All day yesterday I had an awful feeling of doom and gloom. I couldn't shake it and was feeling tearful. I went off to bed last night at about 11.15 but tossed and turned finally at 1.30 I got up and made myself some hot milk.
Back in bed I decided to read to try and tire myself out, finally at 3.30 I settled to sleep, so today I feel a little tired but the feeling has gone thank goodness. But what happened this afternoon made me shiver.
Okay last week I told you about the pile of ironing that I had accumulated over the past few weeks. I told you that it had moved to the ironing table in the craft room.
Well, today I have actually gotten around to ironing it haha. It feels like an accomplishment I have to say.
Now it wasn't my intention to iron today, oh know, I would rather have watched paint dry haha but I had other fish to fry namely begin the make over of my bedroom.
Over the last few weeks I have been collecting the materials so that the room will be co-ordinated. The new lampshades being the last piece of the jigsaw which arrived today.
Having read the instructions on the wallpaper I realised that I could paste the wall which is so much easier and not as messy. However, on searching in the decorators box in the garage I soon realised that I didn't have any rollers.
I remembered that on Friday, in Aldi, the mother unit had been investigating a tray full of rollers and paint brushes, don't ask haha, so I decided that I would make a quick trip to buy some. Whilst I was there 2 rather nice hydrangea bushes fell into trolley also. A lovely white one and a deep pink one, I will get the gardener to plant them tomorrow.
So back home and I took the before pictures of the bedroom and then tried to move the bed so that I could get behind it to strip the wall. Well I have to say I am no shrinking violet when it comes to moving heavy stuff but the chrome bedstead complete with its huge dense mattress stumped me I couldn't move it an inch, I will have to wait until I can get some help.
So here is the current scheme and a close up of the wallpaper. It was my intention to have it all changed over to be able to show you on the blog that is until I couldn't move the bed.
HENCE THE REASON I WAS IRONING HAHA.
Had a minor cat-arsed-trophy, this afternoon, I deposited my phone down the toilet, it had been in my back pocket. I retrieved it quickly and so far it is okay with no permanent damage, lucky or what.
The mother unit gave us all a fright this afternoon. As you know I have mum here on Mondays and Tuesday for her tea, so I would not see her today until 5 o'clock. However Sue and Jeff went around at 1 o'clock and all the blinds in the bungalow were still shut. Sue apprehensively peaked through the front door and saw mum still in bed. She knocked a few times fearing the worst before mum eventually stirred. She was fast a sleep and had been since last night. She hadn't taken any of her medication today, so all in all a bit of a fright, and a bit worrying. I will be making an appointment with her doctor tomorrow as soon as they open.
