Frustration

[cybermule]

OK, today is not going well.

My mum managed to elicit twice her due amount of money from me and my brother on Saturday. Which means she went on a massive bender for a few days. Which means she's now virtually incapable.

I don't actually care all that much. Except her mum (my gran) keeps phoning me every 12 hours in floods of hysterical tears, leaving messages for me to go up and help my poor mother.

Without wishing to sound heartless, I don't actually care all that much. Plus, I'm hugely busy and hugely exhausted.

I can't concentrate on my work with this going on in my ear all the time.

And I'm finding it increasingly hard to deal with one of my rpojects without telling the guy he's stupid. It's not my fault - he's driving me into the corner of no return.

Anyway. The weekend was good. I went walking and canoeing with d_ph4ze, which rocked. I did my 3 minutes upgrade to my running with little problem, and I blagged about £500 worth of garden design contract.

And yesterday I went to see my godson, who's all of teh cute.

Doesn't alter the fact that I'm knackered. Snore.

well, the good things sound good, and the bad things sound bad, and frankly I think you are right on target with all your responses. No point in trying to take care of others before you get yourself done right! Good luck and I'll be thinking of you~

thanks for a really nice evening; I think that the downtime has done me good :-)
Hope you had a good time too! :-D

Had a great time too - must do that more frequently. Which reminds me - are you planning a visit to Joust this year?

Awwww hun **hugs** I know you say you don't care all that much, but all the same...sorry to hear she's gone on one. To be honest babe, I have so much admiration for the way you cope with it all!

Glad to hear other than the exhaustedness (yep, that is a real word if I say it is!), some other things have been quite tickety :)

500 squid garden design contract! **whoohoo**

Mooooneeeeeyyyyyy!

I'm quite happy other than the mum-irritation. And I'm swinging by to see you next week, on the Wednesday :)

Remind me to hire you to negotiate my garden contract for the backyard. What's your godson's name? I'm sure he can remind you that there are indeed people who haven't a clue as to what whining moms and stupid coworkers are, depending on his age. However, he can at least give you that look of wonder about the world we all used to have; to be honest, I usually find that sort of thing recharging.

And thus all the transformers of the world were brought to envy. ;)

Hahah - foreign clients always welcome :) Of course, I'll have to camp on your sofa...

Godbairn is called James. He's great - only 10 months old, so still happy and untainted.
