Wednesday 26th October
Today was the day that Grumpus had her first major meltdown.....of decent proportion anyway.
Cabin fever has set in, not of the apartment, not of living 24/7 with Mr. H but being in a city where nothing seems to make sense. 40% of the city's occupant's are ex pats, but yet nobody I have met other than Mike (from the bar) seems to speak English!!! How is that possible? I thought English was the universal language of Finance and we live in one of THE biggest cities finance wise, go figure!
Then we have the rental system, I can't begin to explain how stressed I am about the fact that come the 13th November, Mr H and I will be homeless! Not only will we be homeless but we will have a boat load of frigging furniture and no place to go!
Regies (as the letting agents are called) are as fecking helpful as the clap! Not interested in anything you have to say should you not speak French, advertise properties that seemingly are filled in minutes and generally are just twats.
STRESSED doesn't begin to cover it, there were wobbles at work, but the full blown meltdown erupted once we got home!
Mr. H as usual dealt with it in a calm and reassuring manner (only once I started crying) I should farm him out to war torn countries, so he could go and solve all their problems too!
The UN have nothing on him and luckily, hugs were given, tears were dried and laughter resumed....for the time being!
Although even this problem is one H man can't fix, if a regie doesn't take pity on us soon, we will be camping out in the office boardroom, I'm not joking, nobody could afford the bloody hotel prices round here!
So that was the meltdown day, that and I now realise that I have left my i phone at bloody work, so now starting to feel like I have lost a body part, all in all my friends, A VERY DARK DAY!
The silver lining in the shittiestdaysofar.com was we have had a beaut curry, rice that was blinding if I do say so myself (I cooked it!) and something described as a rosti, it was rosti as in potato but you cooked it almost like a fat pancake, in a frying pan with a lid on top, whatever it is it did the trick :)
So I'll leave you on that note, and hope for my sanity and H's that tomorrow will be a better day :)
Grumpus and Hx
Awww big hugs ... surely who you work for wont make you leave the flat if you have nowhere to go?!
