Oh Boy - totally mega pissed off today and I shall go into the reasons cos I don't see why I shouldn't piss everyone else off too :-( I get emails all the time from a variety of people complaining that I'm not ringing/writing/speaking to them - like I have zillions of exciting things to speak about! So since you all want to share the "excitement", you might as well share the pains too!

Right now, it's hotter than hell and I'm even hot indoors with the airconditioning going 24/7. I reckon it's hot flushes combined with temps of upper 40's and early 50's! With a maximum of 4 split units going daily, the bloody bill came in at Lm 130 for 4 weeks ..... and that's switching off 3 of them at night too! So I daren't keep all 17 units going cos we won't be able to afford the bill when it comes.

Another reason for being pissed off is that we're now on a diet and you all know HOW I HATE DIETS ! Apart from everything else is the fact that I hate not baking bread - and not eating it - so this is another reason for being PISSED OFF. See if I had baked a loaf of bread today, for example, I would have beaten the shit out of the dough and my mood would have eased off - I might even have been in a good mood tonight instead of feeling like a damned maniac - ooof! And don't ask how much I'm weighing cos I'm not telling.... so there!

Third reason is that I hired a bloody full-time, live-in house-keeper after ages of searching for the right one only to be told that she has to go on vacation for TWO months after working with us for only 2 weeks................. grrrrrrrr ! My house-keeper is on holiday whilst I am cleaning and ironing in this bloody heat - great fun! Am I a sucker or what??

Yet another reason for being pissed off is that Nemxa has something wrong with her nose and I had to take her to the vet yesterday only to be told that they have to have her anaesthetised tomorrow to be able to take a biopsy for her. Also some blood tests etc ............ all this to the value of Lm 200 - that's apart from yesterday's consultation (5 minutes) which cost me Lm 12. If anyone thinks coming here makes you rich - forget it !! There are no taxes but boy! is everything else expensive............... Fingers crossed for my poor Nemxa - results come back in a couple of weeks or so.

In the meantime, one thing that is not pissing me off is the lovely TINA - the Maltese terrier we're baby-sitting for the next 3 weeks? She's is such a bundle of fun -except at night when she starts yapping at the least little noise but that's another story :-) We love her! And she's already nearly house-trained so by the time her parents come back she should be perfect .... are you reading this Chicklet??????!! Oh and by the way ......... she's sleeping on my pillow - every night :-)


Major reason for being pissed off - I am not beading enough :-( With all this going on, I can't seem to have more than an hour at a time to bead and what the hell can I do in an hour??? I have so many things in my mind that I want to bead but days are dashing by before I know it, it's evening and time for bed and I haven't done anything - aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!

And now I'm trying to post some photos and it won't do what I want it to so I'm out of here - I'm going to sleep off today cos it's been one of them days :-(

Later ...........................

Hey, girl, must be the moon, here in Egypt isn't so great either. Take a deep breath and try to relax. Hope the baby's test results come back with something simple and fixable...I hear ya!
