Boiler

The boiler guys arrived about half-eight this morning. The dog went nuts, so I put her on the small courtyard at the end of the garden, from whence we could hear her squeaking all day.

I had pretty much back to back meetings all day and it was really difficult to hear what was said over the drilling and talking that was going on behind me.

I was working in the kitchen, since the whole lounge and dining area has only a sofa and a table in it and no power.

I also really cold, since the boiler chaps left the back door open to let the smell of the welding out – I was just freezing all day!

Halfway through the day my headset decided to pack up. I was then left completely unprotected from the background noise.

I also didn’t drink enough during the day because I couldn’t get to the kettle until the afternoon.

I’m now feeling really quite tired, stressed, and a bit headachey.

However, we have a working boiler! For which I am very grateful!

Husband is home

At three-thirty in the afternoon, while the boiler guys were finishing off I had a message from my husband “I’ve just dropped my suitcase in and have gone to Coffee#1.

He’d come home a day earlier even than I’d expected.

When the boiler guys finally left and he’d came home, we had a nice long hug.

I did miss him, but I am super anxious about sharing a space with him again.

It seems that he’d come home early because he was always stressed about whether his medication would be delivered on time and to the right pharmacy, but also because the staff were mostly agency workers and they didn’t speak English well enough for him to teach it to them when he needed to.

Even the permanent staff were practically unavailable – so he felt just as alone there as at home.

He might go back for a short while tomorrow; he’ll decide tomorrow whether that’s what he’s going to do.

I am going to work from the flat tomorrow, since the washing machine works there.

I know everything in the house seems to be broken. We’ve fort the fridge freezer was broken since it was defrosting. Fortunately i only accidentally turned down the thermostat, self-raising me to wasted.

I really don’t know why, but I suddenly wanted to scream.

Today feels like it’s become too much.
