Escaped

Hello Everyone:

It’s Sunday evening and time to write down a few thoughts. I thankfully managed to escape my birthday weekend without so much as semi-inflated balloon. I’m so grateful that everyone was too pre-occupied with the new baby to bother with a lame obligatory effort. One thing that did really upset me was a card I got from two of mum’s friends, the hens. Both ladies wrote some sort of message, praising me for everything I do to help out. I read it and just didn’t recognize who they were  talking about. They praised me for my sense of filial obligation and how I’m such a wonderful person. All one giant pile of rubbish. I only stay as a matter of convenience. I don’t have much of a relationship with anyone. At best I can describe my relationship with mum as transactional. Anyway, I took the card and buried it in a drawer. Fortunately, mum didn’t ask me about it. The rest of the day was pretty typical. Oh before I forget, Thursday was sort of upsetting as well. Mum decided to hire a cleaner to come and “give the help the day off,” leaving me with very little to do. I really hate that. The cleaner showed up an hour late because his morning job ran late. Of course he doesn’t call to say he’s running late, leaving me to think mum’s intended nice gesture was a joke. That made me angry and I decided that I would do the chores after I had a shower. The cleaner did manage to finally show up and quite honestly, I think he didn’t do quite as thorough a job as usual. Anyway, just before I sat down to dinner, I got an email from the Department of City Planning, the Forum nd my application and scheduled me for an interview. So happy about that one. Just thinking about the potential stability and security of it excites me more than anything else. Saturday brought a dozen lovely roses, chocolate, and bear plush toy from the Brit BF. I joked that it was from mum’s secret admirer. Of course we both knew who it was from. So tomorrow it’s back to the same old same old.
