rambles about dad and decorating

so…it’s good to be at home. I love it. Even if I do want to strangle my dad. This is one thing Ihave not missed…mornings with just me and dad in the house. He’s lonely. He’s on afternoons to lates so he is in the house with just me all morning and into the afternoon (and I try to avoid him) then he’s in the train cab on his own for hours. He comes home just a little before my mum goes to bed to get up for work in the morning (she does wait for him to get home) and then it all starts again while he’s on this shift. So…when I’m about…it’s an opportunity to talk to someone. But it is also the morning…with a teenage daughter…who hates mornings…and is on her period…good luck.

no, haha, my dad is very hyper and is very much a morning person. and he has a habit of changing topics every few seconds in a ‘conversation’. Before I can answer he’s either carrying on or starting something else.

dad : is it workin bunting?
me : i havent…
dad: coz mum said it aint
me: yeah i…
dad: she said you busted it
me: well…
dad: you tried it again?
me: i would…
dad: so is it broken?
me: i dont…
dad: coz if it is…oh did i mention to you about Steeley?

ARGH!!! let me tell you the friggin story and you might actually find out if it’s broken and what actually happened! and this goes on aaaaaall the time. he’s just hyper and can’t sit still and cant keep onto the same topic of conversation. he knows the answers but he asks them anyway…but doesnt really require an answer. and even if he gets one, he doesnt listen to it. oh and my dad shouts. ALL THE TIME.

did i mention i love being home?

was planning on doing more decorating this morning. i had to have a day off yesterday coz i pretty much sat about all day clutching my stomach. and now…my paintbrushes have disappeared. man i hate this house sometimes. cant people just leave stuff where it is? never thought i left the paintbrushes there so i knew where they were? or…if you’re gonna move them…can you put them somewhere i can see them or tell me where you’ve put them? please??

going shopping later with my mother though. looking for some pink fabric to make stuff out of (cushions, throw and to cover my existing cushions on my chair in my room) for my bedroom. it’s gonna take me so long to decorate this room. things move so slowly in this house. but ihave heat, i have a new wall, i have new furniture, i am now glossing everything, i have picked te paint for 3 walls and got the patterned wallpaper for the other wall, have canvases to cover in the wallpaper to put on another wall, i have my new light. i just have to get carpet, curtains, bedside light and little things to tie it all together…oh and ACTUALLY DECORATE rather than just get stuff…hehe. but it’ll be fine. I’m excited about my new room. and I am in love with my wallpaper.

im rambling and putting off searching for my paintbrushes. best get on
