07/22/2009: "vacant!"

music: daydreamer - david cassidy
mood: floating in space.....

first day today of the summer hols.
lots of work for me to do, plastering, doors to hang, pipes to put in, rubbish to shift out and lifting of heavy things, but today, its time to get into barmy army mode - this time the hairs gone white with a blue and a red streak, only the blue streak has turned some of my hair lilac, and ive somehow managed to burn my scalp round my hairline. oh well.

still theres always the gang on the street to play sport with? errrr nope!
most of them away on holidays and besides its been chucking it down on and off all day, which will be good when i get the tip permits around friday, as all the rubbish to tip will now be sodden and covered in slime. so i will unwittingly end up with cat pee all over my gloves and be saturated in standing water after each trip. cosmic.

been a very odd week so far, not one of my favs, times are changing (i dont like change) saying goodbye to people is not a nice thing, especially as ive got used to having them around.
monday was goodbye to the lads... end of term assembly involved singing, which is always off putting for someone as shy as me (not a word!) and afterwards i gave them a few bits, mostly sporting stuff, i wonder if any of them will be famous in the future... a centre forward or playing in an ashes test match?
i doubt it but it would be great to see.

tuesday, i was not looking forward to at all. went out friday with some of the staff, for a meal, should have gone out with them on some of the other staff nights out, it was a blast, they are just like me!
problem is, ive spent so long trying to do the right thing, i didnt realise how much fun they were.
so after friday night, i could relax a bit, and have a laugh, the problem is by tuesday i had to say goodbye to some of the staff not moving with us after the summer!
so when tuesday came, it was a bit of a downer for me.
why do things always have to change just when you dont want them to?

anyways... ive been in a bit of a daze today, it felt like a friday yesterday, and today ive been plodding around like a lemon, maybe humping heavy stuff around and keeping busy will be a good thing?
on friday itll be just 7 weeks until Tammy arrives... and life as we know it in hoover towers will change forever.
Dad's doing well, hes doing that well hes getting rid of visitors and when i phone him, hes telling me what hes been doing and then going off and doing summat else!

i suppose i should just be grateful that hes back to his best....
