Behave you!  No fear of that rumour ever being true.

The peanut butter, however, could pose a few problems.

Poor Jack.   

I went on a bit of a rampage yesterday.  Nothing to do with Jack and the plan was to get all emotion out of the way before he got home from work, so as not to upset him too.  Actually, I tend to close up shop and say nothing when I'm in a mood if others are around.  He's spotted that, which means I need to gather meself to stop him worrying.  The goal was to be rid of the issues in time to be chipper when he he landed.  For me, that means getting up and doing some real work.

What does a girl do when she's off the smokes and needs to let off steam?  Strip wallpaper off walls obv.  And then mix a batch of filler to randomly sort walls where required.  May as well start scraping and prepping the walls in the hallway too for good measure.  By the time he got home, I was looking slightly deranged...but at least there was a bit done around the place.  Try as I might to fake it with a smile and a bit of chat, he saw right through it all and asked what was wrong.  Can't seem to get anything past him, ffs!  And with that, I went to put a first coat of paint on the loo walls...as ya do. 

To be fair to him, he's figured out just the right mixture of 'give her space' and sneak attack cuddles to keep things under control and I was grand in no time.  Today the plan is to complete the loo.  I'm much calmer now, so I've brewed a pot of coffee because I'll need caffeine to kick me into gear.  Need to have the painting out of the way by 4pm for our grocery delivery.  That's another story in itself.

Grocery shopping.  It's not necessarily something I look forward to, but at least it's shopping that doesn't require trying things on.  In fact, I don't mind the actual shopping side of it at all.  It's the lugging the lot to and from the car that I have issues with. 

Don't have to worry about that here.  It's all done online.  Huh?  All ordered and delivered without leaving yer sofa?  Excellent!  Except that my brain doesn't work that way.  I gather a list in me head as the week goes on.  I need to be able to see the items in the aisles to say, "Oh yeah, that was on the list."  I'm abso rubbish at recalling the list from me sofa - staring at a computer screen.  Bring on the brain freeze panic.  And when me brain freezes, god help ya if ya expect me to recall anything.  Poor Jack.  He hadn't received that memo...until our first sofa shopping trip.  He's got it now.

[Laxie]

We've the best part of a month put down now.  It's taken work on both our parts to figure out exactly what makes the other tick.  And we've both had to work on our own issues as well.  Add gardening, painting and shopping into the mix...and we're still laughing and enjoying each other's company with no regrets?  Yep.  Go figure.  Who woulda thunk it?   I think we've done a pretty damn good job of it.
