    Murphy Sucks

    I'm sick of Murphy! Murphy needs to get out of my life! Why? Here's why:
     
    • Finn got sick
    • Finn died (see previous blog)
    • Ben's grandfather Sid got sick (late April)
    • Sid died (April 23rd)
    • The rent was being put up on the 27th June by $30 a week
    • We moved on the 8th June (downsized too, so most of our furniture and exercise equipment is GONE)
    • Mum's ex-partner Robert died (15th June)
    • Minimal deadline for marking and reporting for school (17th June)

    I hit a brick wall Monday night after getting the news about Robert. That was the straw that broke the camel's back.

    I've been utterly exhausted from moving house and stressing about marking and reporting. As a result, I have taken four days off work. Not fun days, either, as I spent most of those four days getting six lots of marking done, then all of my reporting completed. I ended up getting it all finished a day late.

    I've had a migraine all day today, and it's supposed to be Saturday! Ugh! Still, one week to go...

    The only upside to all of this is that the next half of the year is going to be much, much, better.

    Let's hope Murphy stays away for a while.
