My stress levels went through the roof just, so I ate half a Twix :cry:
Work is driving me mad, I seem to be doing the work of 3 people without a break. I attempted to put the washing out, and it started to rain. We were supposed to have a BBQ later, but the rain seems to be saying "no chance". Dad turned up to take Hugo out, and came armed with a piece of wood with stains on it, which reminded me that he is coming to stain the wood on the windows. I know they mean well, but since he has retired, I can't seem to get rid of them! They come round and nitpick at everything.
"You could do so much more with this house"
"Why haven't you cleaned this room yet?"
"What has happened to your standards?"
All this is based on the fact that there is a marine tank in the dining room awaiting repair, and that the soot room is still full of soot. You know why? Because it is so daunting, I keep putting it off. The walls are covered in a layer of soot, this is what I am up against!
My brother came too, and he winds me up so much! He is 31, but acts like a 12 year old.
"Can I see the snake"
"No, I'm busy" (currently doing the work of 3, see above!)
"Awwwwwwwwwww. Why not?"
"ALEXANDER!"
"Can I see it later?"
"Maybe"
"Goody goody"
Then he is questioning why Hugo has a halti collar on. Because of course when you have a dog, everyone is a frikkin dog whisperer. This is from the man who has had 2 dogs and sold them as they didn't suit his liftstyle, and has had two lots of 2 cats, and done the same to them, and about 10 Guinea pigs, and done the same!
I'm trying to calm down, but I know they are coming back soon with Hugo, which means he wants to see the snake. Which means I have to show him. Which means at least 102 questions from him.
"What's that?"
"Can I feed him?"
"Why not?"
"What's that?"
"Can I tell you a poo joke?"
It might sound funny, but he is 31. It is honestly like having a toddler around. The only time I have seen him remotely grown up was at a funeral.
Soooooooooo yeah, I ate a Twix. Well, half a Twix. And you know what, it was tasty
