Started training for my new role today. So far we have just been sat around in the class room but I think it could turn out to be something that I will thoroughly enjoy and could be the foundations of a new career.
Got home after a big shop at Tesco and started to take down the tree. May I point out mine was the first house to have decorations up in November and came down on the 12th night. I do love my tree. I have said one year I will leave it up and on 12th night change it to a Valentine Tree, then an Easter Tree , Summer Solstice Tree, Halloween Tree and can enjoy it year round. I have dismantled it which takes forever and bagged up all the decorations but the tree's box is in the garage and it was pouring with rain and I decided it was best not get a cardboard box wet. So will have to box that up and retire it to the loft for another year this evening. Its down at least and in pieces.
I was clearing up the last of the mess when the phone went and my darling Dusan was on the phone. Today is his home port day (Saturdays) and officially mail day. His Christmas card had still not arrived and Monday is his 27th Birthday so his Birthday card was due Saturday too. He said he had received neither! :-( We talked for 15 minutes. With less than 2 weeks till his back from the ship I think we are both getting excited now. Its been 3 months since I saw him last on the 12th so you can imagine how much we are missing each other. This would be officially the half way mark if he were staying without leave. April seems so far far away.
He will call again tomorrow for his birthday and so I have that to look forward to.
Today is my 5th day in a row of 10 of early starts. I will miss my lie in on the weekends but its worth it in the long run. When I think Dusan has had to be up at 530AM every morning for 3 months. Bless him. He says his looking forward to not shaving for a single day. On the ship they have to shave twice daily. This week I had 2 days off with it being New Years, other wise it would have been a run of 12 days up early. Now tell me, why can I never sleep through from 11:00 - 7:00 ? I always wake up and start to clock watch. I was going to have a glass of wine last night to help but then fell asleep on the sofa and then couldn't sleep later. I think I have messed my body clock up somewhat. I am sure that I will sleep better this week. Exhaustion will kick in.
I'm off to get ready for my second days training. Hope your having a great New Year.
With love
Neil
