I have been a little slack with my blog - part of me has been doing what I do ever so well, avoiding. Also, I don't want this blog to be just about my family, so after today's post I will do my best to reduce the amount of bitching.
So it was a long weekend as Monday was a public holiday. I had so much planned but because it was raining, a lot of that didn't happen. I have a driver's license but currently do not have a car (which is proving to be extremely frustrating).
I wanted to go and buy a new computer chair, go to the pet store to get supplies for my piggies and also go to JB. My brother was aware of these things and was going to drive me to Office Works to get the chair. I couldn't exactly carry it on the bus.
As it was raining, he doesn't like driving in the rain - so no chair for me. He had NO issues driving in the rain to go to his martial arts training, but couldn't help his little sister out after he said he would.
I made a comment that I was pissed off late Monday afternoon. My mother said, "Is that because you didn't get to go to Zarraffa's to get the new coffee and your brother in-law did?" The winter promotion started on Monday and I was looking forward to trying it. I did mention this to my brother and he said "oh, it probably just tastes like all their other coffees" So there was no way that he was about to take me to get one.
The point was, after my mum made that ever so intelligent comment - I felt like slapping them all (yet again). Instead, I calmly responded "If I had a car, I wouldn't care about driving in the rain, that wouldn't stop me from doing stuff. I'm sick of having to rely on other people to help me and I'm over it" I made it very clear that I would not beg. As per usual, they just gave me silence and moved on to the next discussion. I feel like I talk, the words go out into the atmosphere and vanish like a puff of smoke - unseen, unheard.
Looks like I will be carrying a computer chair home on the bus after all.....
