Day 12 - More Craziness

Today I got up at 9am, made breakfast for the dogs, made breakfast for myself. That was the end of the peace.

10am the phone started ringing and has not stopped. I ate breakfast at 11am in between answering phone calls. Not happy.

Haven't been able to get a hold of my mother, who is supposed to be going with me to a doctor's appointment I have in three hours. Really not happy.

Then tonight I have a co-op meeting. VERY NOT HAPPY!

This day can not end soon enough.

Bah to the power of infinity.

Day 12 - When You Become Your Parents' Parent

Sigh. A couple of years ago my mother retired from her work and at the time I was happy for her as I figured, she'd worked hard now she can enjoy herself. Turns out my mother's idea of enjoying herself was to sit around watching TV.

For a while, I would visit a couple times a week and sort of take her places with me, just so she wasn't sitting staring at the walls all week long. That finally culminated in a big 'I don't have to do what you say! You don't control my life!' thing. So I had to stop doing that and my mom went back to doing nothing at all.

( To The Drama! )

Sigh.

Day 12 - The Meeting From Heck!

You know how in any committee you get the people that actually do stuff and then you get people that just complain? Well, sadly at tonight's meeting, one of the LOUDEST complainers we have in the Co-op, showed up. Sigh.

A meeting that should have taken half an hour at best to an hour at most, ended up taking TWO HOURS because she questioned every dotted i and every crossed t and ranted and raved and blah.

I came home and immediately sent an email to the Coordinator of our Co-op asking her how she wanted me to handle the situation. Basically, this lady has a hate on for our Coordinator so I thought it only fair to let her know that nefarious things concerning her were in the works.

Will have to see what sort of reply I get.

The Chinese may call 2011 the Year of the Rabbit, but I think I will call it the Year of the Ridiculous Drama or the Soap Opera Year for short.

Can we just fast forward to 2012 please?

Day 12 - Almost Forgot!

Something good for a change!

I weighed in at the docs and I lost half a kilo! That's 1.1 pounds! Whoo hoo!

Doesn't sound like much but by small things are great things accomplished!
