Crazed Kitten

Things are so busy at the moment. Or maybe it just seems that way without Mr K here to help me with things. I take him for granted sometimes and only realize just how much I depend on him when he is not here.
He is away for 3 weeks, 21 days…but who is counting? Me that’s who!
The one good thing about his going is that I refused to put up with his friend ‘J’ while Mr K was not even here and so J has moved off to a B&B. His last night in our home was also Mr K’s last night before his trip and his friend was so obtuse he couldn’t even catch a clue that I wanted some alone time with my hubby before he left. He stuck to Mr K like a feckin limpet until I threw a bit of a wobbly and then he finally went off to bed. (He sleeps in a garden flat so we cannot put the alarm on or go to bed until he does.)
But on his way out he made sure he grabbed the last cold cider out the fridge, he didn’t dispose of any of the 7 bottles he had already drank (which I bought) or restock the fridge for the next person. OMG he annoys me.
Before he went outside he mentioned that he had a date on Sunday! I had gotten wind that he had spent the entire Halloween party asking out my friends. WTF dude?! You are married! So when he told me he had a date on Sunday I asked if his wife knew? He said ‘it is all in innocence nothing to hide.’ So I asked again – does she know? I quickly realized no, she hadn’t a clue.
I am not a jealous person – Mr K travels a lot and has a lot of female colleagues. If I was jealous it would make me crazy wondering what he is up to. But I trust him. However if I heard that he had been in a social environment while overseas and had spent the whole time chatting up women and asking them out for dates, I would snip off his bollocks with my nail scissors.
The really dull ones.
Needless to say I told my friend that J was married and that was the end of his ‘date’. The annoying little feckwit of a scumbag.
What else is going on….oh yes I won a month long design course by retweeting and I asked R to join me. We were not happy about getting up so early on a Saturday as it starts at 9 but once we got there and got into it I was very happy I did. It is 4 half day sessions and the project I have chosen is my kitchen and scullery. It is serviceable but very unattractive and bland. At some stage I want to gut it and redo it. Tonight we have to make mood boards for our project.
But any remodeling will have to wait as Mr K has been told the company that funds his NGO is in a bit of difficulty and may close. It now appears his NGO will be able to carry on solo but it is still a huge level of stress until it is confirmed he will have a job. I have 3 weeks leave booked in Dec-Jan and as a contractor I do not get paid, so if he is out of work I can’t take off or we will have no money coming in.
The girls are in the middle of exams and are highly stressed, Lily has an event which she is putting on for her end of year project, we have another houseguest coming next week and we have tickets for Janet Jackson. I’m also hosting book club, so this month is just chock full of chaos.
But I am blessed to have such a wonderful husband, a fabulous family and friends and a job. Everything else will just have to work itself out.
