Hello All.
My goodness….another post.
Well, we ARE expecting rain tonight.
I thought I had found a place to live.
I got so excited.
A granny flat three times the size of this one.
I e-mailed right away.
And then they suddenly withdrew the AD.
I was crushed.
OK…not true.
I was disappointed.
It was probably just as well.
Mex appears to have withdrawn his support.
Souldipper…you are so right…I am on my own…I have to plot my own future.
First on the agenda is to find a second job.
I need to make a bit more money.
Ok…I need to make a LOT more money.
Tonight I just could not face being inside.
I cooked their supper and left.
Have no idea what I am going to eat but don’t really care.
Mex is in there with him.
Looking after his comfort zone.
He has no idea just how much I hate being here.
How much I hate not being in control of my own life.
Everyone pulling at my elastic.
Which is SO near to snapping.
My poor younger son phoned me this evening.
I ended up bawling my eyes out.
Was he sorry he phoned.
Bless him.
Ok…enough for today.
Tomorrow I shall post again.
I shall look for funny things in my life.
And share those with you.
The pity party is now officially over.
Mwah.

Strength! I hope it all turns out OK.

I’m so sorry to hear things are not good. If I had a magic wand I would be happy to wave it for you.

Well . . . maybe you can run away (leaving Mex in charge of them and his comfort zone).

That is such a good plan NR….

I’m so sorry to hear that Mex isn’t being supportive anymore. But I think it’s great that you’re making a plan for escape and for a better future. That’s the first step to getting control of your life back. You have a great support system here in all of us – even if we can’t be there with you in person, we’re there with you in spirit and heart. I look forward to the day when you’re a happy Granny again. But in the meantime, this is a great place to pour out all the frustrations and difficulties. xoxo

Home should be a safe, soft place to fall Granny and it sounds like it is anything but. I wish you lots of luck in finding another place to live where you can be happy once more. ((Hugs))

Thanks Optie….don’t know which is worse…a job that bores me to tears or not wanting to come home.

I’m sad that Mex has withdrawn his support Granny; I think you will have to take the bull by the horns and in your own words “start to plot your own future”. It would seem that is your only option, unfortunately.
We will always be here for you, so shout away if you feel like it, we all need a sounding board at times like this.

Thanks so much Barb. Mex has asways been afraid to leave HIS comfort zone.

Oh sweet Granny, I wish I could just come and fetch you and Jasmine and look after the 2 of you. Hoping you will find a gorgeous place soon hon. Maybe there was a good reason why you didn’t get that one. Thinking of you. 😀 *big hugs*

You are right Sonel…everything happens for a reason…don’t think moving somewhere in this town is going to make me happy…I need a whole new start.

Yes, it’s terrible if you live in a place where you’re not happy Granny but you will see, everything will work out. Just hang in there hon. One of these days…

Kathy, you’re right. You need to take control of your life. I hope you are able to find a place of your own soon. I’m sure you will find something in short order. Sending prayers your way.

Something certainly has to give. Your environment seems to have become soul-destroying. ‘Twould seem you are a worm that needs to become a mamba-with-attitude!.

Granny, your heart has been in Cape Town. Do you have a landing pad there? Just so you can take a deep breath and regroup?
