living the home body life....

what a lovely day i've had today :-)

  • washing done
  • ironing done
  • slow cooked a pumpkin and ginger (and damn hot chilli) soup
  • dishwasher done and put away
  • baked a double recipe batch of butterscotch shortbread rosettes
  • the garage hinge door was hung
  • the painter came around and booked me in on saturday for the doors to be painted
  • let the girls go for a run around the house for the day
  • sorted some emails and paperworks

it was so cute at one stage i was in the computer room dealing with things in there and i could hear black calling out for me at the sliding door to the kitchen lol so i walked down the hall and looked out the door and there they were, both black and tails standing at the door lol cute buggers - i think they could smell the soup cooking and might've wanted a taste hehehe

the guy that came to do the door hanging turned up around 8.30am..... and damn he loved a good chat.... well he just seemed to want to tell someone his life story.... half hour later he managed to let me go and started work lol

he finished when i was in the middle of baking the second batch of cookies so i was worried they were going to burn cause he wanted to talk some more lol

mum called and mentioned that dad had also suggested that i should work 2 jobs or take unpaid time off from my current job to try out the other one just in case it doesn't work out.... it's good in theory but i don't think either option would work, given i've just had 3 weeks off so wouldn't be likely able to have more time off even if it was unpaid, and i certainly wasn't going to work 2 jobs cause i'd never get a day off.....

i understand their concern, but it's a bit of a hindrance to hear it..... bit like the "don't go and tell everyone you're gay" speech the day before we went overseas.....

it's either one way or the other.... and i'm going one way, i'm just going to do the best i can with it and try to pay off as much of bills, the credit card and mortgage as i possibly can, so if in the unlikely event the business folds or i lose my job for some reason, then i'm in a good position with my bills.... bit like the last time it happened at denon and i was ahead by 2-3 months on the mortgage.....

finally had a bit of rain this afternoon so that was nice.... gives the plants some water to drink... i'm hoping all the veggies grow up nicely without issues of birds trying to eat them while they are growing up.....

so the last week of work at the current job starts tomorrow.... have to remember to pickup paul on the way in.....

been finding it difficult to get back into my bullets for breakfast.... i think it's the mentality that when the weather is colder, i don't really feel a need to drink a cool beverage when i get up in the morning as compared to summer when i can guzzle bucket loads of water and water based drinks.....

similar to salads in the winter time, they don't appetise me quite as much as they do in summer months...

and i need a haircut..... i should do it this weekend perhaps.....
