There has been so much death going on recently. It's crazy. Everyday I hear about another person passing away. To all of those who are no longer with us, may your souls rest in peace.
So you know I live with my sister, right? You didn't? Where have you been? Anyway, she devised this cooking rota so everyone has to cook twice a week and we alternate on Sundays. Sounds fine to me. So I have to cook Mondays and Thursdays. So Monday I made BBQ chicken, yellow rice and corn on the cob. Tuesday was my sister's turn to cook. Now if you impose a cooking rota, I figured that means you will actually cook. She "cooked" a frozen pizza. It wasn't like we didn't have food to cook. There is loads of meat in the freezer. The cupboards are stocked with rice and pasta etc. Maybe it's just me. But everyone has made an effort and actually cooked food. She even posted the rota on the fridge, and there are notes: "If you switch days with someone else, please ensure they cook", "If you are going to be home late, make arrangements", and my favourite "Alternate what you cook, don't cook the same thing all the time". When she told us about the rota the first thing her fiance said was "when do you cook?" I was cracking up. We'll see how long this lasts.
Work has been pretty quiet. It has it's moments. I can't complain, at least I'm not stressed out. I've got a work experience student coming to work for two weeks. I interviewed him yesterday, he seems like a nice enough guy. Hopefully he's not gonna take the piss and annoy me. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
My mum and sister are back on speaking terms. Only because my sister wanted my mum to bake some cakes for her office. I knew once one needed something from the other they would start talking again.
Meems is starting into that terrible threes phase. To be honest she already started that when she turned two. The tantrums are crazy. And now she whines when she doesn't get her own way. She'll be playing with a toy and it drops, she starts whining and wants someone else to pick it up for her. Or she'll be watching tv and the program ends and she'll start crying. But she's just like me when I was little. If my mum would hit me I'd get real loud and say "What did you hit me for? Don't you know that hurts?" I didn't care who was around. Meems does that to me. Or she'll go and tell my mum if I told her off. You can't say or do anything in front of this child, she will go and tell your business to everybody. But that's a good thing because if anyone does anything to her, I know she'll tell me.
I am so ready to upgrade my phone. This one is getting on my nerves. I don't know how I lasted so long with it.
Why do people always tell me off for not calling them? What your phone don't work? If you wanted to speak to me then you could call me. If I had something to say to you then I'd call you. I don't like talking on the phone if I don't have something to say. Then they tell me off because I don't leave messages. If it was an important call, then I'll leave a message. If not, then I'd just call you back later. Or they complain because I call them once and if they don't answer, I don't call back. What am I chasing you down for? If I call them 5-6 times then they'd want to say I'm stalking them.
To all my American friends, I hope you have a Happy Independence Day!! Enjoy the weekend.
