner which was stew he put on before work, it was bland but i told him how he can improve it for next time. 

we laid down after food then I left him at 7:40pm so he could have time for a shower and gaming

I have just come straight in to do my diary and sit with my Ozwald

Tomorrow

not sure yet what I will do during the day but I have a selection of ideas

like wrapping the last of my presents and maybe doing some drawing. I shall see. Just hope I sleep

when jack is home tho I will meet him at the bungalow whilst he just does another coat of paint then leave him to have his dinner.

had the house a month

 Evening

So yesterday I woke up late at 8:30am as I couldnt sleep

when I woke up my mum asked me if I could ring Jack and ask if dad could come over as he was keen to fix our toilet issue. So i did that and woke jack up ><

I went over to go and paint the freezer room to find that Jack was unhappy about my dad taking a blow torch to the wall at 8:45am to try dry some of the thicker plaster I had put on the wall the day before. I found jack hadnt prepped the room, there was still stuff in here, cob webs everywhere, dust sheets not down. All stuff he could have done the night before as he hadnt had to cook or anything

I started sanding down the plaster whilst dad busied himself with the toilet. I finished sanding the room, painted the ceiling, the whole time jack spent scrubbing a bit of mould off the wall he discovered he had missed....honestly he just takes so long to do anything. I had been here 2 hours and already achieved so much more than him. He was also being a total dick. He was being so grouchy and horrible, really not like him at all. I asked him if there was a reason he was being a dick and he just gave me flippant remarks which again is not like him. we dont have that sort of relationship

I then said "jack do you have a driving lesson today?"

he said "no i dont think so"

i said "oh cus your teacher is outside"

he looked out..."oh shit I do have a lesson!!!"

so he quickly got changed out of his painting clothes and ran out the door.

so I was left with mess and painting

i rang my mum and told her what had gone off. I tried to drink a brew but i was too wound up to drink it. Mum said to come home, leave it, and get some rest and lunch

i tried to eat some lunch but struggled and felt poorly to be honest. I had made myself physically and mentally poorly.

I didnt bother to contact jack. not after all that. being a dick and not even knowing when he had a driving lesson and I also told him id be over in the morning and i woke him up at 8:30am, what time was he planning on getting up?

me and mum went for a walk by the river to chill me out a bit, and i sat with Oz. I made a brew and jack txted me "we need to talk later"

i felt sick. like i had done something really wrong. I couldnt drink my drink

mum noticed my demeanour change and asked what was wrong and i told her

and she said "you havent done anything wrong, he probably just wants stuff right between you both but i do wonder if he is making you sick sometimes"

so i was a bit tearful as i couldnt handle it all. and went over to talk to him, crying all the way over to the bungalow. I went to the kitchen to find him putting pots away he saw me crying and we went to go talk stuff out.

we both just full on sobbed

no arguing

no shouting

just crying

i have seen jack cry twice since i have known him. but i have never seen him full on cry to the point were he can barely speak. It was awful seeing him that upset.

we basically work very differently and think very differently

i want the quickest easiest way as i am constantly short on energy, jack likes to think about things and maybe even put stuff off til he is certain he knows the best way to do it so the job is done right and not quick and easy. we have been battling each other without knowing really. but its because he doesnt talk to me, hes let stuff bottle up again and he bursts into tears cus he hasnt been communicating with me. he says i bulldoze through things, but i say its cus it looks like hes putting off doing jobs, i dont know its cus hes still thinking about them. I take it into my own hands and get on with it, and he doesnt like the way i do things. yeah we had it out. we need to talk more and i think we are at a point were we can slow down with the house. I have worked myself til i am corpse and off work, jack has worked himself to tears and he has had enough he is tired

we have been helped by my family so so much but also pushed by them. We wouldnt have done half as much if they hadnt pushed for it. Cus they wanted jack in the bungalow, then they want it right for me. and yeah its a lot. but we are grateful. but the help has come all from my family. all these friends and relatives of jack's that were keen to help, no one has actually come forward to help. his mum and step dad helped wallpaper and brought his stuff over that was it. thats all the help he has had. 

but we are getting there

the freezer room never got painted

we'd like it painted before friday when it arrives but i have told jack i have gone beyond caring now. I dont care. its not worth it. not if our relationship is now suffering as we havent done anything together for such a long time now.

i wasnt going to stay over last night with the way i was feeling, but i decided to come have dinner with my family with jack, stay over and then leave him alone all week. He told me not to stay away but yeah i am, i am giving him a break from me and house stuff.

we got back to the bungalow, i was beyond a corpse

we watched 2 episodes of inuyasha on the tv for the first time

then went to bed i was just done. we did feel better for clearing the air, think it just built up and up. jack seemed ok but i was god i just looked awful

this morning we got up at 8:30am

we both felt better after getting it off our chests and sleeping on it.

i cut his hair for him, we had showers, did the pots, had breakfast all that stuff

went to the shops for 2 hours -_____- jo was dead

he kept asking me if i was ok but i just wanted to get it done

so we got the food shop done then got a few bits from other shops

came home and had a cup of tea and a tea cake, we have decided to invest in a toaster, so we will look out for one! 

I went to bed as I could barely keep my eyes open and my body throbbed 

jack made his soup whilst I was asleep and then he woke me up as my brother was on the phone

he wanted to know if he could come over to look at the TV as we cant get aerial signal

I started putting up our pink christmas tree X3 there might be more to add to it when i get my family's decorations out

 then my brother came over to do the TV

so we supported him with that but he didnt have any luck, the way our house is wired up is just weird i have no idea who did it. then he sat with me and jack and talked

when he left, jack hoovered up and i wrapped 2 presents for him to take into school tomorrow

we tidied up the kitchen and moved stuff around

then made dinner then when we talked after dinner jack said he will try paint the freezer room after school and i said "but i thought we were gonna have this week off house stuff? i dont want you to be stressed and upset again cus youre tired of it all"

he said he would try and it would be ok, i offered to do it but he said he doesnt want me doing it :/ 

i feel so frustrated and not being able to do what i want to do.

missing out with everything

everyone at work gets christmas dinner on friday and i miss that! ><

i came home as jack was gonna go game with his friends

so i came and saw my Ozwald

packed my stuff away, doing my dairy and now gonna sit with Oz and again then go to bed.

I have got to stay home and rest now :/

its gonna suck but yeah i will have to get on with it i guess

jack will see me after school

here is our living room as i finally get round to taking some photos

It's a greedy bungalow

 Evening

I couldnt sleep last night, head was too noisy

so I got up for a bit then went to bed just before 1am

I dreamed of being a wolf, running with another wolf, through old abandoned lands. Rather good dream, probably because I'm 'feral' according to jack XD

I ended up waking up at 9am tho ><

I got up and ready tho and was ready to go out with mummy

we popped to a home store, I was exhausted the whole time tho

I still managed to spend a further £70 on the house tho -______- but it was all stuff I needed

we came back  and had a cup of tea and mum warmed me some soup up and I had that

then afterwards she asked what I wanted to do "I dont want to sleep I want to be grouchy all day"

instead she dragged me to the bungalow, were I filled in the hole in the wall, changed the bed and put more washing on, put pots away and entertained my bunny who came along for the ride X3 He enjoyed hopping round as per bloody usual

then we left and I had had enough and told mum to leave me alone

I stayed wrapped up in my bed to try and be warm.

then next thing I knew Jack had arrived ><

it was good to see him tho, and he told me about his day and he seemed tired.

I got him to drive us to Wilkos for some bits for the house, the ever greedy bungalow where he spent a further £75

 Mum asked me to cut Truffle's fur in the morning so I am sleeping here instead of the bungalow tonight, then I will go over to the bungalow and paint the porch room in preparation for the freezer

Jack stayed for dinner and then I took him home with all the bits and pieces from wilkos

I got back and tried to go on the internet but im just so god damn tired it hurts to look at a screen but mum had asked me to look for something for Jack for christmas from her -___- so I ordered him a t-shirt.

Tomorrow I am cutting truffle's ever growing dirty fur XD then going over to the bungalow to paint or at least keep jack company whilst he paints, it depends what I am able to do. Then I am not sure how the rest of the day will go. I know I am cutting his hair in the evening. Honestly im like a bloody hair dresser tomorrow! I think I am sleeping over there tomorrow anyway.

Hope I sleep tonight.
