It's very difficult, G, on the one hand there's a relationship that most people wouldn't tolerate for a minute with a partner but when it's your mum it's so much deeper and more complicated. I have had times when I wished my mum would just pass (and only last week she'd given my sister so much grief that my sister told me she will just feel relieved when the time comes because she's so hard to deal with). But that said wanting a mum/your mum is such a huge part of who we are and someone being ill like that is horrible for anyone to experience whatever the situation. Like you say, there's no win or big victory. We can only do our best and make peace with ourselves as much as possible, I think. At the very least you know everyone here completely understands how this feels for you so you have somewhere safe to offload. I hope things aren't too bad at the moment and that you're doing okay xx

Just like that the subject is anything because I don't have a subject. It's just hello as subject.
I think about the board here sometimes though just don't make it on. When I first found the board I was unemployed. Now there isn't a lot of free time.
Life progresses, feels like the rat race, I'm getting older. Etc.
I've decided that I want to spend my summer trying to read as many books as I can, I read on the bus, I read walking down the street, I try. On book number 3 right now. Currently I picked up a book somewhat randomly not knowing the plot or topic, just liked the author. Turns out it's about a librarian who is going through a job lay-off. It's bizarrely relevant to my actual job because they walked a lot of people out escorted by security and police during a down sizing where I work. Tonight I spent an hour in the car with my coworker keeping it real and talking about what's going on, she needed to vent, she is super nice in her 60's. The remaining people including myself got retrained for a new position that we didn't apply for and it's understaffed. Shrug. Shrug Shrug. Whatevs.
Into fiction female authors right now that write a lot about travel,food and there always seems to be a romance. I don't think they are considered romance novels though. Not sure what they are called. Travel, romance and eating fiction. IDK
Same crap as ever with my mother, not being invited to family events. Though I'm used to it.

Hi, G, it's nice to hear from you :) I often wonder how you are getting on. The reading situation sounds nice. The job situation doesn't. So many stuck in similar positions as well. I don't know what the answer is. We all need money to live. Most of us do jobs we don't enjoy. It's a tough one. Your co-worker sounds nice, though. Getting used to not being invited to stuff is probably something we can all identify with, sadly xx

Heya Two,
Thanks, trying to get slightly caught up with people's threads here.
Yeah I'm just taking the job thing day by day and trying to be more chilled about the job in general. Not super worried about it. No control over it. There is fakery going on and corporate executives coming and visiting and having meetings, people we don't know who the heck they are.

That's what I don't like about the world of work; the fakeness of so many things and the refusal of many to protect their workers rather than exploiting them. There's such a push to squeeze every last drop out of employees instead of valuing them and taking care of them. Makes me sad :( xx
