I really dont know what to do. I have so much to say and again, words fail me. So in the hope of some redemption, or understanding on my part, a quick review of the last 10 days:

A hot water pipe bursts in the ceiling, Thursday morning. Takes a day to replace. all this while the power is out. A day, wasted waiting. Ceiling is fucked, from pipe. They can only come the next Tuesday due to long weekend. Thats fine, be here on Tuesday.

Friday:  Try clean. Do washing. I forget about washing in the machine, prob cause I tried to organize a date day with my wife but got ditched because she decided to work from her mom's place that day. So fuck that initiative. Cool, its fine. Carry on........

Saturday: Washing totally forgotten, do shopping for the day and try make supper, or something special as its now vacation. Something to lift the mood and get that Xmas feeling.

Sunday: Finally remember the washing, but it doesnt really matter cause it turns out the washing machines seal is fucked. Spend time fixing the seal, and re washing the washing, to make sure its washed, and rinsed.

Monday: Still trying to do something nice for xmas spirit, try a new recipe. Doesnt quite fail, but doesnt quite win either, all the time, watching the washing. Put the rewashed washing in to the tumble drier.......great, the fucking fuse is blown again.

Tuesday: They finally pitch to fix fix the ceiling at 9-ish. They come in, arms waving pointing knowingly......ok but they have to go get stuff from the warehouse. Ok....guys....fuck off then and get it......? 4 hrs later..........they return, and finally, at 16.45 ( time rounded for convenience sake) they complete.

Wed: Ok, where are we? House is a disaster zone, but now we can finish that fucking washing!After rewashing it again....drop it in the tumble dryer. Cause rain here right now, its not going outside. Oh Wait.........just a second......A lot was done that day. There was cleaning and lots of dishes and and just Cleaning.

Thursday: Buy 2 new heat fusers from TechSA because the tumble dryer isnt working. I swear i replaced this shit in September!? Anyway, two new fuses, i got one as a back up. The washing industrial line, is finally running again........Fuse 1.....

Friday: Install fuse 2 because fuse 1 blew. MotherFucker.....research why fuses blow. Make/do necessary changes. Pray fuse doenst blow again. Next part is split....it just has to be.

Saturday: Washing, bane of my existence, almost back on track. Overall, a good day. Shopping. Laughing. Minor setbacks, nothing that cant be sorted or planned.

Saturday Night: The sausage dog decides Aiden's face will make a good chew toy. A brief, violent encounter, and we are in ER. For all intents and purposes, it could of been a lot worse, but it wasnt. We get discharged the same night.

Its now Sunday. Sunday evening to be precise. Today? Well today has been relatively calm, all things considered. Fam came to visit, I made a deal with some social charity fund person to wrap Xmas gifts for me (Although her price was very low so I had to up it a bit) and at least both of us had a good laugh through that bit. There are other intricacies, woven through this whole week, that I just dont have the energy for right now. Guess its my way of saying thats my newsweek flashreel.

I dont like this time of year. I never have, well ok, I havent for a long time although it was a favorite time of year, many years ago. Im here now. Just sitting here, going over this last week and a few days, and I'm literally left with WTF? WTF, .....just happened here?
