it's finally Friday and I'm feeling better. I'm still sniffling away and feeling lethargic but, at least, I'm better. Mom was so getting on my very last nerve yesterday evening. Th latest rent statement came and it was higher than usual because of a sudden increase in the monthly parking fee. This off an entire evening's worth of ranting and raving, ruining yet another quiet evening for me not to mention ruining another meal. I understand that it's upsetting for her to have to pay more rent but the way she was carrying on, it was like, I had to fix it. She kept insisting that I should go to the administration office and take care of the matter immediately. Somehow the increase in parking fee was my fault.n This was on top of the repeated phone calls she made. Well, this morning I did talk to someone and the matter is being resolved but that doesn't absolve mom from the way she was practically stalking me, demanding I remedy the matter. This was coupled with the way she was adding me about making stuffed bell peppers. This woman is relentless. Once she fixates on something, rightly or not, there's no leaving it be. It has to be parsed out to the most infinite detail. In the process, she pounces on me night and day to deal with the matter. No matter how much I try to ignore her or diffuse the situation, she does not let it go. I'm her captive audience. I really hope I get a job soon so I can be rid her of this obsessive person. Actually, knowing mom, she'll phone stalk me. Oh well, that's what voice mail is for. Thank goodness I've gotten into the, admittedly bad habit, of reading at the table. At least I can sort of tune her out. On the weekends, I virtually ignore mom. Is it rude? Yes but in my defense, it is a defense mechanism.
