Longest week ever

This week is offically the longest week ever. Offically in my book and no-one elses. I woke up this morning and thought it was Saturday. Pretty pants feeling. Of course there was no movement from the teenager. She was fairly sick yesterday and in a foul mood. Noticing a trend at all? Yesterday was a bit more relaxing as she wans't in school and so I wasn't dreading the whole txt messages. It actually cause my stomach to drop. I think I may need help in that regards! I am great at dealing with stressful situations.

Did a lot of work yesterday on the aP redesign as well as my day job. Even though I did a lot of work, there's still nothing to show for it. Over 40 pages need to be re-done,each page consisiting of over 300 lines of code. Joy. I got home to an empty apartment, not usually a bad thing except for 2 things.

1) She was supposed to be home 'studying' seeing as she didn't go to school yesteday.
2) It was 5.55 and her maths grind was at 6.

As if on queue, the doorbell rings and its her maths grind. I make small talk with the woman whilst trying to reach Satan on the phone. She was in fine form, with lots of cursing and whinging. She barreled back into the apartment with the mate K in tow. I had words with her, left the money and ran screaming from the apartment. The neighbours looked on bemused.

We met with the mate J and heard all about her new job. She seems to be settling in well and enjoying it. I think she's perfect for the job and will definetly make a difference. She's just that sort of person. she doesn't give out or whinge, she just gets on with it. Tonight we are catching up with the mate S, who's finally returned from the wilds of the west. We haven't seen her since she got back from travelling the world so we best prepare ourselves for an overload in information.

I'm having zero luck trying to get accomodation for Athlone in May. There must be some festival or something as everywhere is booked out. Last year, we were in a guest house with a bunch of Opus Dei type characters. Breakfast was such fun with them.
