Call me crazy, but I’m really looking forward to going back to work on Monday. I’m sure I’ll change my mind on Monday morning at 5:30am when I’m supposed to get my butt out of bed, but right now, I can’t wait.
I’ve been on leave for a whole week and I’m bored stiff. There’s not a hell of a lot to do around my tiny home, but I’ve done all that I can – laundry, ironing, cleaning, dishes, changed the linen (the bane of my existence) and spent about an hour cleaning Baylea’s bird cage yesterday after I took her to the vet to have her winged clipped. I’ve been grocery shopping, made muffin mixture (yum) ,so that I could have muffins for breakfast this morning, and spaghetti bolognaise for dinner last night.
I’ve slept late, watched TV (well, actually DVDs), downloaded eBooks for my new ereader, cross-stitched and read books.
I’ve trolled the Net and there’s a basket on Amazon that I’m very tempted to order for my sister to bring back with her when she visits England
And now I’m bored as hell.
I’ve spent so much time in bed (reading – get your mind out of the gutter!) that by Tuesday I had developed lower back ache, but I’m starting to wonder if there’s more to it than that – I can’t seem to get rid of it. Nothing I do seems to make any difference, except Myprodols, but I don’t want to become reliant on those little babies.
I’ve got a bit of work to do before Monday, which I'll do this evening. In the meantime, I’m gonna see about going to the movies and possibly taking my new ereader out for coffee. But I’ll do that tomorrow. I’m in my PJs (God bless the person who invented the pyjamas) and have little inclination to get dressed. Also gonna swallow more Infludo (now sold under the name Gripless, after pharmacies stopped importing the stuff from Weleda, or some such story) in an attempt to avoid what I suspect is a throat infection.
Happy New Year – hope it’s a wonderful year for you.
PS: For those of you who were wondering who Baylea is, here's a photo. She's a Ruppells Parrot.
