MY WORD OF THE WEEK.
I left you last week while I was at a funeral. It went as well as a funeral can go. I saw many people I’d not seen in many years. we didn’t stay for the wake though. I’m thinking I won’t be seeing any of these relatives again, unless they turn up at my ex husband’s funeral. A sobering thought indeed.
This week has been quiet. I’ve not actually left the house since last Friday..so much for my going out once a week. I’m feeling frustrated and fed up at being cooped up inside.
The kids went back to school on Monday, so I figured it would be a good time to decorate the living room. So far, we have one painted door! I’m so frustrated. If I was able do the decorating myself, I could do a room easily in a few days. I’ve done it many times before in the past. My Mum would do all her own decorating and I learned a lot from her. Now, I can’t bend or stretch and I get tired easily.
If it’s not done by next week, I’m considering paying someone to come in and do it. It will be frustrating spending even more money when there are four adults in this house.
Other frustrating things have been my inability to find a new crochet project I can enjoy. I finished my baby blanket last week and now I’m at a loss at what to do next. I keep starting things but not wanting to carry on. And I have a huge book pile to read through, not audio books, so I can’t just plug my earbuds in and get on with it, but actual books. I love reading but I can’t do so for long as I find it so tiring. Finally, I started watching Good Omens last Friday and I still haven’t managed to watch all six episodes. You would think that someone who never leaves the house would have enough time to watch six hours of television!
Here’s the badge if you can get it to work, even this frustrates me sometimes, it works for some but not others!
Now, it’s your turn, come and tell me what you’ve been up to this week
It is so frustrating when you can’t manage to get things done. The decorating would frustrate me too. We have a similar issue with trying to get Sophie’s bedroom finished. Hope you can get some more done next week and find a new crochet project you like. I have a feeling that I changed some code to make your linky badge work on my blog. Will have a look when I get on the computer later. Thanks for hosting #WotW
I can well imagine the frustration of not being able do the decorating. My grandmother used to decorate the whole house every spring. I’m afraid I’d frustrate you. I start and don’t finish. We’ve started watching Good Omens too. Loving it so far. I hope you find a crochet project that grabs you. Sometimes I find the yarn first and then make the project up as I go along, just because I like the yarn so much. Hope next week is less frustrating. Thanks for hosting #wotw
It is not easy getting things done, I get like this too. I hope you get more done next week. Thank you for hosting xx
That is a sobering thought about the funeral.
Sorry you have had a frustrating week. I can imagine it being so annoying being cooped up inside, especially when the weather is pretty good. I’ve just seen on Twitter that you have got the ceiling done. It’s a start. Keep on ranting. hehehe
I am fancying watching Good Omens too. My fella has started it and is enjoying it.
I totally get the frustration with decorating, my hubby feels the same. He used to be a proper handyman, around the house, now he struggles with everything. I can’t get the badge to work lol, so I add a link at the bottom anyway x
Oh, how many times have my own expectations lead to frustration? So sorry to read that frustration is your word of the week. A happier word next week for sure!
I understand completely the frustrations round decorating… hubby was “doing the ensuite” for three years before I marched over to our neighbour (who owns a bathroom fitting company) and asked for a quote. It was done over a weekend!
8 can understand your frustrations but sometimes you have to not do a lot to help your health. I hope your mood picks up soon X #wotw
I bet that has been so frustrating, I cant decorate at all I am more back up in our house, but I hate the whole process of it being done it drives me mad. Are there no patterns on line you can use ? But sometimes searching in itself is frustrating x
