Trying to get things organised

The night shift started off the same as usual. I have noticed that the twins are at their most unsettled before bedtime (they are getting into a routine of sleeping for some time at night I think)

Elbereth though seemed to be very unsettled and it was about 2.30 before I managed to get her settled in her basket. I was just about to get off to sleep myself when Malach woke up. I just decided to pu him in be with me as I was exhausted by then. The good thing is that I managed to read quite a bit of the Star Wars book that I am reading. I am really enjoying it.

Malach settled nicely though and Elbereth slept though until 7am when Wolfie woke up so pretty much a good night for us all.

For some reason I was really tired and I slept until 11. I had planned to get up at 10 but I could not get up for then.

I managed to get Wolfie off for a nap and see to the twins nicely enough. Unfortunately though I did not manage to get out of the house in time. I had hoped to get out with the twins between 1 and 2 but it was nearly 2.30 when I left.

I went up to book an appointment to get the twins registered but when I got up to the office I was told that they no longer do that and I have to go to the next town to get it done. Thankfully we do not have to make an appointment but I would like to make sure that the certificates are handwritten like Wolfies was (It looks so funky)

I then went up to the school that I would like Wolfie to go to. Unfortunately I got there a bit too late so I will have to go again on Monday. I thought I was in the catchment area for the school but I am not. I am hoping that I will be able to get him to go there as I think it is a nicer school than the one he is supposed to be going to. We will see what happens on Monday.

After that I called in to see Devil boy’s grandma. She is lovely. We sat and chatted for ages about this and that before I went home. I always try to call in to see her when I am out and about as I do not get the chance to visit otherwise.

The twins remained settled for a while after I got home. Was chatting to a friend on the phone when Elbereth woke up but I managed to feed her while I was chatting on the phone. It was funky chatting to her as I have not spoken to her for a while.

Wolfie settled off funkily tonight and Devil boy has gone around to his friend’s house. He left a tin of lager for me to drink. I do not think I will drink another tin of lager for a while. It has gone right to my head and I am not enjoying this feeling. I cannot believe that I used to go out and get blitzed. I think it is rather funky how life can change and the many funky directions life can go in. Though after tonight I can see myself becoming a very occasional drinker and maybe even teetotal.

I have managed to get some cleaning up done in the kitchen when the twins have been settled (they have been good so far tonight) but I will leave cleaning the floor until tomorrow. The only thing that I have left to do is to see to the twins as and when I need and hopefully get them settled in their baskets tonight ready for the night shift.
