Day 23 of 183. 160 days to go.
Ah at last. It is beginning to sound as though i'm getting somewhere by figures alone (days gone by). It feels great to only have 160 days to go. There is no reason why i can't keep this up throughout at least the first 100 days, and then add some food, too, after that, probably.
Today, though, i opened the fridge to put the cats ham away and i would have liked to have put some food into my mouth. Thanks goodness I don't have any food in the fridge. I cannot imagine what it's like to be living in a family - with all of the food in the fridge and cupboards - or even cooking for the family but not eating any of it.
Yesterday i popped into town to buy my light fittings for the lounge and as i went past an indian restaurant, i felt very much like eating. I felt sad. I considered myself to be deprived. Its the first time that i've felt this. It's the first time that i've been confronted with the smell of freshly cooked delicious smelling foods. i can't imagine what it feels like to resist food when you are bombarded with food smells every day. I think that i've got it easy.
Today the guy came and we emptied the lounge of its contents. It took all day.
The floor looks amazing without the crabby stained old carpet. The floorboards underneath are in absolute pristine condition in the lounge side of the room, and not that bad in the dinng room side of the room.
When they are stained 'ebony' and matt varnished, and a couple of rugs down, it will look wonderful.
The sander was delivered from the hire shop and tomorrow he starts work on the floorboards. First there will be all staples and so on to remove, and the carpet gripper rods to get up. Then after some of the sanding, the gaps (of which there are very, very few) need filling and smoothing.
Its now in-between Big Brother programs one and two of a Friday night. Eviction night. Except this time Aislene is not going to be evicted, she is actually going to dwell next door in a secret Big Brother House with five new house mates!!! How exciting. Its on again in a couple of minutes, I'm going back to it. Speak to you tomorrow. Bye.
