I'm back

Hi everyone, i'm back. It's going to take me about a week to catch up on everyone's blogs. I've read a couple but seriously - you people have done some serious blogging while i've been away.

The funerals weren't very nice and i'm glad they're over. Three funerals in just under 3 weeks is just ridiculous and i'm hoping that's it now for a while. Fingers crossed.

I'm very tired. My back is stuffed (had to sleep on the lounge or a single very slim mattress on the floor) and my house is a pigsty. The temperature today must be about 43 degrees, i'm roasting hot and we don't have air conditioning here. Actually there's not even much of a breeze.
I have unpacked the car but that's about it, it's too hot to do anything else.

Back to work tomorrow and i'm already looking forward to the weekend, although I have SO much to do this weekend it's not funny. At least I have air cond at the office so i'll be better off there anyway.

I haven't weighed myself for about a week, i'm sure i've stacked on about 10 kilos, at least that is what it feels like today - probably due to the heat. I'll wait til Friday to see how much damage i've done. Luckily I was able to cook most of the meals when we were away so we had fairly healthy options.

MIL and BIL have been eating takeaway for 6 weeks - I only know this because I had to wash the pots and pans before cooking as she told me she hadn't used them yet. They moved in mid October - Geez - they wonder why they're stacking the weight on! I tried to keep my mouth shut but on a couple of occasions I just couldn't help myself and had to say something to her.
It's just plain old laziness and any excuse will do! I know the signs, I have that disease too!

Anyway, enough bitching.

I hope everyone is ok and coping with whatever is being thrown your way, it's hard sometimes, and it was even harder because I didn't have my blogging friends to cheer me up. MIL has dial-up internet - crikey I forgot how bloody slow it is, thank goodness for broadband! I tried to look at a couple of blogs but it would take 5 minutes to get to the comments section so I gave up.

I also had to print 150 service booklets for the funeral and MIL's printer was doing ONE page every FIVE minutes! You can imagine how much time I spent cursing the bloody thing.
I SO wished I was at home with my beautiful computer and printer and BROADBAND! haha I was even tempted to drive home (2 hours) print them and then drive back (another 2 hours) but I didn't.

I read a bible passage at Nanna's funeral. I'm not religious by any means (a whole other story) and don't believe in all that crap, but Nanna would have liked it and I kept it together and got through it without fumbling, crying or stuffing up. I felt very good after I had finished but i'm pretty sure it doesn't burn as many calories as getting on the treadmill! haha

Anyway, DS is asleep and I had best take advantage and go and put some washing on. Talk to you all soon,
