At 3 am we woke up,
around 3:30 am he still had to wash and dry his hair, after 4 am we left. The sun came up and it was no longer dark.
Write me a letter I'm allowed to drive in your car, I said yesterday, it took hours. Why search on the internet if you can write three lines yourself?
The eldest didn't pay me back again, this time someone hit the rental car. I have a terrible year, the text said. True? I don't think so. Each time in trouble everyone donates money, high amounts, food vouchers, all kinds of stuff to be creative, a sewing machine of 1200 euros, food vouchers for 3000 euros. If you ask me there's nothing to complain. I have to beg to pay my money back and should be grateful if I receive 25 euros per month. No way I'll fall for it again.
Back to waking up early, leaving at 4 am to be in the city at at least 5 am... Of course, we arrived a bit later.
Where are they?
Over there, I'll walk and park the car here, you can leave... Are you sure you manage without me?
No worries, I'll stay home (a house to clean is waiting for me, hurray everyone is gone 🤐).
You can do as you like, throw away, set on fire as long as you stay out of my room.
I didn't answer and I wasn't asked to repeat what was said like my mother always wanted me to do...at least three times.
4:07 am
Guess, what I've been doing?
I had a good drive home. Not many people on the road. It was extremely light at 5 am. Aldi and Lidl are still closed so no need to have a look. I don't think I will cook this week or will eat much. I have water, tea and cheese. If I don't cook there's nothing to clean.
I bagged the quilts, opened the windows (it's not raining anymore), did the dishes and did a load of laundry.
Note: all the laundry is not mine.
I went into the forbidden room.
What happened to that clean child? I shouldn't have stopped threatening with the trash bag (if you don't clean up now I'll be there in 1 hour and throw everything away)....
I have already gained an inner vest (of a raincoat) with two inner pockets and a spotty green Minecraft vest (jacket). He won't fit into those anymore or isn't wearing them. The Minecraft still has the label in it.
How many spiders are there in an average home again?
I don't see any where are they hiding? Yesterday I caught two in the bathroom. I do see sand, rag and lots of dust. Time to get rid of that! I will not do the entire room, each day a bit. Most tools have to move out of this room. The question is to where?
Since cleaning, I can't stop sneezing.
Back home around 6 am. The poppies are still wet of the rain.
Around 7 am I receive a text message: we didn't leave yet.
Both (rented?) passenger buses are out of refrigerant. Nice arrangement all around (not). I hope those teachers know how to drive a car and abroad.
The eco-car is packed in a tarp and is on the roof of one of the vans. I hope it won't be disqualified since it had quite a lot of issues and some parts had to be changed to comply with the set rules.
Around 8 am another text
We are on the M7 (I believe it's M)
What country, Hungary?
Yes
A safe journey
Since longer the tomcat doesn't feel well. For the next days he has to live with me. Around 1 pm he jumps on my lap. I wonder if he suffers from earmites or something else.
I replanted the small lettuce, I hope it grows (most likely not), picked the last strawberries and ate them straight from the plants plus hung two carpets outside.
It's tea time. I'll see how long I can stay awake. If tired I fall asleep from one moment to the next.
The box with clothes and other stuff I'll put in the guesthouse and later I'll see if the laundry dried. The grass is still wet.
At 11:22 am I received a text: we crossed the border and are in Slovenia, no internet
They will drive to Italy and most likely stay overnight at a camping?
It's tea time. I'll see how long I can stay awake. If tired I fall asleep from one moment to the next.
I plan to do a lot while I am home alone. I hope not too many will text me. I lile to have more time for me as well. The box with clothes and other stuff I'll put in the guesthouse which I clean out/up another time and later I'll have a look at the laundry. The cherry liquor still needs to be bottled, no idea if it tastes. Can be I do it tonight.
