I was reading back through my blog (there's an exercise in emotional masochism) and discovered I've actually named Mike's wife before - Therese - so I'll attempt to remember that from now on.
Edit: I've been thinking about it and I'm updating my signature to include Mike. I don't have a particular description for him, but he's such an important part of my life, and has been for a long time, that it feels right.
Mike and Therese definitely needed some time to come visiting. Clearly, him being on holiday (and her being permanently unemployed) makes for a rather contentious household. They are trying to live together nearly 24/7 right now, and it's doing their heads in. He still has all this week off work so I hope the resentment doesn't get too much, they actually seemed to be doing better this year, before Christmas.
Adam has started his work week, which is two days, followed by two nights. I've rescheduled my physio appointment for Wednesday morning so he can take me as I'm still not comfortable driving. I twisted my ankle really badly so I'm not doing very much right now. I've also booked blood tests (a little overdue) to check my B12 levels are satisfactory now I'm taking supplements. And ordered my prescriptions. Sigh. One tick for adulting.
I've also started looking at the paperwork I have to do before I go back to work. I was procrastinating, so Puck stepped in and took control of my motivation. But then it turns out I can't seem to access the shared drive right now so I went and took down the Xmas tree, being 12th night and all. It's my first fake tree, and we got it from the op shop for about $5, but it has no box or bag, so I better do something about making one. That could be a nice, small, sewing project. I'll get some cheap fabric from the op shop on Wednesday.
Today is a bit of a wind storm, and curbside recycling day. The two really don't go well together. There's been plastic, cardboard and cans blowing up and down the street all day. I've done a trip out to tidy up, the neighbour has done about three. It's high Summer here, the grass is dead, the weeds aren't, and the gardener I had a consult with has not got back to me. I even texted this morning and no reply I want to give them money every fortnight plus extra for when we do big planting or clearing. I hope they get back to me soon.
