A man with a wooden eye was sitting at a Bar…

So I haven’t written in a while. I’m still itching, there’s a lot going on, it’s just a struggle to get anything out. I honestly don’t have that much to say for myself really.

I’m depressed & I’ve pretty much just shut down, please excuse me.

My step-father is in hospital again, last time it was pneumonia, this time it’s because his cornea transplant has rejected – 15 years later.

This is only one of the repercussions of his wishing away a cold that turned nasty. He’s been fighting this eye infection since early May & you know, you’d think with it being in his transplanted one, he’d have taken it far more seriously. But it is what it is & there’s no doubt in my mind he’ll never change.

I still haven’t heard anything about my statement. But lets not go there shall we.

What else, what else…

My mother has been killing me with her “what have you eaten today?”, “Eat this”, “Eat more” routines. So I’m not eating. I’m working 2pm till 10pm at night (by the time I actually sit down at night it’s after 11pm mind you) & I’m not eating.

It’s not that I’m making a conscious decision here, it’s truly not, it’s merely that I have no appetite. I look at myself in the mirror these days & hate what I see. I’m unhappy, I’m home-sick, I’m stressed out & you know what, I just don’t care.

Sigh.

All I want is to go back home. 7 weeks left. The last 3 have surely flown by but my god, 7 weeks… seems like a lifetime right now.

  1. You hang in a little bit longer Aria….

    We’re all awaiting your return home to Bear :)

    I do have to say this though….I’m in agreement with your Mom. You gotta eat something girl….

  2. Well, all Wendy’s spicy chicken sammiches gratefully received!

  3. Have you got anything nice planned in those 7 weeks? or is it all work, work, work? I know its really hard to find anything to look forward to if you are low, but it might make the time go a little bit quicker if you can break it up and focus on smaller chunks? its not the best advice in the world, but its worth a shot. I hope things pick up for you soon.

  4. It’s all work, work, work I’m afraid. I can’t afford to do anything less. I’m planning to have a few days out of that seventh week here for myself & maybe doing a bit of a tour of my fathers side of the family (the side I actually like).. but we’ll see.

    Working has made the days go faster I think, rather than just sitting there day after day, worrying about how we’re going to be able to afford flights, immigration visas, wedding dresses & honeymoons….

    Thanks Lola :)

  5. I’m with Slick. You’ve got to eat. Oh, and stop worrying about flights, visa, wedding dresses and honeymoons. Worrying and not eating are not helping you at all. Do you have time to take a walk and just clear your head?

  6. Because that wasn’t condescending.

    Oddly enough but flights & visas are very much a massive part of my world right now.

    My only way of getting to & staying with the man I love & the life I want to live.

    The wedding? The occasion that will solidify my residence & my choice, if I ever make it, to or not to return to the place that has time & time again, ruined me.

    So in turn, these are the things that equal my happiness & my ability to live my life.

  7. It seems like we are both a strugglin’… Just do what you need to do right now. If writing helps, you have listeners. Disabling comments always works when you feel like venting and don’t care for venting back. *hugs*
