Just Nicky

So farking tired September 2, 2006

I was up relatively early this morning, simply because I was awake. I didn’t want to be, but I was.

I had a rush of blood to the head while Mark and Finn were still sleeping and took the covers off the blue couch’s cushions and washed them. The grand plan was to make the most of the warm day and take to the rest of the couch with the steam cleaner.

We took Finn to the doctor (just to be sure) and did some bits and pieces of necessary shopping. When we got home Finn and Mark headed off for sleeps. I was going to do the same, but after waiting ages for Finn to stop demolishing his room and settle down, I decided that I was too restless to snooze, so I headed out into the garden to take care of some little jobs.

I cleaned up various kinds of poo, turned over compost, fed the plants with seaweed concentrate and put bird netting over my vegies. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but it felt like it and I’m stuffed.

I’ve brought the cushion covers in off the line but haven’t gone anywhere near the couch with the steam cleaner. It’s not going to happen today, so I’ll have to wrestle the covers back onto the cushions and leave the rest of the job for another day. There’ll be another warm day soon enough, I’m sure.

I have my fingers crossed that everyone sleeps through tonight and we can start tomorrow rested and ready to face my family for Rhonda’s birthday afternoon tea.
