Struggling to stay awake...

I don't think this is going to be much of a continuation from yesterdays post.
I had a terrible night of sleep. firstly the dog was barking at a possum from about 11pm to maybe 1:30am I can't count the amount of times I went out to tell her to just shut up. I begged, I pleaded, I growled nothing worked. To make things worse I had a killer toothache panadol and ibuprofen didn't seem to want to help budge it but I guess at some point I eventually did fall asleep.
Then I was awake again at 6:30am to start the day. I really am getting old. 10 years ago this was normal practice. getting little sleep & doing fine. now if I don't get my 8+ hours I am shocking.

We had a plumber due to arrive at 9am today and to my surprise he was here dead on 9. The bad thing is we need to have some major work done so it is going to be noisy for days. All the outdoor pipes & drains need to be replaced as they are old and useless. I say that with no exaggeration. Within minutes of a decent rain we have floods going on between the house and the granny-flat. It seeps in under the big glass windows and soaks the carpet. It is feral. I have towels which live by the window just in case it rains hard while we're out.

With the plumber being here using a jackhammer I don't see me getting a nap. Plus I still have so much to do today and before I know it... It's going to be time for the afternoon rush. Dinner will need to be prepped. Other half will come home dinner will need to be cooked.

I finished helping the little guy with his online journal (ok so it's a blog but he likes to call it a journal.) We now have all the pictures up from when he was in Melbourne. The last one (Not sequential) was the hardest. There were about 30 photos for the one day.
