Bedroom, Bedroom, Bedroom

It's nearly finished!

Today, my step dad put up my blind, my curtains, mirrors, clock, shelves, lights and telly brackets! He only came over to do the blind haha!

It looks amazing, so much nicer with some of the finishing touches in place, just need to wait for my bedding and other set of furniture!! I will upload photo's when the bedding arrives, at the moment it just looks silly with brown bedding on!  Bedding should hopefully arrive tomorrow as it was Dispatched on Saturday.

All in all today has been a very uneventful day.  I have thought about her, but not as much as yesterday.  I saw she liked something on Facebook and my gut did a few somersaults but that was all!

Spent some of the day at work, some of the day decorating my room and some of it trying to arrange where I'm going for NYE.  Can't believe how quick it's crept up on me.  Feels like everything is coming so fast, pretty soon it'll be valentines day (Eugh) and then my birthday (Yay!)

I think I'm going up to my SIL (my side) for NYE.  Spend it with her and my nephew and niece.  Get drunk, get merry and laugh.  That's what I think I need.

I'm kind of frightened that my floating shelves are going to fall on my head tonight...they're not quite flush with the wall and they're worrying me! I guess if I wake up with a bump in the morning I'll know why!

My bite didn't come out any more, I was quite disappointed since it hurt so much!  Still have a lump and the red teeth marks - god that child can bite!

I wonder if she's still reading this? I wonder if she wants to know what I'm doing?  I really hope that my every second thought will stop being about her soon.  I really do.  It's getting annoying now!

I wonder if she's going to keep my name? I have no idea how I'm going to feel if she changes it on Facebook, I think I'll be gutted.

My Job

Thought I'd change things up a bit today and talk a little about my job.  I'm an escort (love telling people that!) for children with special needs.  I take them to and from school, and also to respite.

Today I was taking one of my regular kids, she's autistic and was going to respite (time away from her family to give her mum a break).  The journey is approximately 45 minutes to an hour long.  I got bit.  She is known for biting, but she doesn't ever give you any warning.  I don't mean that most kids will go "I'm going to bite you now" I mean, she's not aggressive or agitated at all, she's all smiling and then CHOMP!


The bruise wasn't quite out there, I'm expecting it to look worse tomorrow.  Now you can see all the teeth marks - and god knows what she did to the middle bit, it looks a bit like a hickey, but she wasn't sucking, so I have no idea!

She's a lovely kid, and this hasn't put me off working with her, it just really, really, bloody hurt!

Did some more in my bedroom today, even though I felt like crap.  I don't know if it was just the fact that I didn't sleep well last night (was up every hour - Grrrr!) or whether things are catching up with me now.  I hope it's the former and not the latter.

The feature wall is almost finished now, just a few touch ups and the white needs another coat and it'll be all done!  Tomorrow I'm going to put the TV bracket back up, instead of watching it on a chair! Also my blind and curtains need to go up so I'm not getting undressed in front of a wide open window!


Oh, I'm also going to break up the large blue stripe in the middle with a black stripe.  Unless anyone else has a suggestion? I'm open to ideas, I just know it needs breaking up.  Normally, I'd ask her.

It has been really weird today, I haven't spoken to her at all.  I talked to her yesterday about her sister and I think it upset her a bit, but she didn't want to talk to me about it, even though I repeatedly asked if she was ok.  I've wanted to message her all day.  But I haven't.  I've checked Facebook to see if she's been on, she has, but hasn't written anything.  It's not just her being here I miss.  I miss talking to her too.  I miss being able to go "OMG, this just happened!".  I feel like I've got no one to laugh with at the moment.  And no one to watch scary movies with - which is something I'm really missing.

More work tomorrow in the morning, with the same kid.  I pray that I don't get bitten! It still bloody hurts!

Paint, Pain and Pleasure (Couldn't find a synonym for happy beginning with a P)

Today has been a good day, My mother came over early this morning.  Early to me is like 8.30. To my mother, that's about 7.11 - That's what time she rang me to say she was leaving.  I was not impressed.

We began by cleaning my room again, and then building the chest of drawers, bedside cabinet and wardrobe.  Now, when my mum ordered this, it was shown with a double bed.  As I have previously mentioned, I was not happy about the one bedside cabinet.  We now know why.  It's child size.  Yes, the chest of drawers comes just above my knee.  I am nearly as tall as the wardrobe, and I can't fit my pants and socks in the same drawer!

I don't have a picture now, but I will upload one, it's hilarious.  It probably took us longer to build it because we were laughing so much!

Then came the paint - we gave the dark wall a second coat of white and did all around the really annoying radiator pipes.  Then it was off to Homebase.

We got 7 colours mixed.  They are bright - this is going to be my feature wall.

We had to frog tape all the lines so that when we peeled off the tape it didn't take the paint off.


Yes, I am having that many stripes on my wall!

And here is what I've done so far...


It looks amazing! The fuchsia at the bottom needs another coat, and so does the orange, and there's still green, black, more blue and more orange to go in it!  It's going to be amazeballs!

Then...a bit of a downer.  I go to plug my TV in, to go to bed and watch telly.  Now, my TV means a lot to me.  I would've flipped before I was alone, now I'm on my own, even more so.  I was gutted.  Going to watch TV on the iPad for tonight...hopefully mum can fix it tomorrow.

So I was all ready to cry, feeling like shit.  But then...

I had messaged her during the day to check she was ok after yesterday, she was, asked how I was, told her I missed her, wanted to see her etc.  She ignored it, I asked her if she'd done any thinking today, she ignored it.  I asked her if she wanted to meet me sometime this week, just to spend some time together, she ignored it.  So, by now I'm pretty pissed off.  So I message her, not angrily, just upset and say, you could just write no instead of ignoring me, that's not very nice.  She writes back - "Ok, I'm free tomorrow evening".  Wait, what?

Yup, she's agreed to see me, she told me not to read too much into it, and I'm not - I don't think. But I do know that I'm excited as a kid at Christmas right now.  Not a lot can happen here to dampen this mood.

Hopefully I'll be a bit later on the blog tomorrow, if things go well!

A Room With A View

I've recently been introduced to the idea of a 'mood board', now with my history of mental health I automatically assumed this was something to do with my mood - but it's not.  If you don't know what a mood board is; type it into Google and take a look.
