How much can happen in a week? Well, quite a lot. Firstly me and mike have been plagued by a really bad cold. Or really, i got the cold and then passed it on to him, and it led on to me having two days off work, and then get called in to work the Saturday for a long shift (witch i shouldn't have accepted because it ended with another two days of coughing agony) and this cold also made him having one day off work. But we haven't let the cold hold us back.

I also want to tell you before i really get in to writing this post that the house is getting on really well and the floor is currently going in. We now expect to be moved in fully at the 17th of September. (Me and mike will move in there the 10th anyway to look after the place and hopefully bring some stuff there).
I have a picture of the floor for you.

Mikes grandparents arrived last Tuesday, so they have now been here a week. They also brought the rains, and we're not complaining. The dry season this year is going to be a long one again im pretty sure. I have a feeling it will be anyway. Im going to be happy if im proved wrong. They have settled in really well, and are (as we are) looking forward to getting in to the new house. 

The Wednesday after they arrived me and mike both had the day off and we filled that day with a long adventure starting when we got out of bed at 7am. Driving across the city to a doctors appointment, make some bookings for that. After that it was a short stop back at home and i called the place i had an interview at a while ago. And then we jumped in to the car again for a meeting with the Photographer.  After that we had lunch, and headed of to meet with the decorator, but by my mistake we got lost in the completely wrong direction. Since i never know where i am or what the places are called (still, i know I've been here a long time but I've never really had time to learn the areas and where they are in relation to each other), so after finally getting to where we were going, and mikes phone with the GPS dying half way there, and there was some frustrating moments trying to find it in the map book. and on top of that the fuel in the car was down on the last line on the meter. The decorator was a very nice lady, and so was her husband and kids. After our meeting she told us some directions to a petrol station so we could get some fuel and get ourselves home. 

Thursday and Friday i called in sick, as I've already written earlier in this post. I also had my hair trial early Friday morning. It turned out nice, but im not going to say what its going to be like right here and now. All im going to say is that im happy with how its going to turn out. You will get to see it when the time comes, ill make sure ill post one of our wedding photos.

On the Saturday, they called me in to work, with my cough and everything, Desperately wanted me to get on top of the mess. Because there had been no one (trained Deli staff) working in the Deli while i spent my time off work being busy being sick. For one i think that's really disappointing, since every one else seems to be able to call in sick without worry, i mean im there covering their shifts. But then when i absolutely shouldn't work, there's no one that even bothers to show up. Secondly id like to say its a nightmare being so relied on, because they will call me and almost order me to come in to cover someone. 

Anyway disregard my tiny fit about that and well get back to the telling. So i went to work, working a long shift because they asked me to, got physically sick at work, still stayed to work my hours. By the time i was going home i almost coughed my lungs out, and could barely breathe.

I apologize mom but i went to bed when i got home, that's why i didn't get online at all. At least you know now.

Sunday morning after a proper nights sleep we handed the cake topper to the lady who does our cake, after that i spent the rest of the day sitting still, doing all the payments we had to get done, like rent and the photographer and so on. I also started making the cake boxes turn in to their finished state. I still have a lot of them to go but im sure ill get  there eventually. We also got a call that evening that an agent were coming Tuesday to have a look at the rental we are staying in. So every one (except me because i was told to stay where i was) started cleaning up for that.

Yesterday, Both me and my love called in sick. and he had to go to the doctor to get a sick note, and he also got a prescription for hes hay fever medication, its starting to become springtime soon and he will need it. 

Later that day i went to bed because of a belly ache and didn't wake up until when it was time to go to bed anyway, so i went to bed again and slept a long sleep. So this morning and all day today I've been feeling like its getting better. Finally. Today we have had that house inspection and the agent was a very friendly person. Today we have also been preparing for tomorrow, because that's the day Mike will go to the hospital for a scheduled procedure. 

So tomorrow ill be sitting in the waiting room, and wait for them to tell me its ok to go sit by him when he wakes up. Hes very nervous, and i try not to be, because right now i have to be the strong and calm and soothing person he needs me to be. Its going to be plenty of time for me to vent it while hes asleep.

So goodnight every one, i need to be getting some sleep, tomorrow will be a long day.

Also i would like to tell you before i go that its now only 24 days to the wedding.

Goodnight.
