Tuesday Morning

[evaelisabeth]

It's a damp Tuesday morning and I'm sitting at my desk nursing my Latte after finishing the dictations that were cued up. Yesterday evening I walked into the living room not only to find that my Mother had cleaned the kitchen and living room up (it wasn't that bad thank the Gods) but that there was a new computer desk and small filing cabinet standing in the corner. My Mom says that the desk really really wanted to come live with us as they were taking their trash to the tip when she noticed a mirror stacked in the corner, she went to investigate and found this desk upside down but with nothing wrong with it. They paid the guard €5, wiped it down and now it's ours. It's a nice dark pine and Dad gave us his old filing cabinet from work which matches the wood. Now all I have to do is get some hanging files and I can start in on a new filing system. There is also a huge wrapped birthday present for paradigmslost on the desk and I have no idea what's in that. The mirror that Mom and the ladies at her workshop put together for us has also been mounted on the wall and looks spectacular.

So I had a very pleasant surprise waiting for me last night and then of course I had to call my sweethart (any excuse you know :-) The poor thing is totally frazzled and is missing pretty much any kind of like minded personal contact. On the one hand I'm sorry he's having a rough time but on the other hand I'm glad that he will be that much more happy to be comming over here. The K is also on the stressed side and badly needs her routine to settle down, B is doing his best but there is only so much he can do. Eight more days.
