It's A Wonderful Life!!!

I'm glad to think that my life seems to be getting a little better ...

I came over all housewifey yesterday after dinner and got the new dishwasher stacked, and the sink cleaned, while my lovely Seanie tackled the hob. I won't mention that when I disappeared off to check my e-mail he cleaned out the filter plates from the extractor fan in my lovely clean sink, making it erm ... not so clean. I know it sounds daft, but honestly, even managing to get the dishwasher straight on after dinner (instead of moaning at Sean to do it for hours on end - it's 'his' job to do) and clean the sink was a major achievement for me. Some days lately it's been a struggle to so much as get myself out of bed, and get myself to work and Ethan to nursery in a relatively clean and unsmelly state. Hhhmmm. Well, you'll know what I mean if you've ever suffered with depression.

Anyway, early to bed last night, and early to rise this morning ... I was up at 6.30 am. I think I'll gloss over the fact that I had to get up then cos I realised that despite the fact that I'd washed Sean's school uniform from blazer downwards, I'd forgotten to wash his school shirts ... oops. Cue a frantic throwing of a shirt in the machine on a half hour wash, and then a frantic session with a very hot iron to get it as dry as possible so that he could wear it. In between all this frantic activity, I made packed lunches for us all (with the exception of Ethan, who has lunch at nursery), and got Ethan bathed; and for once I was at work at a reasonable time (9.10 am to be exact!)

Still my day continued in a positive way - I got lots and lots of typing done this morning, and cleared a nice big space on my shelf (which was promptly filled with notes from today's clinic); then managed to sort out more waiting list stuff this afternoon. Okay, I admit, I did a fair bit of faffing around as well this afternoon, but I feel the fact that I worked hard this morning cancels that out!

I got home to find yet more pre-orders for the new Prima stuff - I'm amazed, to be honest - I didn't think they would be quite so popular. I just need to hope now that I don't get shortchanged on my order when it arrives.

Anyway, I heard the best ever news today that made me and Colin jump for joy - unfortunately I can't divulge it here as it is not my news to share, but suffice it to say that it was something that we'd kept our fingers crossed for for a certain someone in our life for a long long time, and to finally get the news that she was getting what she truly deserved was the icing on our cake.

Ho hum, I like it when my life is like this. To top my day off, I've managed (I think) to get my blood sugars down to a much more respectable level, and I am determined to keep on top of it this time (you wouldn't believe how crap you can feel with high BMs).

Well, time is getting on and I should be getting off to bed. I still have a huge heap of orders to get done, but I have done all that I can do tonight - I need to send Colin on a hunt for boxes tomorrow, as most of what is outstanding needs boxes for packaging, and all of mine seem to have disappeared somewhere. The main thing is that I have a big bag full of parcels to go out tomorrow.
