Woke up this morning in a panic thinking omg, it's THIS WEEK that we are moving.
THIS WEEK.
So much to do, so little time.
Before 9am this morning in a fit of panic I had crossed at least 7 items off the 'to do' list. Thank goodness various call centres are open early. The things which remain are the most serious, and the ones which G needs to input on. ARGH.
Of course, over the weekend, we didn't do much. I spent Saturday clearing out the bathroom cupboards which was a fairly large task - throwing out all those half used ancient medicines and potions that one accumulates over the years. Those are now empty and ready for the movers to pack. D went to a birthday party, and when he was done we went down to the wonderful (?) Chuckie Cheese to play some tokens he had and to exchange millions of tickets he'd accumulated for a prize - a disco ball - that he'd wanted for ages.
That done, we came home and went around to our friends for dinner and SURPRISE! they had organized a surprise leaving party for us, complete with a whole bunch of friends and neighbours. They all leaped out of a garage at us, and it was quite overwhelming (consider the elevated stress levels already!) but very nice. We sat and drank and had pizza and cake. I bailed early because of overall tiredness and stress... G stayed and got wasted!
Sunday was Fathers Day and consequently we did bugger all.. went out for brunch and then came home and watched the last episode of Doctor Who. I cried, 3 or 4 times! Fantastic show. FANTASTIC. Afterwards I took Dylan to see the new Herbie (Fully Loaded) movie which he absolutely loved, on the edge of his seat during the race scenes. Remember watching them myself as a kid and loving them so it was nice to take him and relive that.
Today I really need to get some crap done :-|
