Patience Or Lack Of

Hello Everyone:

It was a fairly nice weekend for me. Thursday was quite the productive day. Not only did I get all the chores done, I also managed to finally get to the grocery store and bake a nice cake using whatever I had on hand, frosting included. I say that’s pretty freaking amazing of me. Friday was the usual busy day and the day I usually lecture mum about getting extra help. Her doctor has to give her a referral, which he supposedly did, and she needs to follow up with him, which I don’t think she did. Once again I reminded her that she needs someone who can give her the full time attention she needs because I can’t do it anymore. It’s simply become too much for me. It doesn’t work when I have to divide my attention between getting chores done and making sure she doesn’t drown in the shower.  The other thing that’s so frustrating is mum doesn’t make any sort of an effort to do anything to make herself feel better. Both sis and I are just tired of it. I simply ignore her when she calls me or shouts for something from another room. My other tactic is to make her wait until I get around to doing something she asked me. Again, I just don’t have anymore patience. Speaking of patience, I’ve been very patient about a reply from the city planning department. I figure I have as good a chance anyone else they called in for second interviews. In the words of the Brit BF, it would definitely be a game changer for me. Honestly, I don’t expect to hear from them until after the new year.  It took them about six weeks to schedule a first interview, a few months to schedule the second, so I figure it’ll take another six weeks or so for an answer—hopefully a yes. Anyway, time for bed.
