Blah, blah, blah and advice
Long time, no post so this will be a post of randomness I think.
My parents are here for the weekend and I’m meant to be meeting them at 2. However, the way the day’s been going I’m not sure I’m going to get out of here at 5pm, let alone 2pm. Oh, and there’s the sparky who’s arriving to replace the Tastic in my bathroom this afternoon as well. *sigh* I’ll just have to cross my fingers and hope nothing else comes up in between now and then - if it doesn’t I *should* be able to get away by 2.
I always get conflicted and feel like such a bad daughter when they’re here. I love them very much, it’s just that my mother is so constant and over-sharing that I get sick of her by about the second hour. I’m a person who very much needs time alone to stay sane and when they’re here I just don’t get that. Also, when they come here I always try and have things planned to do, but when I ask them what they want to do they just say “oh, nothing, just be with you”, which means sit around the house and do nothing. ARGH! That might be ok if every time I tired to pick up a book or do something you didn’t start talking at me. *sigh* Listen to me whinge about having parents who care.
And, really, what’s with all the bad (and when I say bad I mean *bad*) ju-ju going on with people at the moment? I’d like it to stop thanks. I really, really hate it when the people I love have bad things happen to them or around them. And it’s not only the people I love, other close (and not so close) friends are having mucho bad shit heaped on them. So, Dear Universe, pls to be stopping now. Kthxbai. :/
Also, I’ve been wondering if I should do something. Long story short, someone (X) I don’t really know has been very concerned about the impact I might have on someone else (Y) and the friendship between them. I don’t know why X thinks this, as we’ve only ever met a handful of times and never really spoken. I can only assume that X’s heard some not so flattering things about me from some people. It’s a shame because I would never ever forbid or otherwise stop/ influence/ whatever Y from seeing X (the thought hadn’t even occurred, why should it?) and everything I hear about X is that they’re a wonderful person. So, I’m wondering if I should contact X and say something along the lines of “hey, understand you’ve got some concerns, just wanted to reassure you. Also, I’d actually like to get to know you ‘cos everything I hear about you is so lovely and complimentary.” Or should I just leave well enough alone and let X think what they like. Y has already assured them that I haven’t and wouldn’t do such a thing, but still…
Ah, life, where would we be without your trials and tribulations?
