Looking Forward

Posted in Family, Garden, Home, Magic Cottage, Separation on November 27, 2008 | 4 Comments »

Next Friday! Next Friday!!! Keys day!! Hahaaa!
I am immoderately happy about this. It’s not because I want to ‘get away’ or anything like that. But this house has never really liked me and now it actively wants me gone. I don’t know if anyone else gets this feeling, or has had this feeling, regarding anywhere [...]

New Horizon

Posted in Family, Happiness, Home, Kids, Separation on November 16, 2008 | 4 Comments »

After much discussion and tapping of calculators, D and I have worked out that we can afford the rent on a little place which means that… one of us can move out.
He was going to, but I actually asked if it could be me instead. I feel very much indeed that I need alone time [...]

Yet another sleepless night. Went to bed at 9pm, woke up at three and there we are. Mouse got up at 5.30am and the day began.
I feel better about it in a way now I’ve started on the antidepressants. More relaxed. No less tired, but that’s to be expected! Hey ho, back to the Doc’s [...]

Lurking and Laughing

Posted in Countryside, Family, Food, Lurking, Weather on November 3, 2008 | 2 Comments »

We spent yesterday afternoon and early evening in the sitting room with the Mouse, laughing immoderately at all his funny doings and playing rough-house games. It was far too cold to go outside but it didn’t matter; we’d had all the fresh air we needed up at the woods, and all the exercise! Despite putting [...]

Perished!

Posted in ...everything else! on November 2, 2008 | 3 Comments »

Had to get an electric blanket yesterday – I got to about 4pm and then realised that I was freezing already sitting next to the radiator wearing all my clothes, and that for the past three nights I’d gone to bed dressed like a tramp in pj bottoms, hoody and fleece. And a hat, for [...]
