Twist ties – the impatient person’s nemesis.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am by far, the most impatient person on this planet. I can’t help it, there is something in me that states that everything should be done yesterday. I believe this stems back to the Christmas’ of my childhood. What sadist decided that sprog’s toys should not only be encased by vacuum sealed plastic, but should then also be ‘twist-tied’ onto the most pointless piece of tiny cardboard. Oh, and did I mention batteries? Batteries on Christmas Day. So many toys, so little batteries. Yup, I am definitely impatient, and yes, it stems from Christmas (not that I would have changed a thing – best Christmas’ ever).

Wow, getting distracted in the first paragraph – thats a new low for me.

FOCUS

Ok, so I moved into my house two months ago (on the 25^th to be exact), and since then I have stripped and decorated my bedroom, installed central heating, installed a bathroom, painted the kitchen and installed a bike structure for Velma (my vespa). My home is starting to look very Nu-like.

However, everything that I have done or tried to do in relation to my house has been delayed, and for an impatient person, that is no fun what so ever. It all started when I first purchased my home – it was meant to be such a swift move, I was moving into an empty house and I was selling to first time buyers, and yet my move took nearly five months. To say that I was a nightmare, was putting it mildly.

Since then, my central heating leaked, my builder fell of his ladder and broke his wrist, and today, I ordered my bedroom carpet, it was all agreed for Saturday, so I moved all of my furniture out of my bedroom (I must state here and now, that I am not at all a minimalist, so this task alone was not a quick one) and pulled up my old carpet. Thirty minutes later I get a call from the Carpet people saying that the carpet is out of stock and they arn’t sure when it will be back in again. So I now cannot access my drawers, my wardrobes and I have a carpetless floor (not in a nice polished floorboard way either).

Oh the curse of the impatient!
