Been a While

Ok so I haven't had a whinge in a while and it's mostly because I feel ungrateful when I whinge and complain as the trivial little things that I whinge about have no purpose and infinite point in the grand scheme of things. But here I am, about to tell you about my morning. Looking back on it, a million thing could have gone much worse but they didn't. So really I am greatful. I just want to get this whole thing out of my system so I can move on already.

I shall start with last night... My mum told me to decide whether Liz was well enough to go to ice skating this morning and it was decided that yes she was. She also has gone back to school for the first time in 2 weeks and 2 days as she has been suffering from this nasty flu which is going around. When I got home and informed my dad she was skating he told me that was a problem since he probably wasn't going to work. I mentioned that I would be willing to take her if he would pay for parking for me in North Sydney. That is about as far as the conversation went. I went and did other things and subsequently went to bed. Just before 6, Liz came into my room and woke me up saying that dad said I was supposed to be taking her to ice skating. After finidng out I had to get here there in the next half an hour, I bounded out of bed and was ready to go (showered and all) in 10 mins.

While Iwas getting dressed my dad was trying to talk to me, but being half asleep he didn't really catch any of what I said and I ended up storming out (because I had to go) with him telling me I should have told Liz she should *go away* (not what he said, but I happen to not like swearing). He also suggested I just park at Gordon and catch the train from there and then he said it was all Liz's fault that I was in such a rush etc.

Now correct me if I'm wrong but he is her father and he is the 'responsible adult' so why is it her fault that he didn't arrange things properly for this morning? Yes she should have taken action (woken me up) earlier but those who know my sister would know that she doen't think in future tense, she thinks in the here and now and doesn't usually take into account travelling and getting ready time in these situations. Yes it's something she has to learn, but again, she is a child.

I ended up having more than enough time to drive back from Macquarie to Waitara as I decided that if I went an parked in North Sydney I would end up paying the $16 and not getting my parents to pay me back and also that I don't have money to waste when I have a pre-pad weekly ticket sitting right there in my wallet. I also ended up catching an earlier train and picked up breakfast on my way in.

So not as horrible a morning as it could have been given it was wet, dark and there was an accident North-bound on Lane Cove rd which happened to be the direction I was heading...but listening to Phantom of the Opera and not worrying as I had lots of options I could take (other stations I could have gone to if I thought I was going to miss my train) if I needed to.

That is really it and well since I'm at work it doesn't really matter now anyway. I'm far too busy to bother with what could have happened.

However my brain functions are some what minimal at the moment and thinking is quite difficult. I feel sorry for everyone at work today as I'm probably going to do and say some pretty dumb things.
