Family, Death and The Internet

I have been feeling like death since December 5th. Having the flu in summer is the worst. the summer heat and my being ill definitely do not mix well together. It does not feel any good when I am feeling five times hotter than my fever because of the damn summer heat… It is really uncomfortable…

Yesterday was my mother’s birthday and the one year mark of my favorite uncle’s death. It was so sudden and it feels so unreal. I keep thinking that he is still alive, that he is at work and I will be seeing him the next time that the family is together. Whenever those days come and he does not make an appearance, I am reminded that he is really gone. I still keep thinking that he is not…

Kissing Hayley - Eww!Since my last update I have done nothing more than baby sit and be lazy. My niece has been more than a handful. I think that she is starting to teethe and so she has been really fussy. The only way I could get her to sleep now is by applying TeeJel onto her gums and have her sucking away on a pacifier… In two days she will be six months old. Time is really passing by too fast. We might be holding a small “Half a Year Old” party for her with half a cupcake and even half a candle. I think that this will be really cute and my cousin will be here to join us. She will not be here for my niece’s first birthday so I also think it will be something special.

My cousin was scheduled to arrive this morning. She is home for Christmas and will be heading back to the United States of America in January to continue her studies. I am so excited to see her! I will hopefully be seeing her this weekend…

Cameron’s website and mine were unavailable for sometime as there were some issues with the server. Cameron moved back to the previous server and now things are running smoothly again. I will be adding a link to my website page for any hosting donations that anyone would like to send. Any donations towards the costs of hosting will be greatly appreciated.

No, Just No!

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…
