(no subject)
So the household is completed with Paul moving in over the weekend. It's a bold move for him as it's his first time away from home ever!! Things didn't get off to a great start - we went to the pub yesterday and watched Arsenal thrash Liverpool (Paul supports Liverpool).
Nerves are starting to build about the trip to the US - I don't know why I feel nervous as it's something I've done before but I guess it's the fact that it has to work and I hate making huge systems changes like this Project dictates in case it all goes wrong. It being in the US magnifies this as we only have finite time there - MEH!!
In other news - my mum phoned me last night to tell me my Grandma was in hospital. Thankfully it's not overly serious - she's just falling sometimes (she is 83 after all!!) I think they are just being overly precautious because she actually got stuck under her bed this time. It would have to happen now though.. I can't go see her and make sure she's ok - my mum re-assured me she is but you know how these things are! Especially given that after my Grandad died I found out he had been in hospital in Sheffield and my aunties and sister never thought to phone me and let me know - I could have gone to see him every day he was there - it makes it doubly important to me that I go home as soon as I can and see her!! I'm concious that I'm not the most family-orientated person but this is mostly because they just tire me out - my aunties have this pathetic and inexplicable vendetta against my mum and for years they sucked my sister into this - it wasn't until something happened between my sisters child and one of my aunties children that she realised what they are like. Now, after many years, my sister realises how much my mum does for her and asks nothing in return (except to see her grand-children). This, as I'm sure you can imagine makes dealing with my family either very simple (just ignore the problem) or very tiring (try to deal with the problem) and I have tried for years to do the latter but I realise I am flogging a dead horse and wasting my time. What is rather amusing is that one of them tries to patronise me and tell me how I should think things are and how I should think - she obviously doesn't realise that between my ears is something that I like to call my brain and that I am quite capable of deciding things for myself. I get the distinct feeling that she doesn't overly like me because I don't listen to her and her BS and accept it as gospel but I don't care whether she likes me or not - the one thing I don't need in my life is more malicious, manipulative and poisonous women because, to be frank, I've had enough of that sort of woman (this is not directed at any female I _know_ might read this - maybe at some I'm not aware of reading it though!!) I just get fed-up of the whole pathetic childish situation and for some reason unknown to me I want to feel like my family is "normal" (tm) - why I feel I want this when my family has never been "normal" (tm) I don't know!!!
Enough of my whinging on.. it's even boring me to tears!!
