It has been a completely manic couple of days!! But it is 8 p.m on Wednesday night and both children are asleep and I have finished unpacking EVERYTHING! I am so happy!! I have worked solidly for the last two days and I am so pleased it is all done. And, just in time too … Mel (my sister) arrives tomorrow morning at 3 a.m. What a nice reward after working like crazy since Monday. My entire body aches ... I have a sty on my eye, a sore on my lip and several cuts and bruises on my legs, but I finished unpacking all 95 boxes!! You can't imagine the relief that I feel and the bliss of having all of our belongings around us!
I still have a few little things to do such as putting up curtains and sorting out the kitchen shelves but they're all little things that I can do in my own time. I just wanted to get everything sorted so we weren't surrounded by boxes and suitcases. A few things were damaged in transit. The worst thing is my electric piano got damaged – the keyboard has fallen down on one side away from the wooden stand. It's really hard to explain but I'm so upset about it. I'm going to try and claim some insurance on it as I only bought it less than a year ago. Also, our glass clock was broken and one of our large picture frames was smashed. The other thing is – it's so bizarre – I can't find Abigail's play gym. I feel like I'm going mad as I know it was packed by the movers but it doesn't seem to be here. How is that possible?! It's a huge toy with arches?!?! I'm going to have a look again tomorrow in the store room to make sure I didn't miss it, but I don't see how I could have.
Not much news from here really. I haven't been out apart from walking to the compound supermarket and going over to someone else's apartment to pick up some stuff I bought; that's it. My whole existence over the past three days has just been working to get everything done. So, on that note, I was going to go to bed but my dad is now calling me on Skype so I'm going to go and talk to him and then go to bed.
Goodnight x
