caz963Talk about a contrast. Compared with a couple of weeks ago, today was sunny and fairly warm - I could almost have been fooled into thinking that Spring had arrived!
But yes, I made it out of the house! I'd anticipated having to trek around for a bit because I had a number of different things to get for Abigail's room, including a new duvet, curtains, lampshade, rug and other bits and pieces. Fortunately, though, I decided to make our first stop at the local Range and I managed to get everything I wanted (and other stuff, too!) there. Which was just as well, because I really hadn't been looking forward to lots of too-ing and fro-ing.
So the room is done and Abigail couldn't wait to go to bed tonight! I'll try to post a couple of pics tomorrow.
We spent the afternoon sorting and putting away - God, how exhausting. It's good because it gives you the opportunity for the clear-out you've been putting off, but on the other hand, it takes bloody ages! And invariably leads to other sort-outs and clear-outs when you realise that certain items of clothing are tatty and need throwing out, so it's time to get out the stuff you've put aside and go through that... it's self perpetuating. So there will be more tidying up tomorrow.
I'm still not feeling 100%, but then that's to be expected. What I hadn't counted on though was the fact that my backside is still bloody sore and that I still can't sit for long periods. I've been sitting here updating my CV and writing my letter of resignation, and doing a bit of general "pottering" - and I'm going to have to lie down after I've finished this because I'm so uncomfortable. I've not been taking painkillers because they tend to have a certain side-effect which could make me even more uncomfortable (!), but it looks like I might have to take some when I go back to work next week.
I still have to write my job application, but that will have to wait until tomorrow when I can think about more than how much my a**e hurts!
