A lesson learned in time

[lizblackdog]

Phone call from my mother. She's been at sister T's for what, a week?

Apparently, when she stopped at Grimmauld Place to pick up a few things on the way home from hospital, she found the electricity had run out. She didn't have time to do anything about it six days ago, but today she decided to call me and let me know that her fridge and freezer would be melting and rotting and oh, could I drop everything and run down there and take care of it NOW?

Please note that I have had four or five telephone conversations with her in the past six days... also, my sister E went to Grimmauld Place yesterday.

Oh, and I'm not to put the rotting/melting things in the wheelie bin today. I'm supposed to run back there on Tuesday night and do it then so the bin doesn't get smelly.

you know....a good swift kick in the pants does wonders...

and by pants, I mean trousers. Damn, someday i'll remember who on my f-list lives on the other side of the atlantic, but not today.

yeah, but OMG LITTLE OLD SICK LADY.

it's just normal Mum behaviour. Reassuring in a way. She has to be feeling well to be this damn annoying.

Being rejected by one's family does have its positive side.

this is true. I love the old dear but this is just... *speechless*

[cottonmanifesto.livejournal.com]

oh geez. THANKS MOM!!

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

mmm, I know.

still, there's a bright side. it's a great distraction from sitting here working out what things I can eat that make me feel better, which ones make me feel worse and how often I need to eat them.

/sarcasm.

you sound like you might have a little heat exhaustion.

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

That was my first thought when I started feeling like crap all the time, and I believe it was a factor, but it's been quite cool this last week and I've still felt very out of whack.

will have to wait and see what the doctor says.

Ok, you're staring to sound like me, bending backwards to a point when either the back breaks or you bite hard - in the throat. I'd go for the throat. Any day.

*hugs*

Mmm. Well, I just spent the afternoon there with topbit - because my bedroom is full of kittens. And we put money on the electricity.

But I declined to open the fridge. I had better things to do. :-D

[james-the-evil1.livejournal.com]

eating a bit MORE protein to feel better, were we? :-p

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

Well, I sure as shit wasn't cleaning out the bloody FRIDGE. Ugh!

[james-the-evil1.livejournal.com]

Mother of the gods, woman, WHY are you up at half past 4 in the AM????

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

Slept a bit, woke up & came to check the internet.

Can never sleep much when I'm awash in endorphins :-D

[james-the-evil1.livejournal.com]

Bwahahaha
Me, I'm just a bit exhausted ;-)

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

....although I am off back to bed now. Love ya.

I hope you find out if there is anything wrong. :)

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

well, I put the electricity back on, but I was too scared to open the fridge or the freezer...

[captain-ice.livejournal.com]

Hope the doc can figure out what has got you so ill.

Is it possible though that you might be allergic to something?

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

anything's possible, but I'm inclined to believe it's a blood sugar issue.

[kronob.livejournal.com]

Hey! have a little compassion for that poor desk ;)

Seriously, that stinks :(

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, it does. And I didn't even OPEN the fridge...
