What day is it again?

It's Monday...probably.

I had my first shower in three days this morning. I've been so busy with additional work hours that while my second move went like a military operation, I still haven't had time to unpack and move in properly, let alone get to the store to buy a shower curtain...until yesterday that is. "Moving in properly," also includes things like finishing unpacking to the extent that I can walk from one side of the room to the other without having to walk on the bed. It would include NOT running out of medication, which happened the day before yesterday so I'm typing, from work, in withdrawal or "discontinuation syndrome" as my shrink calls it. It would include being able to find something, or anything in my home. It would include having fresh groceries in the fridge. It would include ordering internet access in advance and after thorough research rather than just ordering Rogers for two days from now.

If I sound a little peeved it's because I've been struggling to scrunch everything in around work. Since starting, my hours have been increased and whilst I seem to be doing quite well, when the thought of asking for a day off crosses my mind I suddenly feel like Oliver Twist, asking for more. I even organised both moves to happen on my day off. Yesterday I had to beg for half an hour during the time the store was open so I could get to the hardware shop across the road. I struggled back with a mailbox, grounding cable for the mixer, sponge and squeegee for the windows, bathmat, shower curtain, doormat, light bulbs, dusters, door wedges, surge protectors, plus more I can't even remember. This will all pass I'm sure, once I can get everything organised. I just have to hang on for today and tomorrow and then I get two days off on the trot so hopefully I can get caught up. It's really pissing me off though. My place is a mess, and not being able to lay my hands on things whenever I need them is driving me nuts.

I'm too tired to relish the place at the moment, although it is still nice to come home and not have to worry about working around someone else and their own schedule.

More updates will follow when I finally get web access at home.
