Flooring is almost done

Our flooring is finally almost finished! The carpet is finished, but they ran out of border for the knight tile so we’re waiting for that to arrive before they can finish off the kitchen and then its all done. Hopefully it’ll get here today.

 

I got all my bulbs in the mail yesterday so I know what I’ll be doing over the next couple of weekends! My chives have started to grow much to my delight. I’ve booked myself into a Trees For Life workshop at the start of May, so that should be good. Also a bloke from work (who is very greeny) lent me some books about seed collection and propagating seedlings so they should be helpful.

 

Kelly C and I had a bit of a chat yesterday about my impending aunty status and its nice to be able to vent a little bit to someone and have them know exactly how I’m feeling cause the same thing is happening in her family and she feels the same way I do. What is sad though is that it seems whenever someone finds out that Megan is pregnant, their first question is “who’s the father?”. Megan and Paul have been together for almost 2 years now – its not like she’s unfaithful or has only just met him or anything. So, despite my jealousy, I do pity her. And let me clarify my jealousness – I’m jealous of the fact that she is pregnant and going to have a baby – I am not jealous of her, the fact that as a uni student she will struggle with a baby, that her relationship with Paul seems to be fairly volatile, or that people are being made to feel they can’t express their positive feelings towards her because she has all these rules. I’m happy that I’m not pregnant right now but hope to be next year because right now we need 2 strong incomes to cope with the 2 mortgages we’ve got. Even when we move to Rocky Glen there’s going to be a lot of hard manual work to be done which I’m kind of looking forward to. Once we’ve done a fair share of that and we’ve made our nest, then we can try and have a baby and bring it into a happy and hopefully unstressful home.

 

James has officially got his new job! He’s going back to Moomba for Bardrill, as planned, this Thursday morning, finishing up for Bardrill in 2 weeks, come home for 1 week, then go up and start for Transfield for 3 weeks, and then be on a 2 and 2 roster.
