Actually, this has a weird sort of accuracy
What a rubbish weekend!
I have had a really rubbish weekend with loads of things going wrong and stress and upset.
These include:
finding out my Granny has kidney failure
finding out my car is leaking petrol
finding out I could just rush my car into the garage to be repaired and get a courtesy car, BUT then
finding out that my car insurance company shuts at lunch on Saturday and doesn’t open again until Monday morning so I can’t drive the courtesy car the garage have lent me while mine is being fixed (cos I still only have a cover note for my own car and it doesn’t allow me to drive other peoples cars, unlike my full insurance document which would do but I haven’t got because the insurance company have messed up issuing it!)
finding out that I can’t get over to Halifax so that I could go down to Cambridgeshire with my aunt today (she would then do all the driving which I would probably find too much in one day) to see my Granny, because I haven’t got a car I can drive.
I’m trying to give myself a really calm and stress-free afternoon to compensate. I’m very tired because I only slept 3 hours on Friday night and then had all that hassle yesterday. I guess I’m feeling pretty fragile really.
Well I’m back…
…sort of. Actually I’m not much more with it than I was this morning but I wanted to do anblog entry cos otherwise I know I’ll keep putting it off and it end up being ages again.
Firstly sorry for the long long silence. I’m not exactly sure why except that I’ve been busy, tired, on holiday busy and tired again and it’s felt hard to string thoughts together in a coherent enough manner to post them!
Anyway for now, suffice to to say that I am still here, still enjoying tutoring, still extremely poor and needing more tutees for this academic year and not getting round to stuff I really ought to. I keep trying to tidy and clean the flat and it keeps magically untidying itself. I’ve been doing loads of gardening at church over the school summer break, some of it paid and I’m now back working for the agency. They are giving me mostly nursery rather than schools work at the moment which I don’t enjoy so much ( I love small children, it’s just something about the “institutionalness” of having very young children in nurseries that gets me – plus maybe very small children en masse being very exhausting. Hopefully they’ll come up with smething more long term in a school soon. I’m in a muddle of preparing tutoring ads for the local papers, dealing with bills type paperwork, drying washing and bits of bark/mud/leaf on the carpet that drop off my clothes when I come in from gardening. How I wish my life was more ordered!
Right! Now I should have been in bed an hour ago and tomorrow and Thursday I face over 7 hours gruelling work in another nursery! Time for bed and I doubt I’ll have the strength to blog again before Friday!! 
Arti awakes!
…but I’m much too sleepy and grumpy for you to get any sensible conversation out of me just yet. Give me a bit of time and some strong coffee and then we’ll see!
