the Mocks and Rome

So the kid has started her mocks. She's doing okay. Sometimes I think she's so laid back she's pratically comatose. She's out sick today, something to do with 5 cases of lurgy. Don't ask. I suppose she was well behaved whilst we were away. Rome was great, lots of relaxing which was strange. No being online or coding, I just sat back and appreciated the art and culture of the place. Although the motorists are mental. The green man means nothing to them, so I spent the 4 days hanging on to Mammy2's coat tails. The holiday came at just the right time. It was mad busy in work and with the extra work I do. We had the website's 2nd bday bash and it went really well. A lot of work went into it on behalf of the team and I was delighted everyone had a good night. It was exhausting though, I thought
I might explode from the excitement. The kid and her boyf came along, but left early. Thank god, she's quite hard to keep an eye on and I had to explain to her a number of times that I was fine and the fact that I was running around like a headless chicken was always the way I acted at meets.

Mammy2 is being fired. Not offically of course. Because technically you can't fire someone who is on a back to work scheme for people with disabilities. But you can make sure you will make her life as difficult as possible and she has no choice but to resign. I won't go on a rant on it, I'll only end up tearing my hair out. She's better off and that place is only making her depression worse. I still cannot for the live of me understand how people don't take depression seriously.

Another failed attempt, I took this one badly. I don't know why I thought it might be a success. Perhaps because of the green tea, or the various reactions in my body afterwards which might indicate the ovaries were having a serious think about it. Perhaps because of the rugby and the ovaries react well to shoulders. Who knows. I spent the weekend in a bit of a mope and was out sick yesterday. Feeling a wee bit better today and ready for action again. I guess, its just so frustrating. I see all these people with children, you hear about people getting pregnant every day and I can't even accomplish that much. It feels like such a failure, its one of our basic functions, to reproduce. I continue to blame the ovaries.

The kid handed the portfolio into NCAD. I have everything crossed for her. I hope she gets an offer from there. Its going to be so strange to think of her in college. She's growing up so fast.

I'm going to Mamma Mia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The good pal R bought them for me.

I'm beyond excited, its one of those things I've always wanted to see. YAY!
