Way back in September 2024 I decided to paint these two large boxes in an arty crafty way as they live in my craft room, I was really enthusiastic and pleased with each layer, then lots of things got in the way, that room often gets too hot to comfortably work in, or the weather is wet meaning the clothes horse needs the space to get laundry dry, or the ironing board needs the space. However I'm so pleased to report that this week I've now finally finished them and the acrylic paints and paraphernalia that I was using, which has been out on the desk ready for two and a half years has now been put away.
We were surprised to hear that E is moving back to Ipswich, sadly she is suffering with the long term illness of M.E. Daughter's house isn't ideal for the help and care she may need from day to day with O at college and Daughter, M and R all working long hours so we are planning on the probability E will move in here as we are mostly at home.
Monday I needed to chase my overdue meds delivery and discovered that Oncology Pharmacy wouldn't issue them as my last blood test had one result missing, so my Oncology Nurse urgently booked me in just to have the missed FBCs done at the hospital and issue the prescription as soon as they see the results, although I asked if I could pick them up as I'm there to save them urgently delivering them. The nurse managed to get them to agree to that.
Not easy crossing town mid afternoon to get to the hospital as there are so many road works and temporary traffic lights and it was getting towards school pickup time. When we arrived all the car parks were quite full so we had to park furthest away which left a long walk and of course an even longer walk to get to Oncology Pharmacy after the blood test, in fact my phone recorded just my hospital walk as a total of 2,562 steps!
And when we got there the pharmacist had to tell us they were out of the pills I need. They were on order and will be delivered. Actually I got a call on Tuesday confirming I'd be in and delivered Wednesday.
Thursday Daughter picked up E from Norwich and also all her belongings. We already have one bedroom filled with all her belongings from moving back from Dorchester and now more stuff has joined it. Even though we still haven't made a decision about which room she will want to settle into and where her most needed stuff needs to be Hubby and I keep sorting spaces which is as good a motive as any to get rid of things we no longer need.
Another thought we both had was if she chose to sleep in the downstairs room it has glass in half of the door and I remembered having a spare curtain that matched the others in that room. Measured and cut was the easy bit but for some reason a quick machine line got more and more complicated. I was using orange top thread and yellow in the bobbin then managed to sew the hem upside down so the unintentionally wavy yellow line was annoyingly in full view right across the front.
Hubby could see it was making me grumpy so offered to do the unpicking for me. That's love eh?
Meanwhile there's no rush as E is staying at her mum's for a week or two and there will always be flexibility and we can make adjustments as and when needed. This weekend nothing planned. Enjoy yours.
