Yesterday was an up-and-down kind of day, emotions running a mock and hormones raging!! I took the leap and emailed my mother the long letter I had composed, with the intention of trying to honestly and openly express many of the things that have always been left unsaid. BIG mistake!!!! Within minutes of sending it the phone rings and I am talking to my Mum....who has already read the 4 page letter......and is on the defensive and lashing out back at me.
I try and talk and explain that I am not interested in dredging up the past, that I am merely saying things to get them in the open but I end up in the place where I always do.......wishing I hadn't said anything as my Mum doesn't listen but attacks with her "poor me" guilt invocations!
I manage to lift my mood by chatting with Nicole for a good couple of hours in the afternoon, she can go from too-wise words to complete 'blond' moments......but certainly gave me the right 'fix' to get me smiling again.
With a large rum and orange in hand, Nick and I sauntered over to the BYC Happy Hour at Ann's. Boy what a lively one it was tonight, and we got our first 'formal' invite to visit some folks in Canada........so this created a good buzz!!
Nick has almost finished all the work setting up the new funeral company, and Paul has already expressed an interest in a joint business venture and extended an invite for us to visit again........so things are cooking!!!!
And talking about cooking.........shrimp BBQ tonight!! Ohhh big juicy shrimp cooked ala Nick style!
