I kinda feel the same, 'fex. What's up with you? Mine is a combination of work burnout, a still sometimes achy back, and fighting with the wife over the weekend.
Mines the fact that my parents are divorcing and I'm going to see my mum on Wednesday. I'm sure I shouldn't have to feel apprehensive and afraid of what someone's going to say when they're my mother, but I do. I'm not looking forwards to it.
It'll be fine if she's in a civil mood but there's a good chance she wont be, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do if she starts ranting and tries to throw accusations in my direction too. If things go badly, I'm in the kind of mood where I'll just say 'fine' and get up and leave, rather than sit there taking crap.
I want to go and comfort her and make sure she isn't lonely, but I have a horrible feeling she'll just take it as an opportunity to bewail her woes and say how everybody hates her etc.
Maldur: Had a good talk with my half-sister, always good to talk to someone in the same situation as myself. She had my mum going on at her for a while over the past few days, and it looks like that's the treatment I may well get when I visit my mother - except that as the child in my parents relationship (my half-sister is from her previous marriage) my mum may see me as a potential weapon against my dad.
Urgh.
Well, I'm going to go and make myself some dinner. Bacon and egg, methinks. BAck in a bit, Hivers.
