Ironically the thing that I should be saying the most about being moved out of home is the very reason I have not been blogging:
Being independent is very time consuming!
My average day runs like this:
- alarm goes off
- I oversleep
- I throw some clothes on, some toast in my mouth and a cheese sarmie and some fruit into my lunch bag and rush out the door.
- Decelerate slamming the door while checking I have my house keys and car keys - because if I lock my house keys inside the house... I am screwed.
- Drive to work - this takes anything between 35 minutes and 90 minutes. (I usually check email in the heavy sections of traffic and give people the impression I am already at work ... genius!)
- The next 8-ish hours - Do Work
- Travel home from work usually after rush hour
- Stop off at the shops for groceries/cravings/whimsy-s
- Go home
- Unpack goods/bags/tight shoes
- Cook dinner
- Eat dinner
- Wash up after dinner
- Clean kitchen floor after the wash up
By this time it is usually going on 9 or 10pm and I am exhausted (and probably soggy - I am a very enthusiastic dish washer.)
And as I start most mornings with a deep regret of sleeping late, this time of night is not really a good time for starting new activities. Usually I wander about my little palace tidying up random things and debating whether to watch another episode of House/Dexter/Bleach or to read a book. I am ashamed to admit that teh book doesn't win that arguement very easily.
And then as teh rest of the evening flies away, I make acquaintance with some soap; check all the doors are locked; switch off the lights and love my pillow.
And all this is teh quiet days. Some days I fit in a Brownies meeting between work and home and other days I fit in Bible Study in a similar time slot.
so in general I am finding all this cooking and cleaning and tidying and making homing gets very very busy and is very time consuming...
don't even get me started on weekends....
