Another one bites the dust

The boyf has been dumped. It was on the cards really. The only thing we're upset about is the fact that she was meant to be going to a concert on the Saturday and we'd have the place to ourselves. She's fine about it, he's probably broken hearted! And my guess is she has someone else lined up. Half three this morning, I notice the lights still on in her room, I stumble out into the hallway and stand at the doorway watching her chat to K, the mate. I asked when were they thinking of going to bed? She muttered something about soon so I told her that she was not allowed up this late of a school night and if it happened again, K wasn't allowed stay over. Teenagers are mad, I'm convinced of it.

I was in a strange mood yesterday, which wasn't helped by having an argument with Mammy2. When I say argument, we don't do the break plates screaming at each other sort of arguments. More like the long silences and talking. Very undramatic I know. With her work place, broadband is being re-installed so basically they can't do any work in the office. Because they still treat her like a general dogsbody, she has to work her half day in the office answering phones. That part, whilst I am annoyed with them over their treatment of her I can just about manage. Its when she comes home and works the rest of the day updating their fecking website and by the time 4 o'clock came, she was wrecked. Straight to bed. I arrive in to find the place looking like a tip, no sign of the kid and Mammy2 fast asleep. The kid had cooked dinner the night before, and the rule always is, if you cook dinner you make sure to clean up after yourself. I don't mind her sleeping, I even don't mind the fact that the housework was overlooked, but when its all overlooked and she's exhausted because she's worked for a full day as opposed to the half days she's supposed to be working. I did the washing up, got started on the ironing and eventually called her as we were heading out to a mate's house for the night.

We chatted, or rather I told her I was not impressed with all the work she was doing for her workplace. When you consider the amount of stress they have caused both us and her, financially and emotionally I just could not understand why she would work her ass off for them and then be wrecked for most other things. I have always said our priorities should be family and friends first and everything else second. Whilst I wasn't impressed with the place being a mess, that was only an issue because of the work thing. I think she took on board what I had to say. I felt bad but I had to stand my ground, her working full days will only make her sick again. Not to mention the fact that they want to fire her?! Like seriously. Rant over. Lots of hugs and crises was averted. With no broken plates. And a tidy apartment :)

We met up with a friend,S ,we haven't seen in a while last night. She moved into her new house last year and we still hadn't seen it. She's one of those mates who you can just meet up with and pick up where you left off. Dead sound and not hard work. Her house is lovely and not that far from town. We had a chinese takeaway and a few glasses of wine and caught up with all the news and gossip. Seeing as we hadn't seen her properly in over a year.

The best mate C rang this morning. For a chat like. I had to be picked up off the ground. He even suggested meeting up. I checked for the presence of a blue moon in the sky. Unfortunatly, the sky was blue so I couldn't tell.
