Wind back the spring

Oh god my body is tired and tomorrow will be the hardest one. More and more, I’m thrilled that Lou and I have a week in Bridlington coming up where I’ve cleared the decks. She’s on a driving course with a test at the end of it, I’m just driving her to the driving.

I’m feeling connected to my body right now but not in a nice way, I just ran a hot bath for myself to help with the aches. Today was just about moving things from a local store to a bigger store in Canterbury, so the local storage locker to the job is empty and things like cables that are heavy and have scrap value can be put there temporarily and save me having to pay tip weight for something that, with more time, would balance positively. I’ll have some work to do after Bridlington. I’m looking forward to the time winding the spring back.

My head is so full and my body is so tired right now that I’m not sure how capable I am about making sentences. So even though the flat is full of food I’ve ordered myself a pizza on deliveroo. They cancelled my first order as there was no dip and now it is running later and later, but if it doesn’t show I’ve got a flat full of food anyway. I’m just being lazy as I’m tired.

It’s lovely to be here with the cats. We are just going to drift off together. Everything smells of burnt toast though so perhaps I’m about to have a stroke. More likely a downstairs neighbour had a mistake. Christine got evicted yesterday, and left on her own terms before they pushed her but I’ve ended up agreeing to look after all her gubbins. I’ve got multiple storage units at the mo and it is just another problem to solve but I don’t really want it, I’m just crap at saying no… I’ve asked her please only to make me keep it temporarily. We will see.

Tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow. Big day, let’s see where it goes.
