donnalotusBusy day today, well, mostly. I have the next 15mins to basically sit and pray I don't throw up my breakfast and vitamin, then I'm off to set up training, followed by more culling of hardcopy training materials we don't need to transport to the new office (the recycle bin is now 2/3 full) and then lunch, off to another meeting, followed by coffee and catchup with one of our trainers, and then home, where I'm likely to crawl into bed and sleep. Because I didn't really sleep well last night.
I keep thinking I should take that referral from my Doctor and see about setting up my first pre-natal appointment with a midwife. But I so couldn't be bothered. It's like, they make you jump through 1000 hoops, and I just think "Who the heck has time for this? If I'm not working, I'm sleeping people!" So yeah, of two minds on that. While it's probably the "missing" link in the pregnancy that would maybe make me stop thinking that I'm going to miscarry at any time, there's also the idea that it's also just not something I'm interested. I should probably take some pre-natal classes too, but meh, I think they're only designed to scare the crap out of you, and I'm trying to go the whole Law of Attraction "everything is going to be smooth, easy, and fantastic!" Which isn't what they tell you in pre-natal.
Michael's mother's newest thing is she has now decided she can save herself some hotel fees by sending a bed to the new house, and she can just live in the house until her furniture arrives weeks later. Apparently, she has decided that all she needs to survive is a bed and her computer with internet. Exactly how she's going to get back and forth from the town to the house to get food is beyond me because I'll be here, 4 hours away, working - and her car will be in transit (hence why we were looking at self-contained holiday units across the road from the shops in town). How she plans to cook, serve and refrigerate said food is also beyond me.
She also decided that since Michael wouldn't buy her a bed she likes (she wants us to buy her a single bed for her spare room) she's going to order one online and just have it sent to our current address and we can ship it with the rest of our stuff. Well that's fine MIL, if you want it around the time YOUR FURNITURE arrives because we're not shipping EVERYTHING the minute we close because I'M not moving immediately. She's been told this. The idea was for Michael to use his bed, desk, etc. which is coming over with her stuff until I move into the main house with Grandma and ship our stuff down to Lakes. Quite where we're supposed to store this bed in the meantime is amusing me as well, she obviously doesn't comprehend the idea of "Mum, picture your living room and kitchen area. And then try to work it into your drugged out pea-sized brain that THIS IS OUR LIVING SPACE IN ENTIRETY". No extra bedrooms, no extra room for bathroom or kitchen or anything else. That's it. All our stuff including our bed, kitchen, living space, bathroom, currently has to fit into her current livingroom. So there literally isn't any room for another bed, unless it's going on the back porch.
She frustrates the hell out of me. Obviously.
I still think we're making a big mistake moving now, especially since after talking to my oldest friend in the world last night, who will be about 2 hrs away from where we'll be, I realised we don't really have much in common anymore. The same to be said of all my high school friends who ARE in the area we're moving to. I don't have a lot of people I call close friends anymore, and so I get this sinking feeling that I'm just going to be very lonely without the girls from Circle nearby. Meh.
