opposite moods
unlike
maxmomvt i am unable to focus on the positive right now. i know should, but i just don't have the energy. i'm tired. i'm frustrated and i'm annoyed with almost everyone and everything. including my neighbors. unlike
bixxy i don't enjoy talking to my neighbors. i have one that lives across the street and has lived there for 30+ years. at first it was nice hearing about the neighborhood and the history of our house. it gets old after a while. sometimes i just want to work in the yard and not have an hour long conversation. not being retired, i don't have all day to chat if i want to get things done. then there are the neighbors that let their dogs run loose all the time. my dog is either in the fenced yard or tied up to a tree when i'm working in the front yard. somehow, there's always dog poo in front my yard. i know it's not from my dog, so where does it come from? there's one old, yellow lab that will run into our yard, pee and then run back to her own yard. of course, my dog sees this thru the window and goes nuts. yeah, just love the neighbors.
then there's the family. most of the time, it's nice living so close to everyone. but seriously, there's only so much family that a sane person can take. take sunday for instance. we, of course, were at mom's for mother's day. pretty much the whole clan was there. i was there for four hours. this was after getting no sleep, then getting up early to take my mother-in-law out to breakfast. anyway, things went well, everyone got along and it was a fairly nice day. i went home thinking i had the rest of the day to finish things i was working on at home. i came in from working outside and had a message from my sister asking if i wanted to walk. you've got to be kidding me. i spent the better part of the day with the family and couldn't take another hour of it. for some reason no one seems to get why i usually try to take saturday to myself, to spend with my husband and just be. just one day a week without family interaction. it sounds nice, doesn't it? if only it was accomplished more frequently. seems something always comes up, but i try.
work is just miserable. there was work going on to clean up the mold problem, but it stopped. what does that mean? is it done? is there more to do? what happens next? are there going to be any more air quality tests? cause really, everyone is feeling crappy. why won't they tell us anything? we work here everyday - it would be nice to have a clue.
really, i just need to hibernate for a few days. insulate myself against everything and everyone and just veg. i'm taking this friday and next friday off. it's not enough, i'm sure, but it's a start. if nothing else, maybe i can catch up on some sleep this friday. and next week i'll have a four day weekend. that will be really nice.
