No sighting for a week then 2 in the same day. Typical. Just like buses. You wait ages for one then 3 come along all together. Just my luck! I thought when the awful orpan had gone away today that I would get at least a weeks respite. No such luck. He was back in just a few short hours. So no time for my heart to grow fonder.
Two of my kids were home when the nephews landed for the second time today. I'm glad I wasn't home alone. I don't mean to make a big deal about it; it's not as if I feel scared or worried for my safety. But it is weird. The house next door has been empty for 10 months and I got used to it being that way. Now when I see my nephews through my kitchen window, in their own kitchen, it makes me feel weird for want of a better word. It's unsettling. It makes my heart sink. I haven't spoken to either of them since April. That's a long time. I used to speak to them almost every day and I used to see them about 4 or 5 times a week. So it's a big difference - to go from being very close to being estranged from each other.
It will take me some time to get used to having them next door. I hope I don't get wound up and react. I have desisted for the last 8 months from going over to their home and giving them both a piece of my mind and some. I pass very close by their home on my way to work 4 times a week. But I made a decision each day to stay away no matter how upset, angry or frustrated I was. Because I didn't want things to get out of control, out of hand. I want to carry on in the same way but it will be a lot harder now that they are living right under my nose.
Over the past year I have had countless conversations in my head with the awful orphan and his brother as well as the rest of my family. A lot of resentment and bitterness has built up. I hold the awful orphan reponsible for my very poor health this year and for the terrible stress he has caused me and my family. So there's reason enough for me to kick off!
