Sundee - 01.06.14 in Your Face

I really am sleeping like shit. Waking up with an aching neck, never feeling rested. Horrible dreams last night that I was being beaten and then chased by a rapist.

Dragged my ass out of bed and did two loads of laundry. First I had to turf my brother's soggy clothes out of the machine that had been sitting in there since Thursday (it's Sunday). Fucking lazy asshole. I should know better than to wait on him to take care of himself (keeping in mind that mother probably put them on to wash for him anyway). I ran the machine on a hot rinse with a little suds to get the stink out.

Hung my laundry inside my room, showered and got dressed. Headed over to my neighbour's house, planning on a cup of tea. He was heading down to the supermarket, so I tagged along. Bought some yoghurt, a tin of prawns and some frozen vegetables. I want some soup and dumplings and figured I needed some more "stuff" to put in the broth.

Picked up my sister and her fiance and we headed to our Aunt's house to help her unload her furniture into her new house. Her husband was there, which was nice. They separated last year, but are on amazingly good terms. He is very sweet and quiet. It took us about two hours to unload everything, then we picked up some food and ate at my sister's house.

I am home now, just waiting on another load of laundry to finish (towels and sheets). I'll be very happy when I can do my laundry during the day while my brother and mother are at work, instead of having to battle them on weekends. Both of them have the awful habit of leaving their wet washing in the machine for days on end, then finally moving it out to the clothes line, where it also remains for days on end. I am the opposite - as soon as that machine beeps that the cycle is finished, I am out there to get it. As soon as it is dry, I put it away.

Anyway. I am just being anal and really missing the days of living with M, our habits were much more similar. Never perfect, of course, I am not kidding myself here, but close enough that we both close the toilet lid when we flush it, and we both hang our towels up after use and keep a clean bathmat, and we both are cat-like quiet in everything that we do (except his annoying throat clearing!).

I am waiting to hear from him as to a suitable date for me to arrive. 3 July is pretty good as far as flight prices, amount of time for me to be left sitting on my ass at home, and considering I'd get there in time for 4th of July. Now, watch my delicate little hopes get shattered by M.
