tired

a strange thing has happened recently, i have actually been tired when
i've gone to bed and managed to go to sleep fairly quickly. normally i
would lay there for hours thinking about anything and everything.

physical tiredness is so much better than mental tiredness. haven't
gone to sleep like this since i was a temp at electrolux and was
putting cookers onto to trailers.

although now i think i wish i could be somewhere inbetween. don't
wanna go to sleep so easily like to think a bit more and always have
loads to do. anyway will stop complaining, for a few lines anyway.

i went out for tea tonight with a mate while i was working in the
darlington office. had a good time, although felt guilty when my mam
and dad were working in my house, oops.

talking of mates from work, i am sad to see Robert from the Peterlee
office is leaving. i have got on really well the last few months and
will be sad to see him leave. although pleased he is going to be doing
something he obviously loves doing. he is going to America to coach
football, only problem with that is they call it soccer.

hopefully there's now somewhere to stay over there, cheap holiday.
wish him all the best.

anyway thats enough of that shit, whats been happening in the Horner
building site that is my house. hang on just pausing to wiggle my leg
to the music (Lacuna - celebrate the summer). if only someone could
see me now, lol. right sorry im diverting again.

right the kitchen finally feels like its getting somewhere. there are
few little bits to patch up on the walls then can paper with lining
paper ready to paint. there are a few tiles to grout but hopefully
nigel will do those tomorrow after we have fitted the front door. i
got a new glazing unit fitted in my living room window today. nearly
finished plaster boarding the ceiling under my stairs where my server
and networking equipment is to be located.

i managed to electrocute myself the other night when filling around a
socket with browning. some fell in the socket so tried to flick it out
but ended up with 240 volts through me instead, oops.

erm what else, the toilet is in and working or i hope its working
because my niece and nephew used it tonight!

lots of little things, its getting there but my deadline of the end of
the month to move in is fast approaching. not gonna be anywhere near
finished but want i+t just say livable.

went to b&Q with val from work the other day on dinner to look for
some paint. i didn't come away with much and the couple of test pots i
got looked shit, sorry val they did. can't see how the hell blue goes
with my kitchen either. are you sure you're not colourblind val?

joking aside i do need some help with paint im useless at trying to
imagine what a room will look like. i have a mate coming over next
week to help me choose some paint. i like what she has done in her
house and know she has very similar taste to me. think val is too
adventurous for me, im on about paint val!

my arm is falling of typing all this on my phone, yes its from typing
nothing else. guess i should go to sleep have to be up early to fit my
front door.
