I thought that I might write about a normal day. This was brought on by going through my old blogs on Sunday and reading about all the little things that I would normally have forgotten about - and did forget until I read it again. It was great to go through all those old memories, and so it has in turn prompted that I do a bit more blogging. Hopefully. I tend to not as can't think of things to write or am just too busy.
But anyway. So today was a normal-ish day. Pio flew to Ondangwa yesterday to do a presentation for Click, after much argument with Marius as he backed out at the last minute, which resulted in Pio flying on Sunday and only returning Tuesday for a half hour slot. Ridiculous. I was so angry.
Anyway, so last night I was alone on the plot, for the first time since I have been here. It wasn't that bad - I watched TV and fell asleep with the shotgun next to me, loaded and ready for bear! Not Bear, but a human trying to break in lol. I was of course fine and nothing happened. I didn't sleep well though, the dogs were really restless and up and down. Kita slept in front of the door waiting for her Daddy to come home and he didn't. She must have been really upset.
Wilbard dragged me out of bed at 6:45 and I got going. I put the washing on, as I do every Monday, only to have Tresia text me and tell me that she is ill and isn't coming to work. This means that I am so busy and still have to do washing and clean the house. I did minimal cleaning - wiped counters down, packed the dishwasher and washed a few dishes. I also cleaned my desk as hate working in a mess. Other than that, I left it. It can wait until Wednesday.
I started work at around 7 and cleaned in between til the kitchen was done. I then worked straight through til 4:30 with no lunch or breaks. Most of the day was spent on Click and trying to work out the inordinate amount of oddities and stupid things that keep happening - why can't people just pay the correct amount!! STUPID!
I then did Embrace for the rest of the day and filled out Garvin's application for a phone that he wants on contract. Cheeky bugger gets so much out in a month with all his benefits.
It was stinking hot from about 2pm and still is now after 5pm. I had the air cooler on but turned it off when I started cooking as it was nippy in here, but now after a few minutes of being off it's steaming in the igloos again. Might have to turn it back on. The flies are also terrible as my fly-trap has stopped working so have doomed everything in sight as there were about 40 of them sitting in the windows and now two are being particularly annoying as I try to drink a glass of wine and blog ...
Well that's it for me. I am off to check on my dinner and then I will feed the dogs, eat, and watch some TV. I might write as I am going to fall behind on my mentoring if I don't catch up soon, but I am not sure I am in the right frame of mind to write properly. I might just chill after a hectic day with the fan on and something to drink.
Anyway ... that's my normal day - apart from the fact that Pio comes home and works in the kitchen on his PC there in the afternoons and all evening, and then we walk the dogs at six on the bikes, over the mountain and around the plot. But, after the python, I am too scared to walk alone in case I run into something else just as dangerous and lose a dog.
Off to finish dinner and chill! Or write!
