Hello, misery

Hasn't been a good start of the year for me. Absolutely swamped at work. My PC at home decided it will do the same as it did the same time last year, which was crash itself, requiring a major reboot. My contact lenses supply ran out, but I've ordered the new ones and they'll only be ready tomorrow. Meanwhile, my spectacles decided to break. I rushed them into the shop, but apparently they're broken beyond repair and so I had to urgently get new ones. During my latest eye-check I've discovered my myopia deteriorated a teeny bit. I live in fear that one day LASIK won't be an option for me - that it might be a necessity one day. *shudder*

My parents discovered that my brother didn't graduate from engineering diploma programme. That, is a disaster in itself. I wish in my family, we would communicate with each other better than keep things to ourselves and not tell each other things. I'm sick of being the intermediary, especially between my siblings and my parents. Sick of it, I tell you. I don't know why people think it would be better for someone else to tell whatever they've always wanted to tell to the other person. THIS is how miscommunication happens, doesn't it?

My mom had to go through surgery on her hand to correct this problem that she was having. I know it sounds like a minor surgery, but still she almost gave me a heart attack when barely days after her surgery, I find her at home doing housework - cooking and cleaning and stuff. I've told her not to, we can take care of it. But I think she can't take the boredom that comes from staying home for days on end. I gave up nagging, but I had to draw the line when she wanted to play games on the computer. I mean, how on earth did she think she developed that problem in the first place? She wants to leave her current job, and I have to help her hunt for jobs, as well as advise her on application procedures and all. It's been years since the last time she had to do this, and I don't envy her at all.

Job-wise, still busy. Still too busy to clear the clutter from my messy desk. Still trying to cope with the stresses of rush hour exacerbated by rain while going to work every morning.

Any positive news? I joined Going Nowhere. Nothing like exercise to help me feel better. Well, that and chocolate and ice-cream, really. I'll try to balance them out. :) I've been reading quite a lot - going through book by book in JD Robb's series. I guess in my misery, I'm just in the mood for murder.

Sorry for the lack of cheer in this new year, but eh.. this is what I'm really feeling.
