Playing Sick
I played sick today and had my Sunday lunch in my room. Though I have my own kitchen, my sister more or less expects that I should have the main meal of the day with them in the main house.
I have a separate entrance with a spacious room and my own bathroom (shower, basin & toilet); it is a nice cozy place and I should not complain but I miss the space and the privacy of my own place. And I miss my cat and two dogs.
I don’t think one should live too close to your family. I don’t want to worry all the time about my friends or my music being to loud. I don’t want to sound ungrateful because my sister cooks well but I want to eat what I feel like at the time and not what is dished up on my plate.
Initially the plan was to stay here until the end of the year but I think it is time to start looking around for a place of my own again. I want my animals back.
May you all have a great Sunday!

If I was a little boy, I suppose I will be labeled as spoiled. All the years of being on my own, doing my own thing, has left me in that groove.
I loved it and still love to go and visit them, but I just got used to my quiet life and couldn't fit back into there at this stage.
I am sooo looking forward to the day I can call something my own home and it'll be a quiet place.
Hope you get it soon.. but meanwhile enjoy all those lovely cooked meals cooked with love
It is good to have a loving family isn`t it.. even if you are on top of each other at the mo
I am very fond of my sister's children, their spouses and their children but I don't want them every second night. I'm very happy to see them on a Sunday and when I don't want to see them I stay at home.
The little ones are used to me giving them lots of attention and expect it now as well. How do you explain to them that you have other things to do and cannot play with them all of the time?
Do your thing and give it time, things will relax after a while.
That is just the problem! I cannot do my thing here.
What youngster? There is a blog by Zmountainman, you cannot miss it. Do read it, it makes some very interesting reading.
Maybe but by the time I'm used to it I want to be away from here. It was only a temporary arrangement in the first place and I will just make it more temporary now.
I will start looking in the new month. It may take months before I find what I want.
I have plenty of time to find the place to satisfy my needs. As I said, I should have sold the other one years ago.
Hope you'll find the right place for you soon Cat.
I'd rather pay the price and be contempt with paying rates and taxes every month than paying the bond on another fella's house. If I invest the money I must pay tax on the dividend while there is no rebate for the rent I have to pay and in the meantime inflation will erode my investment. Just from a tax viewpoint it is better to buy.
I'm sure I will.
Hmm... Guess your dogs are missing you...
Everything has its two sides,think about positive side instead of negative.
Hope you enjoy the days with your sister's family,and find your desired as well.
Yes, I suppose they do.
