You know, I get the feeling Blogger doesn’t like my mum. No … really ! I actually tried writing this post (or something like it – only much longer) the other day, but after all the effort my system decided to to throw a hissy fit and do the whole ‘website not found’ thing. And off course when I hit the back/refresh, it went ahead and lost the whole post didn’t it ? Grr !!!
So yeah … this is me cheating and back-posting again, but fekkit
Anyway, my day started with a trip to the races at Randwick with some peeps from my old work at #########.
My god, talk about hotties galore !!! (strictly Non-Work variety of course)
I think I may have to go to the races more often. Was seriously in perve heaven !!! Maybe there’s something to be said for being a rich, vacuous, yuppie after all … if this is the quality of social circle they move in ! O.K. so most of the women there in their designer dress plunging necklines and $300 shoes are probably thicker than J-Lo’s arse … but hey, at least that means they’re too dumb to successfully play head-games, which is all good ! In terms of the people I went with, a couple mentioned the opportunity for me to go back to ######### if I wanted to. Trying to avoid it at this stage though. But at least I’ve got that ‘last resort’ now.
After the races, I went to pick my mother up from the airport. Considering the amount of dubious shit I have done in the 6 months since I’ve seen her last, I was expecting her to be anything but supportive. “Hi mum. Good to see you. I don’t have a job, I’m single, I’ve spent the last of my savings on software and your car is looking fŨcked because I scraped the shit out of it going into the garage at Parramatta one night” – not exactly the best news to give your mum, is it ?
But for the first time in a long long looooong time my mother has actually surprised me.
She didn’t throw a tantrum, scream or call me every Czech insult under the sun !
My mother was actually reasonable, calm and supportive – a side of her I haven’t seen in a long, long time. It’s completely blown me out of the water. I’m pretty sure this isn’t the end of it, and I will hear all the negative stuff coming out of her over the next four weeks – but at least for tonight
Im actually at peace with my ma !
