100 Days of Happiness 2020 - Day 48 - Saturday 14th March

It's all a bit weird right now, isn't it. Everything feels like one step forward, one step back, not sure whether you should step that way, one step... somewhere...

So my happy yesterday was that a t-shirt and hoodie and finds box I'd ordered from my women's-only metal detecting group arrived - and they fit! *g* Also, I made veggie crumble to take to my friend's for dinner, it went down well, and then we carried on watching Killjoys (with food saving in between), and that was nice. Just turning into her driveway was a happy thing - look at these daffs! And on the way back later, the chapel-that's-now-a-house was looking beautifully lit up, which was a happy-making thing to see.
On the other hand - the day started out well enough, if a bit late after working until 3am again, but then I was completely thrown by landlady telling me she had an estate agent booked in to come and appraise the place. Eeep! So they're really going ahead with selling sooner rather than later by the sounds - she reckons it'll be at least three months away, which is something, except that it takes it right to the start of my examining period! If the exams go ahead, of course... If people are buying houses. If they're letting houses and anything comes up that's even vaguely suitable in this little village. Which I like, and I have friends and foodsaving here, so it's probably worth trying to stay...

I'm trying to look at it as a new adventure - which it will be, where ever I end up... and the three months as time to get on with sorting out all the stuff that I was going to sort out. I will find somewhere with gas central heating, and no damp, and a bit of it's own garden/outdoors, and views out the windows. Right?! And moving out sooner rather than later would really be good too, because the damp has come back in one corner of the bedroom, and now I'm worried that I should be looking behind my big bookcases in the other corner again. Even though I've been spending extra money trying make sure the room is warmer... *sighs alot*

What I might have done, if there wasn't anything suitable, was store stuff again for a few months and go visit mum and co. in Australia, and do a bit of travelling on the way - except that countries are slamming shut like nobodie's business (Australia's saying you need to go into 14 days self-isolation when you arrive - but I'd have to find somewhere to do that, cos obviously staying with family isn't self-isolation!) In fact I'd been kind of working my way up to doing this again, cos I'm feeling a bit stale (after only a year, I know! I clearly need another job... still!), but it's really not looking likely right now either...

Also, lots of baked goods at foodsaving - so many that we couldn't get rid of them all, and S and I both took some home (which yummy, but I'm supposed to be eating less bread/carbs/sugar these days...) I'm hoping it's not because people are buying fewer unpackaged things because of coronavirus, but I suspect it might be...

Well, let's see if I can do useful sorting-out things on Sunday...
