Today I woke up… did all of the essential morning stuff… staggered into work half asleep fully expecting it to be Wednesday. You can imagine my disappointment when I was informed that it was only Tuesday… what a rip. HOWEVER I was slightly relieved because Wednesday is fire alarm testing day and I sit right underneath one of the alarms. Then I was of course saddened when I realised that such a trivial point of annoyance actually made me feel better about it not being closer to the weekend. I am so very lame.

At least I had a very productive weekend anyway. Finally put things in my webstore, (including tiny fat owl keychains) and put a lot of work into my webpage [link] to make it more attractive and easier to navigate. I also put up another 7 ACEO listings on eBay (which may or may not sell) all starting at £5.

My incredible husband is in the kitchen making my dinner because I lack the motivation to do it myself. He’s also doing dishes and laundry WITHOUT being asked. It really makes me feel like an inadequate spouse but not to the extent that I am inspired to assist because that would mean leaving the comfort of my bed and laptop.

I’m really homesick. It is so beautiful in Rhode Island right now and full of life… because the American population hasn’t managed to wipe out all the indigenous living creatures just yet (give them a few more centuries). I’m coming up on 4 years in this country and it’s not home but it’s where I have made a commitment to stay. It’s strange really… people here don’t know me. They know an idea of me or what they would like to see in me but they don’t know anything about where or what I’ve come from. My boss has never even seen my CV. I have to admit … escaping the unfair stigmas of my hometown and the threat of my evil parents showing up on my doorstep has had an incredible positive impact on my general well being however, nothing here will ever replace Rhode Island or the family that I left behind.

Take care All …
