We spent a lot of time last night discussing my preoccupation with being cursed and my negativity in general, with Mandi saying that I should seek counseling for it before I end up having a breakdown. In my opinion the only person I need to see is someone who deals in curses to get this one lifted so that I no longer have to live with this hanging over me. I’ve said before that I don’t know what it is I did to deserve it, or even if it was placed on me personally as my mother could have had a curse put on her first born, so until I get to the bottom of it I am stuck. One thing is for certain, I am never going to avoid the opportunity to buy lucky heather in the street should such an opportunity arise.

Today was just the sort of day that I hate, a day spent doing nothing productive. Apparently my dislike for not working is another problem that I have, but I’d just rather be working than wasting time being idle. When we got home from our disastrous abortion of a holiday I commented that at least I had gained two days of writing or recording as I am still on holiday from the court, Mandi was offended by that as she wanted to spend the time together to try and salvage something from our ‘holiday’ before we both go back to work on Monday. I have a feeling this is the sort of thing I am guilty of a lot, putting work first. We watched Meet Me In St Louis, part of the collection but not technically a Christmas film, as there are a lot of Christmas films to get through we are starting with the less festive among them and saving the obvious ones until nearer to the actual holidays.

As much as I enjoy spending time at home with Mandi, I was restless and constantly in need of something to do. I collected Jack from my dad’s house and took him on the park to play with his ball which is something that always helps to clear my head, which is something I was in need of as to further pile on to the run of bad luck I seem to be in the midst of, our boiler has gone on the blink. A plumber came round and had to go because he didn’t have the parts required to complete the job, I don’t know why this came as a surprise because plumbers never turn up to a job with the requisite parts to complete the job. I’d be more shocked if a plumber turned up and got the job done in one visit without coming up with this bullshit excuse, it beats me why the fuckers even bother taking a spanner along on the first visit because they have no intention of using it. If he ever comes round again I am going to hold him hostage until the job is done and if he has to go out and get parts he will have to ring his mythical supplier and get him to deliver them rather than let him leave before my boiler is fully functioning.
