Stuff

Last Friday was a good day. Finally got all my round of appointments done so that I can now fill in enrolment information for my course. Only took three weeks and three appointments after being accepted into the course. Not too bad for the government system - no actual sarcasm used in the making of the previous sentence. While I was in the third and last meeting, I received a call telling me I had been accepted into private dance tuition. Yippee!! Now, by the time my course starts I hope not to look like a broken chicken on the dance floor. Was so happy on Friday I needed an afternoon nap to recover from all of the excitement...

Now things are official, I am officially on a deadline and things are not looking good for these stripes. I need to have this room ready by the end of the month so that I can spend August preparing some stock for the business. I would like proof that I really can do the things that I believe I can do. I shall call this wholistic belief.

Just checked the calendar - this gives me until next saturday! I shall not panic. I shall not panic. Upon William's recommendation, I bought a quartz heater which shall help paint dry more quickly. Unfortunately, the instructions for the heater say not to actually go any closer to it than one metre. This may hinder the drying process just a little bit but it did heat the floor up a lot. This was a nice thing for a single girl to discover while at home on a Saturday night - my new heater warms floor boards very well...

William and Maree were over for a dinner party/sleepover on Friday night and they gave some helpful suggestions about stripe alternatives so that I don't go crazy trying to get these done. However, most of the suggestions were unhelpful and unprintable. You truly know that you will never grow up when the last thing you hear while falling asleep are two legal aged adults in the next room saying to each other, 'You're an idiot!' - 'I know you are but what am I?' Saturday we went house hunting as they are moving in together. William keeps telling us he is a good cook. I shall be spending the rest of today having delicious visions of future dinner parties while staring at a white floor and painting it even whiter...
