Week 31 – Monday-Friday Monday 23rd January-Friday 27th January 2006 Monday and Tuesday: Work is somewhat hectic and I have a load of things to do. With just over five weeks remaining I was hoping things might calm down but it would seem this isn't to be the case just yet. But hopefully if I work really hard today I will see light at the end of the tunnel. Tomorrow is the last day for the staff who have been made redundant to express an interest in the job I want to go for. It's a bit nervewracking waiting to find out. I know I can do the job a million times better than anyone else, it's basically made for me, and it would be such a shame if it went to somebody else because of a legal obligation to redeployment. So fingers crossed. Hubby and I continued to clear out the spare room last night - how did we ever accumulate so much stuff?! We had a slight falling out over some FHMs (Hubby wanted to keep three FHMs from July, October and November 2005 as he hadn't read them, I thought this was silly so he made a huge show out of throwing them out and making me feel rotten) but we resolved the whole thing fairly quickly and settled down to watch American Chopper in Europe, which was pretty funny. I must remember to order Hubby an OCC t-shirt as part of his 30th birthday present. Today on the way to work I actually got shoved out of the way when a seat became free. A young bloke just shoved me out of the way, settled down and pretended to fall asleep! Asshole. I stamped on his foot as I got off the train, ha! Anyway, time to go and get on with work. I have a mountain to get through today *sigh*
I was in a really bad mood when I woke up. I have a long day ahead of me and I have to go all the way to Lewisham for a meeting this afternoon. I am getting sick of the stress of public transport and I could really do without it. Plus I have to go all the way to Euston tomorrow afternoon for an IT seminar. Still, at least from next week I don't have to travel to meetings anymore, so that will be a relief. Hubby had footie training last night so I spent a nice relaxing evening with a bowl of ice-cream watching TV. The baby was moving loads - she is running out of room in there now so her movements are much more noticeable. It makes me realise that there is actually a little person inside there that has to come out fairly soon, then we're going to have to work out how to look after her. I try not to think about it all too much as it all seems too enormous to get my head round! Though I am so excited for her to be here, I can hardly wait. We'll be moving a load of stuff out of the nursery-to-be to store at my mum's on Friday. We've cleared out loads and it still looks a mess! I'm sure it'll all come together soon though. Right, I have a mountain of work to plough through this morning so I had best get on with it... Thursday: Last night after work Hubby and I decided to bake some more muffins, as the ones we made at the weekend were so nice. Then we made some coconut cookies, which are simply divine. It was really fun messing about in the kitchen together and I felt a bit more energetic and relaxed. I am also filled with a sense of how lucky I am to have such a fun and wonderful husband, who cooks with me, does the washing up, buys me chocolate and tells me my stretch marks are sexy (even though I suspect he's lying!!) I slept really well last night for a change and didn't wake up more than once, and even then only vaguely and not because of heartburn or leg cramps but because of a dream about having to go back to school. Even so it was difficult getting up when the alarm went at 6am. I could really do with a nice long lie-in, just until 8 or 9am will do. Maybe on Saturday... Tonight we are off to an am-dram panto that our friend Si is in. We go every January and it's usually a real laugh (though I am usually a few glasses of wine down the line when we're watching it so it'll be interesting to experience it sober!) But first I have to get through today: a mountain of desk work then a yawn-a-rific IT seminar all the way over in Euston. Pah! Friday: Yesterday evening Hubby and I joined our friends to see our mate Si’s annual am-dram pantomime. This year it was Cinderella and as usual it was very funny indeed. It was made more funny by the fact that both Hubby and Fairy’s boyfriend Stuart got dragged up to participate in some dodgy dancing on stage. Hubby, still in his No Drinking In January phase, was stone cold sober for the whole experience too, most entertaining. We got home late and I fell asleep the instant my head hit the pillow. I slept well again, only waking up once in the night and with no heartburn. A swig of Gavisgon before bed seems to work miracles. This morning, clad in a tight black top and with my belly protruding so much I could have toppled over if the wind blew in the right direction, I stood the whole way to work on the tube. I saw at least three people openly look at me, register that I was heavily pregnant, and then just get on with sitting comfortably and ignoring me completely. What is wrong with these idiots?! Is it embarrassment? Or just plain ignorance and selfishness? It’s beginning to seriously piss me off. Still, at least it’s Friday. Hubby and I are off to Kent tonight with a load of stuff cleared out from the nursery-to-be. It’s my sister’s birthday so we’re off to see Swan Lake tomorrow night. Well, Hubby isn’t, he’s going to stay at home and watch gruesome DVDs instead. But for now I’d best get on with some work and clear my desk for another week.
