So Hot

It's so hot and I can't sleep and I have heartburn, something I never get unless I'm pregnant (no I'm not). It's going to be a long hot Summer without ducted a/c. We just have an old one in the wall in here in the lounge room and unless you're sitting right under it (where I am right now) you can't really feel it.

We've decided to stay home for Christmas rather than go to Mum's. Phill's job is just too unpredictable to make any sort of long term and serious plans right now. We'll wait and see how things are after New Year and perhaps go across for a few days then. So I can finally start planning for the festive season, although it's very different for us now that Santa no longer visits. But we can still have fun.

Over the eleven or so years we've had the internet I've come across some very strange people, and the ones who infuriate me the most are those who blog, post, or email vague, hard to interpret information about themselves. I am a pretty open person and I'm honest about my life, my feelings, my joys and my sorrows and I feel like with me, it's pretty much what you see is what you get. A good part of getting older is figuring out how to filter the bullshit, and deciding not to invest any more emotional energy in a person who is unreceptive to it. Done, finished, move on.

I had a nice chat with an old friend from my Weight Watching days last night. She is on her own with four kids, I don't know how she does it, but she does it and does it pretty well. I really admire people who soldier on and make the best of a difficult situation. And talking about the Weight loss community boy are there some freaks among that lot.

I think we should have put the three seater under the a/c then I could sleep out here. I'm too tall for the two seater. I think the purchase of fans is in order this week. We have a ceiling fan in our bedroom as does Em, but ours is really noisy. Josh has a little desk fan.

Oh and to MSN users, I understand your need to be invisible, really, I do, but it still shows you logging on so we know you're there even though when we look you don't show up as being online. Just a little tip there. ;)

And what's with old classmates who want to be your friend on Facebook even though they never said "boo" to you when we were all at school together? Those too cool for school surfer boys who are now just boring and middle aged like the rest of us. LOL

Yes, yes I'm a bitch but at least I'm good at it!

Later.........

I eventually went back to bed but the heartburn got worse to the point where I was in real pain and wondered if I was having a heart attack. I got up to take some pain medication and promptly threw up but then felt better for some reason, and got a bit more fitful sleep before having to get up to get the kids ready for school.

And to the disturbed and unpleasant commenter (whose inane comment is now deleted), I can talk about, and comment on, anything I like on my own blog. At least I don't threaten suicide and alarm the people who inexplicably care about you, then remove the posts (two of them), retract it all and say people "read too much into it." Manipulative and attention seeking, seen it all before . Comment moderation has now been enabled. And I've also seen the "I'm not blogging anymore, I'm taking my ball and going home" crap many times too. Who cares? Not the first time I have reached out the hand of friendship to a troubled soul only to have it bitten. And probably won't be the last time good hearted folk get burned by a narcissistic loser.
