Losing my mind, my glasses, the will to live...

Sitting here in my notoriously dark and dingy dining rom in my prescription sunglasses writing this as I can't put my hand to 3, that's right, THREE pairs of specs! What is wrong with me? (No answers, it was rhetorical)...eating peaches that according to the tin are 6 years out of date but taste just fine...Just another average day,then.
Have moved everything from the lounge that shouldn't be there - how does it all creep in there anyway - numerous magazines, colouring pencils, sets of scriptures, little toys( I know how they got there), DVDs that I keep removing to the attic, packs of wet wipes.. the list is endless and wondrous - now it's all piled up in the dining room - lounge is off limits!
Garden is looking peachy - my home teacher rang this morning and just said 'I know that garden's stressing you, let me come and do it for you'... and so he did.
The lists don't seem to get shorter but it is satisfying to cross things off them.
Other whirlwinds have calmed down and I'm grateful to know that I can leave knowing Tom has made good choices and my mum is in good hands with him.
Everyone on the Fulbright seems to be having different stresses - seems some insurance companies are happy to insure cars, houses, etc and others aren't - I'm off to see a KA this evening up in the Wye Valley so will be a lovely drive even if the car is rubbish... Paul also tipped me off about a couple of cars he has seen for sale just down the road on Whitchurch Common - I must walk by there dozens of times and haven't even noticed the cars for sale!
Took the book the kids in my class made for me to show Jo last night and read through it again -is it a compliment to be told 'you look at least 39'??? not sure - but were beautiful sentiments in there altho I may have told them too often they were the best class ever! (but they were!)
Well, going to tackle the kitchen floor and make that out of bounds as well - will have to eat out more... have the most random array of food left in the cupboards anyway...

  1. Could have written this myself. Different odd foods in the kitchen; lists that never seem to end; getting distracted by old photos, cards, letters; shredding piles of papers - it will all come to a halt and we'll actually be doing it soon, instead of just anticipating...
