Shout Your Frustrations to the World! (You know you want to.(READ FIRST POST))

[hopewrites]

I think I understand a little of what your talking about. Its emotionally taxing to try and visit a place you want to love, yet must fear for your well-being in and make great sacrifices to even get to. Though my experiences are with emotional war not civil war.



I am trying to decided whether I want to let myself continue to be frustrated over what I feel are communicative failings or accept that some people will never be able to hear what I have to say so I will forever be listening to them ask everyone the same questions over and o over without being able to accept that the answer they are given is the only answer they will get (unless they can find a sycophant who is willing to lie to them). J know I can't change other people but its so hard to see someone I love continually being hurt because they won't accept what is beyond their control and choose to put themselves in harms way.

I feel heartless for wanting to thump them on the head and demand why they think I shod be sympathetic when they continually do it to themselves.

Husband is upstairs with a nasty cough (that has kept me awake overnight), which means he has to stay in bed apparently, and son is off school for the first time in 3 years after vomiting twice last night, and having a temperature this morning. Now that I've called the school, he seems fine.

I'm tired, achey, and having 'vagueness' spells, so not sure that I'm 100% either.

Am just grateful for having at least one member of the family, my daughter, who is currently healthy - at least for now . . .

Just can't imagine how it must be for you and all of which you have been through.

Thanks Rosemary, i wish im not dead or 80 years old when that happen.

Even if i never decide to move away from Sweden back to Somalia its much more emotionally less taxing knowing you have the old homeland to go because its peace,normal again. Knowing you have no choice of homeland is a weight i wish i was like before a kid who didnt understand because i couldnt remember much of Somalia. I envy the old generation that remembers 30-40 years of peace, that have history,stories that i cant relate to. Im between them and the cousins who are 15 years old and born in Sweden. Who are 100% swedes culturally. They cant miss what they dont remember ever seeing.

I will feel much better when i come back in July from Somalia and i can try to forget it because stressful modern western life here in Sweden. Work,school. The trick is not to feel too much about where you come from....

Mouse angry! Mouse smash!

GRRRR! City Link again. The idiots can't seem to understand me when I say 'deliver after 1pm' and today decided to go for (according to their note) 12.55 - which is a lie, as my mum was home then. The driver also leaves a snotty little '3rd attempt!!' complete with extra exclamation marks on the note as if somehow his incompetence is my fault.

When people don't pull their weight on group projects and want to cheat instead to get themselves up to speed...NO. JUST NO. Do your work b*tch and stop stalling, then maybe we'd be done by now.

Then there's my housemate, who got in a total strop with me today because I refuse to ring up to fix a problem that she has with our Internet hub - it's not MY fault, it doesn't affect ME, she never pays me money for bills in time and she wants me to go out on a limb for her to do it, even though she said she'd fix it herself before easter.

People are so frustrating!

[HoopyFrood]

Ugh, housemates. I know that feel.

[allmywires]

I don't get why people don't understand that living in tandem requires some effort from all parties, not just one (or two). AND she never cleans or even goes to lectures and has the temerity to be upset when she gets worse grades than we do!

I could not agree with words any more than I do right now!

I sometimes wonder if I was actually hired as a maid for this house and have been under the delusion of just merely living here with friends.

Amen indeed!

[alchemist]

You girls should move in together.

[HoopyFrood]

Sounds like it would be most clean and orderly!

Alas, I have other plans......





That sounds ominous. It won't involve murder. Probably.

I like my house being clean...but maybe not that much

[HoopyFrood]

Five years can push a woman to the edge!

While I'm here -- teeny tiney surgery tomorrow and I don't care about needles, sharp instruments slicing my skin is no real big hassle, but I just hate all the anticipation. Just get it done!

Also, the Queen's in town tomorrow and they'll be crowds evvvverrrrywheeeere. Getting back to work is going to be a mission and a half.

[Mouse]

She in Exeter too? ^ She's in Crewkerne in the morning and all the roads are being closed at 9am... which is, funnily enough, when I'll be trying to get to work. *sigh*

[HoopyFrood]

Yeah, think she must be coming straight to Exeter at about 10am/11am, and then going to the university to open the new fancy building work that went on for considerably longer than it should have.

She'll be in Princess Hay square, about 100m from where I work. I'd spy on the royals if there weren't a shopping centre in the way.

Although I think I'll be getting sliced during most of the time she's here anyway.
