Admittedly, I did ask my neighbour that I asked to help me put my new egg chaor together yesterday, to help me take the seat off my bike, but…

I was able to charge it, and even better, put the seat back on! By myself! 😃🤗🥰 I am honestly so happy and proud. I have never been able to get it on because of the parts that have to connect/slide together from the bike and seat and I’ve never been able to do it before, yet this time I did!

And I’m so happy and excited I’m writing a blog about it 🤭 Which is totally besides the point that I love to blog about most things..

*I want to blog during all situations and in real honesty every single day I’ve just been too afraid to committing myself to this because I don’t know how to accurately describe what I’m feeling during my dark days. I still don’t know how to do this the way I know I need to, to help not only myself but others, but I can’t do this if all I do in the process is scare people or make people think I’m “crazy” which I know I am not, is not going to help anyone *

So it has only been a week today since my friend arrived to check on me. It definitely feels like more than a week, that’s for sure. It also feels like I haven’t stopped, which is actually the case. Now I’ve absolutely crashed. Plus daylight savings came into effect last night which always messes me up,  so I’m wrecked. But happy wrecked.

I have wanted an egg chair for as long as I can remember. Easily 15 years. But, I could never justify the $599+ price tag that came with them. Then my friend told me Aldi was having a sale yesterday on them for $199! I mean that is a hell of a price. But it meant one thing. Doing something I have never done before and only read about online or seen on the news or movies. .

I had to line up before the store even opened. My friend and I both lined up at our each individual stores. When I arrived there was only a handful of people in front of me.

When it hit 8:30am and the doors opened, the guy who worked there, basically just yelled that the sales were at the end of the store and everyone just started running. Yup, running! So, I did too! 😅 mob mentality is real it appears.. anyone I got there and there were still a decent amount but I couldn’t lift the box from the stack. Thankfully, a kind gentleman helped me to put it on my trolley and the young woman at the counter helped me to turn the box so it actually fit through the aisles, and then another kind man helped me put it into that back of my wagon 😊

I was able to get the box into my house after backing my car up to the stairs. Well, first of all my car got bogged down in my own driveway because its been so wet and the tyres just kept spinning. But eventually there I got it to where I needed it to be. In fact, its actually a bit too close to the steps for my liking but I have doctor appointment tomorrow so no point in moving it before then.

I ended up asking my neighbour who owns the moving truck company to help me put the chair together. In all honesty, I think I just forgot about lockdown in that moment since I literally could not have put it together by myself and I have barely seen anyone in lockdown. He helped me put chair together and take bike seat off which I was grateful for, before realising we are in fact still in lockdown 😬 so I thanked him for his help, he left and I started rearranging my living room to fit my new chair in.

I had to move a number of things around and have even sent taking this picture, moved the couches further away so chair has more room to swing. Something about swigging soothes me 🥰

Then my landlord came over to check to see what new locks can be installed on the back door and back gate. Like with everyone, we got to chatting. People always tell me their stories. It’s a gift I have 🙃

Not long after he left, my neighbour from earlier bought me over dinner. I had told him how much I love Indian food, where he is from, and how I don’t eat certain things but there’s plenty I do. Well, he was such a sweetheart he made something I could eat.

Anyway, I’ve had another long day, but been listening to philosophy YouTube clips both yesterday and today while doing things so just feeling all good round. And hungry. Definitely hungry so it’s time to go make dinner. It’s technically 7:57pm but it’s day one of daylight savings so yuck 😖

Time for a scary movie on Netflix and some food 🤤🖥☺

Sending everyone love and light 💗💜
