Life Sucks (Again)

[badly_knitted]

My life sucks. Tomorrow is mum's 80th birthday and I've got one of my 3-day migraines.

My sister, niece and nephew will be driving up tomorrow, and my boyfriend will also be here. They are all classed as guests (even though my sister lived here for 20 years), so despite my migraine, I will be expected to serve food and drinks to everyone, as well as doing all my usual jobs of feeding and cleaning out the pets, cleaning out the fire and getting the coal in. No doubt I'll also be expected to do all the washing up generated by six people. I can't even go to my room and rest in the quiet as my room is still uninhabitable and there's nowhere to comfortably sit. Not that there will be anywhere for me to sit downstairs either. There will be six people and only seating for four, so my sister will no doubt take my chair, simply because she's older and visiting. I'll have to stand or sit on the floor.

My boyfriend has bought mum a birthday cake, which was nice of him, but it's chocolate. He knows I can't have chocolate because it gives me migraines. So tomorrow, everyone but me will be eating birthday cake. =(

In two weeks, it'll be my birthday, but no one will visit for that and I'll still have to do all my jobs, and since my migraines are every two weeks, I'll probably have a migraine then too. And I still have to sleep on the lounge floor, like I have been for at least 6 weeks. I'm fed up!

*Hugs* I hope you feel better soon.

And I can sympathize with the whole chocolate thing, although I'm allergic and I can't even stand the smell of it.

You're still on the floor? Just how long is that going to be going on??

Oh sweetie I'm so sorry to hear that things aren't getting any better! *Big and multiple HUGS* You need to have a serious chat with the boyfriend... he should know better than to bring chocolate cake when you're allergic! And "the guests" are family so they should chip in and help you. It's a law I grew up with... family always helps with clearing the table, washing/drying dishes, etc. That's all part of the family get-together ritual! AND still sleeping on the floor! That's really got to be taking a toll on your joints.

Hope the migraine goes away soon. Power-up those crystals! I'm sending as much positive energy as I can your way! *Pets your poor aching head*

Your sister sounds like a right madam. My younger sister acts that way sometimes and I know how much of a pain in the neck it can be. Seeing as she's older, she should know better. Your boyfriend should also pitch in. Chivalry isn't dead, men just say that when they want to be lazy.

Sending as many good thoughts and positive vibes your way, migraines are no fun whatsoever, and a happy birthday to your mum. *hugs* feel better soon and take extra care.

I'm truly sorry, *hugs* Since I don't know you personally I don't understand your situation, so I'm going to swallow all the advice and just say we're here for you, even if only to let you vent and sympathize.
