Since Friday the weather has been miserable. Grey skies showering the earth below while taking the sunshine’s role for days and not to mention the humidity! I have been in a really foul mood since I have been feeling ill, restless, depressed and just plain irritable and the weather is just making me feel even worse. The sun only came out to set last night around six o’clock, making its first appearance in days…
My uncle that is still in the Intensive Care Unit, he has been there for nine days now. He had been taken off the ventilator last Wednesday and was put back onto the ventilator again yesterday and had been taken off of the damn thing again this morning. There is so much crap going on with the whole situation that I can not even stand hearing about it anymore unless there is good news…
When my older sister asked me if I would baby sit my niece from when she went back to work in October after her maternity leave till my niece starts going to a day care facility in January, she said that she would pay me R400 per month to baby sit and will only be able to pay me near the end of December or January. I said yes and honestly would have said no if I was not going to be paid: my niece would be looked after by her father’s side of the family if I declined. Anyway my sister offered to pay me for babysitting, I took her up on that offer and I started babysitting my niece the day after my birthday…
Yesterday morning we went to collect my older sister and my niece from their home because we had to drop off my sister at work. When my older sister got in the car I asked her when she can pay me because I want to put some of it towards buying some products from America and she said (more like bit my head off) that if she could, she would pay me sooner than she said she would. I told her that there is no rush and that she can pay me when she said she would…
She called here last night from work to speak to my mother who had just arrived home, as she was parking her car in the garage I told my sister what I will be doing with the money from babysitting and when I mentioned that half of the R800 / R1 200 that I would get from the months I had babysat would be put into my savings account, she began shouting at me… “You must be confused because I never said that I would pay you R400 per month, I said that I would pay you R200 per month and that I would pay you R400 per month from January onwards…” I told her that she was wrong and that she had told my mother and me that she would pay me R400 per month until my niece started day care in January… “I do not want to fight, you are the one that is confused, I never said that…”
She always fucking does this; she never keeps to her word and is always twisting words that had been said… I could go on and on this but I rather not…

I hope your uncle gets better soon. Seeing loved ones in hospital isnt a nice sight at all… makes you eager to just see them out of it and at home resting.
I want the rain that you dont want…. send it my way, my state has had way too many sunny days, its dry, its droughty, its hot, heated and there is way too many bushfires at the moment that are out of control. I sure hope it ends soon, we NEED RAIN here so bad!

They never got back to me about the job, so I guess someone else has filled the position…

Right now that is not possible as I nor my parents can afford to send me to the United States of America to study.

If I had the power to send our rain your way, I would do so. When I can not bare the heat, I wish it were winter but when I can not stand the cold, I wish it were summer…
Hey,
I hope your uncle gets better! ….Lots of stress going on in your life huh? How are you dealing with it? Hope you’re ok sweetums!
From reading the comments above…
You wanted to go to university in the U.S but couldn’t afford it? If so, I know of a university in Canada that is one the CHEAPEST universitys and yet, it is one of the best and largest in Atlantic Canda– Very good school (I go there!). Here’s the link if you ever wanna take a peek: http://mun.ca

I just try to keep myself busy and try not to let my mind wander through unpleasant thoughts…
Too much stress!

Thanks girl, I will check it out.
I need to find a course that I could take on to finish my schooling as I have only completed grade eight in high school and have no further qualifications…
Hope that your uncle gets better!
