UP: Have started a major clear out. Sent misc. household items to my cousins' yard sale. Have about 6 bags (3 winter coats plus shoes, boots, etc.) to go to Goodwill.

IA: My house is still cluttered and my closet is still crammed full  :(

IA: Discovering my passport expires 1 day before I go to the USA
UP: Finding out I should be able to renew it in plenty of time
IA: Realising the chance of finding a place in Crewe that can take American Passport photos will be slim
UP: Finding a place pretty easily
IA: Long wait at place to have passport photo taken
UP: No charge for passport photo due to the long wait!!!  ;D
UP: Application all completed and in the post
IA: nervous wait for new one

Okay-- so I got a bit carried away with IA and UPs but it felt like a rollercoaster throughout it all!!!!

UP: Finally got my sleep study results!

IA: I have mild/moderate sleep apnea. (Apparently I wake up 15x/hour, which sounds quite bad to me!) Will need to see an ENT specialist to figure out the next course of action.

IA: Our shipping company wanted to pick up our shipment on Tuesday morning. My husband tells me this at 4pm on the Thursday before Easter. Lots of businesses are closed Friday and Monday here. Where do we get 15 boxes on Easter weekend? Not to mention my in laws are coming this weekend, so we're supposed to pack and entertain them? I also need to wash/dry a bunch of clothes that are a bit dusty (i.e. moldy) prior to packing them.

UP: DH got them to push it back to Friday. Whew!

UP: BF got a pay raise!

IA: he suddenly went from hating his job and wanting a new one to liking his current one again. This means the likeliness of him trying to get a job in London (closer to mine) is now pretty non-existant. And I hate living this far away from work. :(

UP: Finally got a haircut, which I've been putting off for ages.

IA: She took off a bunch, and did layers, which I haven't had for years. I think I like it, but it'll take some getting used to.

UP: I'm making Hrudka (Slovak egg cheese) for Easter, just like my grandmother always does, because my uncle sent me a recipe with step by step photos! I'm excited because it's looking like the pictures.

IA: It said that it would take 20-30 minutes to turn into curds and whey, and it has now been approximately an HOUR. It's nearly done, but I can't believe how long it's taking!

UP: Finally got an annoying mole on my shoulder blade removed today that I've had ever since I can remember.  It took no time and wasn't nearly as scary as I was thinking it might be (though I never let on how nervous I was, because I like to at least pretend to be a brave and easy-going patient  :))

IA: The local anesthetic has worn off.  It's ouchy, and in such a place that I can't move my right arm too much because of the stitches and the pain.  I'm not quite sure how I'm going to make dinner tonight.  Should be an adventure!  ::)

IA: I have a nasty cold! I'm out of tissues and my nose is sore from all the TP and kitchen roll  >:( :( :\\\'( Ouchy waaa waaaaa! (drama! I know....)
 
UP: I just did a Tesco order and got a bunch of soft tissues and meds in for tomorrow.

IA: the only bookings they had left were for tomorrow night!

UP: only working 3 days this week so hopefully I can recover by Friday night.

UP: Got the job I wanted

IA: They keep pushing back the start date! I need the income pretty badly right now as all the expensive "hoop-jumping" has completely wiped out our saving now!

Congrats, Amberelle!

UP: Maxwell caught a mouse this morning and was tossing it around the kitchen

IA: DH had to execute the coup de grace -- but it was a cute mouse  :\\\'(
