In that cupboard for hours

 Evening

I managed - somehow - an hour of exercise again last night, it was a slog. Just wasn't feeling it

I enjoyed my bath and massager tho X3 and a new tea - orange and camomile its really good!

I slept ok too, I woke up needing a big wee tho XD

Climbed into bed to wake Jack up and was pouncing all over him, he said "what time is it?" he looked up at the clock, I did too....only 6:30am...I buried my head. He said "is that really the time!?" 

I said "sorry sorry jack, I didnt realise, I will let you sleep" and went with my tail between my legs and left the bedroom. I had got to go see Oz tho as usually its Jack who lets Oz out. I had breakfast in peace and then woke Jack up at 8am

I got started on painting at 9am T^T I've been in that room almost a week!!!

I was doing the white work whilst jack painted the walls in the cupboard. 

We stopped at 11am for a cup of tea. I looked online for lighting - again - for the room. Found one I liked, Jack said he was ok with it but wanted me to ok it with dad - fitting wise.

We had lunch then Jack went to game, I went to paint. And thats where I stayed for almost 3 hours......

3 long long hours under the stairs.....I have a headache from the gloss fumes.

But it is done. However I think some of the white work in the room may need another coat -____-

I came out and dad rang, he said the lighting was fine, so I ordered that. never paid so much for light £120.....eye watering. But I need good lighting for my craft room other wise whats the point. Still cheaper than paying someone to put spots in then paying for spots.

Mum came over at 4pm and jack breaked off to have a brew with us and made us tea too which was nice of him. He stayed with us whilst mum was over. I sat talking the whole time with paint on my face and up my arms. I scrubbed my hands raw but didnt fancy scrubbing everywhere else til I was soaking in the bath. My hands got sore but gloss does not come off.

We had dinner and watched the last episode of season 1 of digimon, bring on season 2! cant remember ether of them! made a change to watch tho.

Then jack had a little bit of stress at me as he saw the state of the kitchen sink....so much paint and mess....he only cleaned that sink the start of the week >< I was sorry 

He went to go play dungeons and dragons. I watched some interesting youtube videos like a japanese mom (kimono mom) found it randomly and i quite liked it. Oz was inside with me and I was fussing him and making him dens and giving him treats. Happy boy. I decided to make Jack an alcoholic drink to say I was sorry, so I mixed a gin and rum together and put lemonade and frozen cherry berries in it and gave it to him. He was grateful but said he wasnt mad or anything. the sink just needed scrubbing ^^; but i hope he likes his drink, god knows what it tastes like

now I must do my exercises as its almost 9pm and I havent done them! getting later and later with doing them but its cus I can not be bothered!! I am tired >< I am having an easier day - exercise wise tomorrow >.> 

Tomorrow 

it is weekly weigh in - get to try my new scales see if they even work!

do a bit more in the craft room i guess and anything else I wanna do

right I shall crack on then go and wash my face!

clearing out the craft room cobwebs

 Evening

I was quite reluctant to do my exercises last night, I was tired and had just had enough!

But I managed an hour, Chloe Ting had bought out a new exercise video which was 20mins long and I couldnt resist the challenge basically. I managed 60mins of exercise once again without stopping, I did get through 2 litres of water tho XD I had a bath and stuff

we got into bed just before 11pm I told jack I was aching, it was 1am and I couldnt sleep still, so I got up and Jack got up with me, made me a hot chocolate - so that was more liquid!

I didnt sleep great and woke up at 4am to jack breathing in my ear, I had to go to the toilet for a wee tho which is no surprise but when I got to bed he had crawled over to my side so I didnt have much space >< but all well I was destined to have a bad night. Got up at 8:20am. I would sleep in longer if it wasnt for Ozwald. Jack said he didnt sleep great ether

So this morning we cracked on with the craft which did in fact need a 3rd coat -____- jack did that whilst I had the rather grim task of getting rid of live spider, dead spiders and dead flies, cobwebs from the cupboard under the stairs....it was so gross. I cleaned it all and then realised just how bad it looked in there, so I ended up patching up a load of cracks which was everywhere basically. Then I painted the front and inside of the door which needed 3 coats all in all. I also painted the little bunnies going on the front of the door and inside of the door :3 its going to look so different!

jack helped me make my soup for the week after we had a pit stop brew at 11am

we had lunch, then kept going with the room

Mum came over at 3:30pm but jack had gone to game at this point, i still made him a cup of tea as I didnt want him to feel left out.

Mum bought over a load of parcels for me! I got my curtain pole and curtains. Oz's treats and tunnels. My new scales which I will have a go with on saturday morning, gonna get Jack to have a go too. so yeah a fair few things I told her more tat is on the way! We also got our outdoor seat cushions which are quite cute. Jack is pleased with them.

Mum left and I made a start on dinner whilst cleaning up the craft room, I told jack there was 5mins til dinner, he didnt even realise - or smell - that dinner was on. He said he would have helped but it was simple and didnt want to disturb him.

After dinner I bought Oz in, hes enjoyed playing with his new toys I have to say ^^ although he hasnt been out too much today as it is rather windy. He is currently snoring in front of me, his little mouth goes in his sleep its so cute. Tired bunny obviously >.>

I have not taken extra pain killers today or had a sleep as I want to get back into the normal pattern again, taking extra pain killers and having a sleep in the day isnt doing me any favours. I just hope its worth it and I sleep tonight as I am bloody tired!

Tomorrow

it is the white work of the craft room so the door frame and such, the inside of the cupboard needs doing so I need to sand down where I filled in today then paint....ahhhh so much to do yet! But its a project I guess. Jack says he will put up the curtain pole whenever. It will get there. I am still stuck for lighting in there. i did find some unusual shelves today from germany, wasnt cheap but I think they will look great ^^

It's a blue room

 Evening

I managed another straight hour of exercise last night, was quite sweaty when I had finished, had to peal my clothes off me! I had a bath then watched inuasha with jack 

I just about slept but I was aching and woke up a few times to try and get comfy again.

Woke up at 7:30am and woke jack up as I knew we had to go food shopping we managed to get off for about 8:30am and I knew my mum was going food shopping and we did actually bump into her a couple of times, and we were at the same checkout as her, right behind her so I helped her with her packing and gave her cuddles and it was good to be with her, she said it made shopping feel less of a chore for her which i was happy about.

We got back and unpacked and then we got straight into painting it was about 10am by this point. I was doing all the cutting in and jack was painting the walls with his big roller he bought the other day which he is happy using. I was finding it tough going and it was hurting my shoulder and arm. jack kept telling me to take breaks and not to do myself in but I wanted to pull my weight. Eventually I said I had had enough and went for a break and jack had just about finished the first coat this was at 11:30am so we had a break and a cup of tea with Oz then we had lunch, I once again dosed up on painkillers like I have done for the last few days and once again it made me want to sleep but I didnt want to give in I wanted to paint with jack but he told me to rest. I woke up and found he had finished all my cutting in job and done a 2nd coat! the room looks so different and so blue! I love it! We are going to see what it looks like tomorrow if it needs a 3rd coat I am hoping it doesnt but the blue is really patchy but we shall see.

We cleared away and had a rest, I let Oz see his new toy but he was not bothered in the slightest!!! such a spoilt git. We put him and the fort outside but he checked it out and that was it not seen him in or on it yet.

I went on my laptop for a bit and looked at lighting for my craft room, I ordered a hair massager thing and another ampoule to try. 

The picnic blanket came today it is padded, soft and big. I look forward to basking in the sunlight in the garden with it. Of course I am sure Oz will come on it too as hes just that nosy 

He is currently having a wash in his hay basket. Why he choses to wash in such a cramped place I have no idea, hes getting ready for his bed time. I will take him to bed soon and then do my exercises I guess.

Tomorrow

depending on how the walls look we might need to do a 3rd coat, but if not it will be the white wood work in the room and I also have the cupboard under the stairs to do >< That is a big job as its like 2m by 60cm so I have the walls so do in there, the door itself and then the stairs as they have never been done before, and the shelving in there. Its all so dingy in there I just want it to be bright and nice so I will actually want to use it as storage and not run away from it XD

Also my mum says she will come and visit for a brew :) 

craft room ceiling done~

 Evening

So last night I tried Chloe Ting's new exercise video which was for upper body - an area I dont tend to work on as I always have knots and pain there but thought as it was only 10-15mins I would try it. 

Not doing that again! It hurt >< it was difficult but it also wound my fibromylgia up. So it wasnt worth it. I managed an hour of exercise tho and felt better for doing it.

I struggled to sleep as I had a nap in the afternoon, I also kept waking up as I was in pain, simply from those upper body exercises. It so was not worth it.

This morning I couldnt wait for my pain killers!

We sorted the craft room out and took stuff to the garage and moved stuff outside into the hall so we could sand down and paint the ceiling. I hate sanding down but had to be done.

Then we did the ceiling. I had had enough by this point. It was 11am, we had a brew with Oz and Jack started making his new toy up, took him like an hour. Oz was very interested and tried to help -___-

of course jack couldnt help but ask "so where would you like me to erect it?" -______- men....

I fell asleep on the sofa and woke up for lunch XD after lunch we gave the ceiling a second coat and I started painted Oz's new toy as it will live outside and I had fence paint so just did it in that, its currently drying so he can play with it tomorrow X3

jack said he would like to have got a coat of blue up today but didnt want to wear me out then he said we had 2 weeks off so not to rush it. I was kinda relieved as I was done. I went to bed.

When I got up I started painting the rest of Oz's new toy as I had painted the legs and base earlier then mum came over for a brew, she was very impressed with the craft room. When she left we had dinner. We watched digimon, we have been watching 1 episode a night and we are now on the last 3 episodes of season 1!

I bought Oz in after I had finished dying of stomach ache on the bed. He is fine, he was happy bunny he now laid out asleep on my carpet. Obviously had a hard day >.> I have been online looking at t-shirts for jack and pen pots for me nothing exciting. I helped Jack earlier choose some stuff of amazon, new cushions for the metal chairs outside, not that I will ever sit on them as I hate sitting in chairs especially outdoor ones theyre the worse. So hes bought me an extra padded large picnic blanket its like 2m x 3m! so that is amazing ^^ They should come during the holidays so we can make the most of sitting out.

I will put Oz away and do my exercises, he came out for a late night sit at 9:45pm last night but I think its too late for him and threw him out of his routine so I wont do that again. I know not to do that exercise video again. Besides I have other areas that I need to tone up and strengthen like my legs, glutes, and hips

Tomorrow~

finally getting some colour on those walls!!!

We have mice

 Evening

I managed another hour straight of exercising~

I had a quick bath and watched Inuyasha with Jack, he was glad he had skipped gaming and had gamed with theo instead. I was glad he had relaxed after a whole day of wallpapering.

I slept like the dead, having vivid dreams. Finding an old friend of mine (no longer talking to in real life) asking her to remember me as a child, how I used to be before I started slowly turning into a wolf like creature. Dreams are strange.

We woke up at 8:45am! I cant remember the last time we had such a lay in!

So after breakfast we put the last piece of wallpaper up! success and it looks so much better too

We decided to go out to the shops and picked up a fair bit like a new hose pipe

we got back home at midday and before we sat down we got our chores out the way. Jack's was cleaning the whole house and mine was cleaning the bathroom. We finished at the same sort of time. Then had lunch together. I went over to mum's for 1:30pm. Had a cup of tea with her then dad came home, I sat with the guineas which was nice but made my eyes itchy and watery and my chest tight so I decided to go home for eye drops and inhaler. Mum gave me my delivery of the day - Oz's wooden play thing, Jack calls it Oz's fortress. It needs assembling tho. I came home and sorted my eyes our and got the inhaler. I checked Oz. I walked into the garage and packaging blew across the floor. Packaging from 3 bird fat balls....which had fallen off the unit. So I went storming into the house and told jack "I think I know why Oz had stomach ache the other day! 3 fat balls have fallen to the floor and he's eaten them!!" so that made me feel sick as I had no idea how Oz was still alive after that. Its fat and seed.

I went to sleep for a bit as I was exhausted, then I got up and sorted out my nail varnish out as I brought 4 new ones which mum gave me today, I have thrown out half my nail varnishes! Some have gone off, some destroy my nails, some I have no idea why i still have!

I did dinner and whilst it cooked I went outside, I put a large bird feeder in the ground which came with the house, I stabbed it into the middle of our lawn, I also wedged some of the fence panels as god they do my head in when its windy. 

After dinner I bought Oz inside but he was so hungry as he's been outside all day ether laying, sunning himself or eating the grass. He hast been home for any of his food. So I took him home after half hour as I kept passing him treats but it wasnt enough he was hungry. When I took him home I turned to give him his popcorn - which was on the same unit at the fat balls used to be, they normally live on top of his cage but I moved them yesterday when I cleaned his cage out. The packet was empty.....So I looked around and felt like something might jump out at me so I went inside to get Jack.

We had a look round. The peanuts on top of the unit had a tiny hole chewed in it. The unit has a small hole in the corner at the bottom with a traffic walk way. I spotted all this and said "think we have mice" so I was relieved to find out that Oz hadnt eaten the fat balls, the mice had. But Oz has no more popcorn!!!! I said "will Oz be ok?" jack said "he will be fine as hes so much bigger than them, lets take the food away and see if they go away" I am hoping this plan works as I do not want to kill them. Our garage backs onto a public footpath with trees and hedging, bushes you name it - so wildlife like this is gonna happen time to time.  But I am glad Oz is ok. Thats the main thing. 

It's weird you know as the other day I took Oz home and I felt like something fell off the unit but only something brown caught my eye when I turned round. I looked round but couldnt see anything. Im wondering if that was a mouse leaping down off the unit, startled as I had walked in. It was probably eating the fat balls then!

I ordered more popcorn - priorities 

I will do my exercises and might get Oz in for a quick evening sit as he didnt get long earlier. Not sure how long I will exercise for tonight. See how I feel. Not eaten much today so I wont push it.

Tomorrow

we are gonna clean away all the wallpapering stuff from the craft room, sand down all the woodwork, paint the ceiling and Jack says he will build Oz's fortress. 

Jack has been gaming with Theo since 1:30pm XD hes having a gaming day and I am just letting him get on with it, make the most of Theo having the day off.

I will crack the whip tomorrow XD

Another easter in lockdown

 Evening

So last night I did in fact manage 1 hour of exercise~~ go me~~ I was a mess afterwards but I was ok, I could still walk and wasnt even that out of breath - much to my surprise!

I had a hot hot bath afterwards which did make me out of breath however XD I put a sheet mask on to calm my red face and laid on the floor with the massager on my calves and behind my thighs as I feel it helps get rid of any knots I might have added to whilst exercising or at least help shift the lactic acid.

I slept like the dead, dreaming of being a pirate and fighting other pirates, pirate dreams have been a common dream for me since my teens. However I dont watch anything to do with pirates so I am unsure why I dream of it so often. Previous life maybe? XD

It is easter today. Another easter in lockdown which I am happy and sad about. I am happy because it means all those stupid people out there who buy a bunny for easter cant. But sad because all the shops have bunny things for sale and bunny decorations and I have missed seeing that again!!!

This morning I woke up at 7:30am and we got up as we have to let Oz out. After breakfast I asked Jack what he wanted to do and he said he wanted to crack on. So by 9am we had begun the wallpapering process. Luckily I did not die on the toilet today! I come to expect it now that I have that to do at some point in the morning or evening. Bad when it becomes routine, so it was nice to not have to do that this morning, I did have milk yesterday so god knows what it is what actually upsets me.

We spent up to lunch time in the craft room, it is looking so good and Jack is so good and patient, I am always impressed at his problem solving skills. 

We had lunch the continued on. I kept topping Jack up with chocolate/sweets and tea.

We had 1 last piece to do but realised the new plug socket has a chunk of wall missing under it. It needs to be filled and takes several hours for the filler to set. So he thought about it, and considered papering anyway but said it would be noticeable and he would know its there. So he filled the wall and said we would do the final piece tomorrow morning. But the room already looks transformed, the walls were so bad in there, loads of marks and fine cracks. the wallpaper hides so many sins! 

We packed up at 4pm and I offered to cut jack's hair before he showered. that was the last thought I had as I fell asleep for 45mins on the bed in dressing gown. I was exhausted. But didnt realise I fell asleep I just opened my eyes to see jack putting on pyjamas, I was like "what you doing? you showered?" he said "yeah you just dropped off so I showered" XD woops

Whilst dinner was cooking I sat in the evening sun with Oz as we havent had him in today but we did keep going out to him to make sure he was ok. I cleaned him out as well today which of course he enjoyed. He is in with me now, laying down with hiccups which is so damn cute.

I will do my exercises when my dinner has gone down more. I dont want to do them late, keep having late nights as I ether die on the toilet before I exercise or I have been doing longer than planned routines.

tomorrow

we are finishing papering then popping to the local town for a few bits, nothing much I just want to get out for a bit as we cant paint the walls as they need to dry. We will come back and I might go see mum then have lunch with Jack. He is then I think going to have a gaming day with harvey and theo. He asked if he could and I said it was fine. Not like we can go anywhere or do anything. its his holiday too and we cant continue with the craft room so yeah I will let him do that. But that is all really, so a bit of a rest day

He usually games on a sunday night but he has actually told his group he doesnt want to play!!! my god!!! dont know whats up with him. He has recently this week downloaded a new game called Valheim he is enjoying and got harvey and theo to buy it and join too. He says he wants a more sedate night and wants to play that. So yeah quite surprised but letting him get on with it. 

We didnt buy each other anything for easter, we have an easter somewhere to share but waiting til i am off my diet. Dont need anything for easter really as we have our own easter bunbun - Oz :3

Starting transforming the craft room!!

 Evening

Well last night I certainly outdid myself, I exercised for 70mins straight ;D God knows how!!!

I just kept going without stopping, I mean I was dripping and I had steamed up fully both patio doors 0.0 I was quite tired afterwards but I was worried about not sleeping as I had literally done nothing all day. So when I finally finished and got in the bath it had reached 10pm!! Poor jack ended up waiting for me XD

I got ready for bed but couldnt sleep, got up at 12:15 and went to bed at 1:30am, still took me a while to sleep as I just couldnt drop off but I slept through til 8am.

This morning I didnt ache how I thought I would from doing so much exercise. I did my morning weigh in...I have lost another 700g 0.0 I am unsure how as I really thought I would have put on last week's weight to be honest. So that takes me to i think it was 62.8kg I am getting closer to that 50'skg mark! 

We had breakfast with Oz then prepped the craft room for its transformation!! To say Jack hasnt really had much experience with hanging wallpaper he did amazingly! I was so impressed with his skill and problem solving he was just so calm and patient.

It got to 11:30am and we called a tea break. To be honest it was hurting me to stand. I had been stood too long despite me doing almost nothing I feel like I did very little but moral support in wallpaper hanging. Jack says otherwise tho. So after tea break we made my fish soup then had lunch. I had Oz in with us whilst eating, I was rather annoyed to find he had peed in the tent....so that went in the washer and i had to clean the carpet, it was a massive wee and carrot stained one at that!!! Then we got back to work. 

Jack's family turned up, his mum had txt to say she was going to stop by. But they stayed for like 2 hours in our garden which was really nice, we had a cup of tea and a catch up. The weather turned warm too actually. I struggled to sit outside tho so kept walking around to fuss Oz, Oz who was very much showing off, he was going to everyone for fuss. he has never met any of Jack's family but was totally at home with them all. Honestly he knows how to play the cute card >.>

His mum gave Jack easter eggs and me a little something in a bag for tomorrow as she said 'jack said you cant eat a lot right now so I got you a little something' I told her that it was really thoughtful of her and she bought me some flowers too :) 

Once they left we got back to work, it was 4pm but we still had loads of paste left to use and didnt want to waste it. I left Jack finishing up and went to do dinner, typically on a day where I had been standing up and then sat outside I had to then stand and cook T^T my legs were killing me. 

We had dinner and then I sat with the massager on my legs to help ease the aching.

I got Oz in who is still full of beans! I thought he would be tired after all that action earlier! I am exhausted! but finally he laid down with his legs kicked out. I will go take him to bed soon and crack on with my exercises. Not sure how many exercises I will do tonight see how I feel.

tomorrow

I said I will see my mum at some point and have a sow sit with her and a cup of tea. But I think on the whole we will probably be hanging wallpaper.
