I have a begillion inbox things I need to get done.
I still have another 3-4 character applications, 4 player complaints, 3-4 misc requests that need to be actioned. A lot of these take a good couple of hours to investigate, and respond to. I know they need to be done, but I’m finding my motivation is a bit lacking.
Sitting in a computer lab, want to go home and relax but don’t want to deal with the psychotic whirlwind that is currently my Mum. Every speck of dust or minute bit of fluff, has to be investigated. “Where did it come from?” “When?” “Why?” “Why didn’t you do this and then it wouldn’t of happened?” “I told you to do it this way, and if you had…” Yeah, well you get the picture. Even a smile. A simple smile gets a full inquisition. So I just tend to not. Easier. I know people (family) say I should just stand up and say ‘none of your business’ or ignore her and live my own life.. but they’re not the ones that have to put up with a week of temper tantrums or sulking just because you refuse to heat her plate up for dinner, or lectures that go on and on for daring to cook the peas to anything but mush. And it’s not just me that has to put up with it, but my son too.
It’s March. She was supposed to be moved out by March. She hasn’t even put in the application to secure council housing, the waiting list for which can be up to a year. I suppose, at the very least, in August I can move out myself, when the lease on the house ends. I’d rather stay though, I like the place. And the ironic thing is, if I do move out, Mum cannot afford the place, so she would be forced to at that point too move out.
August seems too far away. Five months. That doesn’t sound so bad. Almost half a year. Meh.
