Fancy seeing you here...
Ok the title of this post has nothing to do with the content, just so that's clear.
Not alot happening in my life still. I've been fairly busy at work as usual and at this stage of the year am looking forward to christmas - i know i know don't say the c word yet it's too early.
This year has just flown by - where has the time gone? It seems like it was only a few months ago i was preparing for end of the year and oh what preparation i have to do!
I think i'll be taking 3 weeks off at Christmas time, we won't go away anywhere i don't think. On second thoughts we may go to Sydney for a week. I really do need the holiday though - i work all year with only weekends and public holidays off and around this time of year i start to get tired, struggle to get out of bed and just feel frustrated in myself - thinking holidays are so close why can't they just be here already.
I think i'm still half asleep so if this post doesn't make much sense don't think i've been drinking at work or anything.
I went to my niece's 14th birthday on Saturday night and met her 17 year old boyfriend! yes 17. I can gladly say he wasn't too feral and could possibly be a decent influence on her - maybe...
She is a concern right now, as expected my brother isn't coping with having her full time and struggles to keep a routine and discipline in the house. She may have to repeat first year of high school. Tell me how do you talk to a 14 year old about this stuff and get to to actully listen and respond. I think it's almost impossible.
I remember what i was like at 14 and think the only way i learned was by my own mistakes and not other peoples advice.
there's so much more to this story with my brother it's not just her he's not coping with - you remember the car accident? well he still can't work because of his back, neck , knees and so on, his idiotic girlfriend left so that's depressing him too. The past 2 weeks i have spent countless hours on the phone with him trying to get him to get help just being there for him and talking him through things.
Anyway time to get back to work before the papers swallow my desk whole!
