   Guess who's back?

Wednesday - May 30

THE BIG MOVE. Aka First night in the House.

We had two carpenters help us with the heavy loads. If they hadn't been there for the first two loads ... I dunno if anyone would've survived >.> They majorly impressed everyone *applauds them*

Freezing cold outside and inside during the night.

No fridge/freezer. We had some power, coming in from a big cable through dad's window.

The upstairs bathroom unfinished. Not fun venturing down the stairs in the middle of the night when it's cold and you're not really awake. No one got hurt.

I slept with 3 duvets on me. After shivering uncontrollably for about 5 minutes I felt less cold.

Thursday - May 31

ARGH! No nourishment-shake meant I was completely devoid of energy and strength to help out with much.

Mom and Eleine cleaned up the apartment. Dad and I finished up the attic + basement storage. Juliette made dinner for everyone, which was welcomed by all.

When we came back to the house that evening we found the upstairs bathroom operational! 1 of the fridges was also working!

It was slightly warmer this day. Only needed 2 duvets.

At the end of the day I was weary, cranky, but it changed the second I (after some much determined digging in boxes) found my nourishment drinks!

Friday - June 1

Ichigo, Batou and Chigo visited me in my dreams during the night. They cheered me up significantly ^___^

Carpenters knocked off early due to persistant rain. Poor mom had to bike around in it all day =(

Electricity guys came by to fix us some real power (and switch us from the one we've bummed off since the start of the build) but it turned tricky since our house electrician wasn't finished .... Called dad and got the number to the guy, passed it onto the electricity guys and washed my hands of the situation.

Put down some more tiles in the living room. Also sorted out the kitchen a bit.

No tv, computer or music left a lot of time for working.

We don't have any skirting boards laid out yet so furnishing the rooms is put on hold. No use placing them permanently if they're not gonna stay there permanently :p

Mom and I fled the house electrician (he's an annoying bastard on a good day, imagine his impact on a pissy day) by bumming a ride from Eleine to her apartment (which she shares with Juliette). We cooked dinner, had some coffee, watched tv.

When it came time to go home we were all powered up _^_

10-ish in the evening we had electricity! Stove, over hooked up! HOT WATER!

Fridges and freezers all operational! YES!

Got my period! Yay! (I was happy it didn't strike in the middle of the move, haha.)

Saturday - June 2

Slept in, until 11 in the morning. Dreamt that Sara danced happily XD

Bought stuff at a building store with dad. Had to play GPS since he was so tired/out of it. Kinda fun. Not him being worn out but the GPS thing.

Put down some more tiles. PMS emo over the results.

Dad fixed some framing around the door in my room.

Dishwasher plugged in!

Sorted my closet out slightly and could clear up some more space.

INCREDIBLY tired. Rested for an hour or so around 6 in the evening.

Tidied up in the upstairs living room and down in the kitchen.

End of day.

PS: I'm getting warm and fuzzy feelings from wandering around the house now.

Sunday - June 3

Not very eventful day. Rested a lot, puttered about with things in the house.

---

Monday - June 4

Made the first meal in the house! Meatballs + potatoes and gravy :3 Premiere dinner check!

Rested even more. (You'll notice that me resting is kind of frequent, yet it's not enough to cure me of my pains. Possibly because it's only for a few hours - if that - that I lay down.)

Resisted urge to put down more tiles.

Put together the very last IKEA flat pack.

Spent some time at the sisters, watching Naruto on the computer and "The Dog Whisperer" on tv.

---

Tuesday - June 5

Mom helped me assemble my bed frame. RESTED after having tried to install a cupboard in the utility room.

Put down a big batch of tiles in the living room. Was pleased about results.

Mooched on over to the sisters again. Juliette gave me an Inner Sakura figurine/mobile phone accessory XD!!!!

Wrestled with a table sink in the utility room with dad late in the evening. Probably took us 2 ½ hours to get it done. Phew.

---

Wednesday - June 6

Me and the Dad tiled the living room (it's not that big of a space but MAN does it require a lot of tiling!). It went well.

HOT outside. Looks like summer's here.

Prepped some more wood that's going onto the house and painted some of it.

We've got tv again. Watched Myth Busters :D

Didn't do much else today. Napped between 2-6... ish.

No carpenters meant it was quiet.

Thursday - June 7

Hot day again.

Slothed in front of the telly after having put down the gunk that goes in between the tiles and then washing off the excess - all by myself. HARD WORK!!!! I don't think my legs will ever swell down if I keep this up :-/

Electric guy worked on getting us cable between 8 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. (Minus an hourlong lunch.)

Dad's off on a class trip.

No carpenters today.

---

Friday - June 8

H.O.T.!. 30 degrees Celsius. At least.

Woke up when the carpenters arrived at 7 AM. Nearly died from exhaustion just by sitting at the kitchen table. It's been a long time since I felt so fatigued after waking up. Mom was nice enough to serve me breakfast.

Went directly to the sofa upstairs and snoozed until 10.30 when the sisters arrived to help us clear up the front yard. Eleine had dressed up like a true blonde (ie she wasn't wearing clothes that were suited for heavy work. it looked more like she was going to sunbathe at a pool or something XD).

It was hot, sweaty work but not too heavy.

Once we were done we headed off to a super market, cooled off inside while shopping, then zoomed on over to the sisters' apartment.

Dad showed up just as they had finished cooking/bbq-ing dinner and we all sat at the kitchen table. Family dinners can be nice :p

I downloaded Naruto and watched it with Juliette. It can be kinda annoying to watch it with her since she's reading the manga - thus being farther ahead - which leads her to make comments that hint at knowing something tragic/whatever about a character or event. So while she isn't spoiling me per say, she's .... being annoying -/-

Went home. Cleared up some more. At a sandwich and chilled.

TODAY

Woke up at 7, went back to sleep, woke up again at 11.30, had breakfast, and then proceeded to help dad shift the junk from our clearing up to the recycling station.

After that we bought more tiles (XD) and shopped around for a washing machine.

Mom slipped off to IKEA with a work mate. Bought me a nice throw for my bed ^_^

Dad bought a washing machine later on and installed it. We can now wash clothes in our own home! Wheeee!

For the first time ever we managed to install intornet within a couple of seconds, without fiddling or tearing a single hair out O___O

And now that I've gotten you all up to speed (and have sped around the upstairs floor being chased by a yucky insect) I shall head on out to the local cinema and catch "Oceans 13".


I'm baaaaaaaaaack! :3
