All in a day's work... and tomorrow's work will be removing them from my trousers. I knew it was a mistake going into work in respectable clothes today. Still, it's been an excellent two days, and has set the new regime going very nicely.
I've been here a week now, and getting accustomed to it. It's taken a while to get used to the creaks and noises of the house, but I think I've got there! Mind you, I was so tired last night, I don't think the Second Coming would've woken me, so odd, creaky noises didn't stand a chance.
Sadly though, I think I'm going to have to re-train my body clock. I do not do mornings, left to my own devices, and I'm going to have to get used to being up and out by 6.15 twice, if not three times a week. Which is a bit of a shock to the system after some years of not needing to be up and doing before 7.30, and the last few weeks of not really emerging until the rest of the household had got up and got their days under way, so about 9.00 a.m. at the earliest. I am so, so looking forwards to a long lie in and a lazy day tomorrow - apart from the aforementioned laundry and unwanted stripes removal. I'm also going to have to get better organised the night before! Which doesn't come naturally either. But, living immediately by the bus stop is most helpful, and if I emerge from the house, as the bus is coming round the corner, it will wait for me I have discovered!!
Bath time.. I may discover I'm green and orange stripy, too!
