Blogging – how not to do it.

Guess what I’ve been doing?

Yesterday was fairly stressful, I had one final course to do and another issue with the car – it broke down on my way to the course – reason the fuckwit mechanics had ‘forgotten’ to replace a clip attaching the primer lead from the ignition to the starter motor solonoid. I was not impressed. I was in a red hot fury by the time I eventually got to work – 1 hour later and an RAC call out. GAH!

The course was only a day but seemed to drag out due to the fact that once again the technical content was something I felt a school leaver could manage without breaking a sweat let alone an IT graduate and technical support monkey like myself. *Sigh* My only relief from the monotony of the class was a reasonably pleasant lunch with my friend T. After work I had to collect Kai, visit the garage, shout at them, collect and re-attach my missing clip, go to B and Q as Kai wanted plants, seeds, pots and fertiliser, then race to go get groceries that had been overlooked before dashing home in a frantic rush to cook for 4 people, do the dishes and make the house (mostly the kitchen) a bit more presentable for another friend of ours S who came over to help take her mind of stuff, chill and play Mah Jong and boardgames. By the time she arrived I was fairly tired from all the running around I had done. However, we had a fantastic night, we chatted about a number of things, found out a bit more about each other, our pasts, our likes, our dislikes just getting to know each other. By the end of the evening (1130ish) S said her goodbyes and drove home. We (Kai and I) felt that we had found another really good friend and we got the feeling that it was a view shared by S. We eventually collapsed in bed after sharing a glass of mead each and sharing our mayday vows of love towards each other.

This morning I got up at 640am and got myself ready for work. My word what a day, I had piles of paperwork awaiting me – I won’t go into detail cause paperwork is dull. I was concerned over how T and S had been as they’ve both had some rough times of late. I spoke to Kai at about 11am and found out she wasn’t feeling well and also was a little down. In any case work pushed on and eventually I left for home. I called Kai before setting out and found out that she wanted me to drive us to the Asda some distance away as we needed milk and she wanted to get some Summer clothes for Lexxie. Now I’ll admit I was a bit cranky at this, I’m generally tired after a full day at the office and generally I like to relax a little before I have to cook and do the dishes for everyone. However Kai asked and I agreed to do it. THe kids had been ok today Lexxie is still a handful but I think she’s getting a bit better as time goes on. We got the shopping done and started on our way home, the traffic as you can guess by this point was a bit of a pain – another reason why I prefer not driving places after work on weekdays. But we eventually made it home, I think Kai is coming into one of her low periods she’s feeling a bit down at the moment and generally wants to be left alone. I’ve come downstairs, done the dishes, dinner is cooking and hopefully tonight we’ll put our feet up and just veg together, maybe I’ll manage to cheer her up maybe not but I’ll try and just let her know I’m here for her if she needs me. I’m not perfect and I can get damn cranky when I feel tired but hey I have a family and I can’t put me first all the time.
