“J” was up at 3:45am!!!! Yep, 3:45am!!! Although he is now successfully napping, I am not. Why you ask? Good question. I was settled in for a nice afternoon nap when the doorbell rang. The guys are here installing our eavestroughing! We have been waiting patiently since September and they are here today (freezing their butts off I am sure). “J” is still sound asleep through the pounding and banging, but I am not. I can just barely keep my eyes open, but can’t seem to fall back asleep. I even made a pot of extra strong coffee, but it isn’t helping keep me awake either. Is there such a thing as in-between sleep and awake? If there is then that is where I am at.
The good news is that yesterday on a whim, I stopped in our local grocery store to see if they had any Xbox360’s. They were scheduled to receive some and we have been waiting patiently for our chance to make the purchase. Which is a gift for the boys from the inlaws. Well!!! They were in, so tonight we are having an impromptu Christmas. “A” knows it is coming, but isn’t expecting it until after Christmas, so for fun we are going to wrap it and have a mini-Christmas tonight. Fun.
Lately, I have been dreaming of my old house. Almost everynight I have at least one dream I remember that has my old house in it. Sometimes it is just as it was, other times they have changed the carpet or a wall or two. Sometimes it is for sale and I buy it back, other times I still own it, then there are the times I break in and steal stuff. I am not by nature a thief, but it is in my dream.
I am trying to figure out why I keep dreaming of my old house. We have been living here now 10 months and feel quite at home, it is almost like we have been here for years. There are still pieces of my old house that I miss, but for the most part, I am now content with the move. Perhaps it is because I have been pulling out all the holiday fluff and I remember where it went in the old place and can’t find the perfect spot for it here. Or because we just don’t seem to have enough holiday fare to fill this house, I feel like it is a bit empty.
For whatever the reason, I have obviously been thinking of the old place, moved on but not forgotten.
I also want to send out some Birthday wishes today! Happy Birthday to Nancy and Ann. May you have a day full of suprises, treats and something special just for you!
Although I have become quite a good customer at the new Starbucks in my neighbourhood. And I was looking forward to walking there next spring/summer/good weather season. I have to tell the truth. I am soooooooo excited that a second Starbucks is coming to a mall near me! And this one is so much closer. Word from the Indigo Manager where the first Starbucks location is, is that by next summer the second, larger Starbucks will be opening **gulp** a mere 15 minute walk from my house! I think I may be able to convince others to make the trek with me! The scarey part is… Second Cup is nowhere to be seen. And no they have not answered my letter yet.
Ann, if you are out there and reading, sorry. I really, truly am sorry that I will be in such proximity to a Starbucks or two 😉
