Well, Saturday has come and gone and the ex cancelled on me!
I know, right!! But he did text and let me know he had to work so I guess I can let him off.
Still haven't started packing >.< My new excuse is that the moving date has been put back so I now have more time. Well, that and the fact I can't get a hold of any boxes! I think I'm gonna have to buy them!
Anyway.....pretty slow week here. Not a lot has been happening. See, I can be boring sometimes!

Arachnids
Daughter #1 went to visit the downstairs loo, She reappeared telling me that spring is here.
Why such a random question? Well, the downstairs loo, or as I call it....Arachnid city is back!
They only ever appear during the months of March through September. They are big......Imagine the size of the inner tube of a toilet roll. Well, they wouldn't even fit through that! And they only gather in the downstairs loo!!
Well, that's it! I'm finished using that place. Daughter #1 is trying to get her cat to catch it but the cat doesn't seem to be hungry! Curses!!
Wooooo! Cat #1 caught the beast and had such a feast! (What a poet I am!) But I still won't use that place ever again!
Just as well it's only another 4 weeks or so!

More.....Procrastination?
In college today, I felt like a hobo. Why you ask?
Well, I was running around putting other people's discarded newspapers in my bag!
Why, when I had no intention of reading them? I need them to wrap all my precious lead crystal of course!
Well....maybe not lead crystal but I don't intend to drink and eat from disposables when I move, so my crockery is precious to me! Trust me, if I owned that much lead crystal, I wouldn't be wrapping it in other peoples discarded news.
Anyway, I still haven't started packing. But at least I've made a start by collecting said newspapers!
This weekend will be a battle between coursework and packing. Which one do you think I'll choose?

Monday morning. Who likes 'em? Me!
Well, this particular Monday I liked as I had the day off.
Another reason I liked it was I went to see the plans for the new pad/crib/place/abode/digs. Please delete according to age. Ended up in the pub with daughter #1. How did that happen I hear you ask? Well, daughter #1 was with me to see the plans and she had a lot of her own stuff to talk over with me, what better way to do it than over a glass of vino?! The place (on paper) looks great btw! I'm now officially excited! Still haven't started packing yet though. Oops. No official moving date as yet either but if everything stays on schedule, it should be mid/late April. A month away! I better get packing!!

Saturday Nights
Well, here we are. Saturday night, and I'm doing what I should be.
Packing you say?
Well of course not! I have the house to myself as I usually do on a Saturday. (daughter #1 goes to the boyfriend's) So, this particular evening, rather than sit and feel sorry for myself, I cracked open a nice shiraz, poured a glass and packed......
Of course I never!! The shiraz bit is correct, but I kinda lied about the packing, well, not lied as such 'cause I did think about it, but the tunes were switched on and that's as far as it got. At least I thought about it!
So, here I sit with a million things to do and a nice shiraz, well nice for an Australian one anyway. I usually go for Chilean but this one was on offer and who am I to refuse a bargain?!
Well, this week I powered through the coursework. Yay me! Still not caught up but nearly there. Any excuse for not packing eh?!
Oh, big news! As some of you know, there is no man in my life. Just two ex husbands and as I'm fond of telling people, two nice patio's in my garden which I won't be sad to see go. I hate gardening! I digress.
As I'm in a house, I have an attic, loft, room at the top of the house. Whichever you feel comfortable calling it but you get the idea. Well, my loft isn't floored as such but it does have 15 years of accumulated junk as well as humongous arachnids! Not good for an agoraphobe. (gives me the jitters just typing their name) I have no idea what is up there, but it really needs cleared out. and I certainly aint going up. Daughter #1 is the height of nonsense so she's no good either. So, I bit the bullet and called ex husband #2. It was an amicable split so we are still friends. We just haven't spoke in a couple of years. Anyway, I didn't quite call as text. I know! Coward's way out! But instead of texting back, he called me! Eeeek. It was all very pleasant and he's coming up to do the loft thing next Saturday. Wooo! I think! I'll keep you all posted anyway!
Well, time for me to go annoy my FaceBook chums for a while.

Re: Relocation, relocation
Does it matter that I'm freaking out about my diploma that can and will(?) be achieved?
Or should I concentrate on the whole shrinking a three bed house into a one bed flat in five weeks take precidence? Argh!! I'm a confirmed procrastinator that has.....DONE NOTHING!
What would you do?
Let's forget that daughter #1 is also moving with me. (scroll back! It's not my fault!) she has ONE room to pack. Her own! I have four rooms to pack, plus an attic that is crawling with 4" arachnids! Did I mention I am arachnaphobic? No? Well, Newsflash!! I can't even look at a picture of one! Sheesh, it took me half an hour to type the kind of phobia I have!! I'm even considering digging up the 2nd ex! 'Cause he was nice! Seriously, I have oodles of personal papers up there and I need them! Well, would you leave personal papers behind for someone to trace you?! Exactly! HELP!!
