This year, we are not frantically preparing for a house full of guests because we are not doing Thanksgiving tomorrow. we are doing that on Saturday in Lincoln’s absence.
He is at a team building residential in Conwy Wednesday Thursday & Friday
So although Jamie and Me are on holiday tomorrow we intend to get the house ready and cook at a more sedate pace and hopefully be ready by 11am Saturday.
Fingers crossed!
Reagan and her bezzie mate Elouise are clearly planning their future and listening to Reagan talk about her dreams is sooo cute!
Next year when we are 14 we are going to work in the King’s Lock Chippy because we need to start saving money so that we can travel when we leave school.
We are going to definitely go to Hawaii and stay by the beach but Tailand Florida Australia are all part of the plan, I hope she achieves it all I really do!
What is definitely achievable is ironing your own school shirt and I spent 10 minutes tonight showing Reagan how to iron a shirt from setting the board up to why you would need extra steam or water sprayed on a crease.
I love that girl when she’s like she was tonight, I love her all the time but she makes it difficult to stay focused sometimes….just saying
After beginning the season, winning only once in six of the first games Theresa’s not a lot to celebrate and we were already looking at who was available in the 2024 draft but you eeally do have to trust the process in the NFL!
It is very difficult to win even a game in this league and almost impossible to recover from 1 and 5 to start a season but the Broncos have just beaten Green Bay, Kansas, Buffalo and Minnesota to regain parity after 10 games. It has been amazing to watch the team transform into a team who can find a way to win but it has been against 4 really good sides which just makes it all the more annoying to have lost against Kansas in Arrowhead and four of the not so good teams of 2023 but the process takes time…
We play The Browns on Sunday at 9:05 a very much more reasonable KO time than 01:15am last Tuesday morning and this morning but both were made a lot easier with tight games ending with the Broncos winning late in the 4th quarter.
I think it was a great thing to buy all the tools last week but I think it has scrambled my brain trying to plan what to do next to move forward. I have always just chipped away at the project but now I have got tools I can’t use without upgrading the temporary electrical supply to my shed which will probably cost quite a lot, and take time which doesn’t bother me. The thing is my shed is now rammed full of gear and requires sorting out which with the newly acquired gear should be a doddle but I need the electric sorting first. Same with the business dream it stalls behind space and power I’ll get there it will all shake out but a lot just happened and it takes a while to process
Up at 7am on a Saturday because Reagan wanted to go to horseriding early, she seems to have reignited her enthusiasm for it now the pressure of loaning has been removed, which is a good thing! Anyway Mommy took her to the stables and then went for a walk with Billy on the way home leaving me power washing the concrete between my shed and the bottom shed. It didn’t take long so I cleaned the concrete infront of Mommy’s shed too.
My mate was supposed to come around to advise me on safely upgrading the electrics in my shed but he bailed at the last minute so I ended up tidying the wood shed and cutting up all the scrap wood I gmhad laying around. Since I made such an early start it was still only 2pm when I had everything cleared away so helped Reagan clean her riding gear before putting the pressure washer away.
I went to sit down in my shed and watched a video on how to use the sharpening stone I acquired last weekend and spent an hour truing the stone before attempting to sharpen my very old blunt chisel. The results were amazing from completely dull to cutting paper effortlessly, making me think just how much easier wood working will be now I can easily and efficiently sharpen most tools…!
A couple of days ago Reagan and me had a moment over the Smiths and it was something I really enjoyed but didn’t realise just how much she enjoyed it too.
Mommy overheard a conversation between her and Lincoln where she said her and Dad love the Smiths and apparently she was disappointed when Lincoln said he liked the Smiths too.
She asked him not to say anything because this is mine and Dad’s thing don’t steal this off me!
I have thought a lot about this since hearing it because it makes feel happy I love anything I have in common and share with her!
With the kids in bed and Jamie out with her mates the TV was mine tonight and the Brawn GP story was my go to, on Disney+ Had a good bottle of wine to drink while watching it and had a good a night. Not sure how many episodes but with Jamie out for the next couple of nights it looks like my entertainment is sorted!
It’s Wednesday its 11o’clock and my pool team lost again and I have to stress it definitely is not losing that makes me sad far from it, what pisses me off are the shithouses we lose to!
Winsford Crewe Turnpike cunts all of them…
I am so excited about my shed, come workshop and the possibilities it holds for me, I know I need to sort the electrics out this weekend so I don’t burn down both buildings but beyond that I want to build something, something that people will go “Oh, actually that’s pretty good, I didn’t know he had it in him?”
I am obsessed with YouTube right now watching videos about whats possible with the tools I just bought and it all looks fantastic but up to now the only thing I’ve done is build a shed that’s no where near finished? My dream right now is just to make something to make anything and go “There that’s mine. I made that. That’s what I can do!”
Life and money get in the way sometimes but it costs nothing to dream…
Taylor Swift might not be my cup of tea but has awakened Reagans interst music, so much so that last night I came into the kitchen, and she was listening to The Smiths. I like these Daddy. What is this one called? I said this is Heaven knows I’m miserable now and we had a conversation about mine and her favourite tracks. I have noticed her tastes in music broadening since becoming obsessed with Taylor Swift and listening to music which is a good thing and if she continues liking stuff I like even better.
Always a struggle to get overly excited about watching the Broncos on Primetime because it means going to bed at 8pm and trying to get as much sleep as I can before 1:15am KO but a Monday night game means work all day beforehand followed by work all day Tuesday.
Anyway that’s what I am about to do so early to bed early to rise
