Clearing the shed and sorting the garden

The night shift went really well again. The twins settled off to sleep really well and Wolfie did not wake before I went to bed. I also managed to relax for a bit and read. I am really enjoying the Han Solo book. The story is beginning to develop nicely and so far the pace is good but not too fast.

The twins slept well through the night but unfortunately Wolfie woke up at 4.30. I am not sure why he is waking up early in the morning but I am hoping that it will stop soon. If it does not sort itself I will have to have a look at what we can do to help him sleep longer.

I fed the twins before I got up and when I got up Devil boy made breakfast for me. I browsed the Internet while I had that and after breakfast I changed Wolfie and then sorted out the twins.

Wolfie was getting increasingly cranky and even though I got lunch ready for us all he did not seem interested in what he had got. I knew that he was tired so after I ate my lunch I decided that I would get him to take a nap. Thankfully I managed to get him off for a nap. I was happy about that as I managed to get to read more of Lord of the rings. They are in Moria mines at the moment. I am enjoying it more now that I am reading it in bits that when I first read it all in one go. I am also taking in more as well.

I went out to the shops in the afternoon. I just went out by myself. It is a good walk to the shops and I like getting the exercise. When I got back Wolfie was up from his nap and I got a snack for him which he decided that he would not only not eat but that he would also find a new home for in the cassette player in my stereo.

I then decided that I would clean that out tomorrow as that will be rather a fiddly job and start clearing out the shed. I unfortunately was not really in the mood for clearing out and while I managed to get some clearing out and put a cardboard box into the recycle bucket I could not make much progress. Wolfie then came out in to the garden so I decided to sort out the fence at the bottom of the garden. I managed to get it mostly secured at the bottom. I think I will have a day working on the garden tomorrow.



Devil boy went out after we’d had dinner and while I was changing the twins I lost my temper at Wolfie when he was getting in the way. I felt really bad as he was only trying to help. I said sorry strait away and I gave him a kiss and a cuddle. He was funky again very soon and while I was feeling the twins he was lying on the floor with a blanket over him and I got him to pretend snore. It was very cute and he was giggling at me when I was making snoring noises.

Devil boy got back in time to bathe Wolfie but tonight he did not settle off well so I needed to go through to him. I decided to read to him tonight and he settled off funkily after that. I then went for a lovely soak in the bath.

I have managed to resist the temptation to eat chocolate today. At some points it was really hard and I at times had to eat something to take my mind off it. It will take time but the longer I manage to resist chocolate the easier it will get. I think it is amusing though I found it much easier to quit smoking that stop eating chocolate. Someone could offer me a cigarette and I would not think twice when saying no thank you but if someone offered me some chocolate it would take a lot of will power to say no. I am getting there though.


I have changed and fed the twins and they are nicely settled off now. I am going to browse the Internet for a few minutes before reading for about half an hour before going to bed.
