Chickafinty ~ A Life in the Laundry

Alone

Mister Bear is in hospital tonight undergoing a sleep study to determine if he's got sleep aponea.  On the one hand I am sad and lonely and anticipating a cold, lonely bedtime (it's going to get down to 0 tonight...32F), ut on the other hand, this may spell the end of this period of illness.  He's looking forward to being normal again and so long as it doesn't sound selfish, so I am.

Bulleted

• Chickabid's hearing is shot at the moment and I have to consciously stop myself from getting impatient with him.  It's not his fault; he just can't hear.  Appointment with the ENT specialist is on the 16th August and it can't come soon enough.
• I am my own worst enemy.  Officially.
• I am not ready for the block which is going to begin tomorrow.  Nothing I can do about it though.
• There may possibly be a more disorganised person on the planet than me, but I doubt it.
• Mister Bear has now been horizontal for 4 months.  Read it people:  FOUR months.

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming

I fell asleep sitting up on the lounge last night about 7.15, with Ladybaby in my lap and she fell asleep too...Mister Bear woke me up at about twenty past eight and suggested that I go to bed.  That seemed like a good idea :)  Didn't get to tidy up in the kitchen last night, but it actually wasn't too bad.  Have a day off today so I am going to use it to get sorted.

Five and a quarter hours

Began Book 7 at about 7pm and closed it at the last page at 12.17am.  Five and a quarter hours of the most incrediblly exciting book I think I have ever read.  It took at least an hour for the adrenline rush to subside so I could sleep.

Everything else is under the cut so as to prevent spoilers.

You have been warned.

I want a refund

The Harry Potter widget countdown thingie is wrong!  It's telling me there is one hour to go, but it is actually 10 and a half.

I want my money back.

Thursday Thirteen

1. It's only two sleeps until Harry Potter Book 7.
2. That date has been circled in red on the calendar for months and has been booked for months as a day when Mizbear gets to sit in the rocking chair and read the final instalment until it's finished.
3. I am not going to be reading HP#7 on Saturday.  Some things are just waaaaay more important and my heart is committed elsewhere come Saturday.
4. Chickabid got an excursion note on Tuesday and it was paid for today, BUT the excursion's not for another whole month.  I think there should be a prize for this.
5. I am mopping the kitchen and family room floors today.  That shouldn't be worth mentioning on a Thursday 13, but you haven't seen my floors lately.
6. Mister Bear's parents are on their way home from their trip.
7. There is a 98% chance that, when Mister Bear gets well, I am going to resign as a full time teacher and work solely as a casual.
8. Ladybaby is having her first afternoon nap in about 12 months this asfternoon.  She desperately needs it.
9. Mister Bear is recovering from bronchitis.  At last.
10. Mister Bear ticks all the boxes for sleep aponea and has a sleep study booked for Monday week.
11. If he has sleep aponea he's probably going to have to use a CPAP machine for the rest of his life.  I get to sleep with Darth Vader.
12. I haven't yet managed to stay awake through all of Star Wars Episode II since seeing it at the movies.  It's the best, non-drug cure for insomnia that I know.
13. Made it to Thirteen, even though I had nothing much to say.
