She's back, safe and sound

She came home at 03h30. She had been at the pub. Her mobile battery was dead so she said she will make sure it is charged so that she can at least send me a text when she is going to be late. She says she expects to be late on Mondays and Fridays. Its nice to have advance warning. My mind runs away with me sometimes.

She has just gone to bed but she assures me she will be on time for work. She asks me to trust her on the grounds that she is 23. I am not ageist. Trust has nothing to do with numbers or anything else of that sort.

Tonight while I am at Sean's, she is going to a movie with her 20s to 30s group. It starts at 9pm so God alone knows how she is going to function on Wednesday at work.

I hope I survive Sean because
a) I have had a few really rough days healthwise
b) Does this count as a 'late night'? Its 05h15!
c) I have agreed to babysit regularly on a Tuesday and my first committment starts at 2pm and I will catch the Tonbridge train from Dover. But before that I have to bath, do my ironing and pack. Sean doesn't believe in early bedtimes so an early night won't be possible and
d) Stella arrives early on Wednesday and she makes such a fuss about the dog that I will have to barricade myself in a room somewhere to keep him away from her. And she chatters - and that before my first cup of tea and everyone knows I only start to feel human halfway through the second one.
e) another late night on Wednesday for an office dinner out. After no sleep today, little prospect of much tonight and a ghastly start to Wednesday. Up early for the train on Thursday and it is cake baking and a hair cut on Thursday afternoon. Scooter repairman on Friday, with Terry coming for her hair deep conditioning on Friday (its her 40th birthday party on Sunday so her hair must look nice)
Saturday - Sean, housework, laundry
Sunday - Terry's party
Monday - shopping and bill paying
Tuesday - babysitting
Wednesday - Sean
Friday - Dentist

Sod it!! NEXT THURSDAY IS MY DAY OFF. ALL PHONES WILL BE OFF AND NO VISITORS WILL BE ALLOWED - SAME GOES FOR OTHER APPOINTMENTS TOO!!!!

I'd have a more leisurely life if I was working 60 hours a week again!
Just how much endurance do people imagine I have?????????????????????????
