Getting frustrated more and more

Thinkings and poems 2 Minutes

The laptop is so slow it is making me feel annoyed and my food was horrible as well.I went into Waterstones and with my shopping bag etc managedto knock a pile of books off a table.Upstairs I saw an assistant and another small table with far too much projecting off it [ it was round unlike the books] so I said,

Do you know what is going to happen to these books?

Then i walked forward with bag and stick and they all fell off as I stalked away in a queenly fashion.I get angry as they have no lift and it is really hard for me to get up there…. plus they no longer have a chair downstairs.Then I missed two buses so got home late.As I have no husband waiting at least I am not worrying.I spent half the day sorting out cables and cardboard and charging things up… it’s   really stupid…what a wet day too.I got my hair cut at a very expensive place and found one side was longer than the other so had to  go to my usual one and ask them to sort it out with the result I look like a Jewish lady before she puts on her wig.In fact I am thinking of buying a wig in Stamford Hill.Think how warm it will be and  maybe easier to wash.After all  one can only spend so much time on the  hair and  men  don’t need to worry.

I am so fed up with this computer I can understand people  hitting them.It’s not even got many programmes on it.It’s as if it has got arthritis like me.

Someone has asked me if ‘d get married again.I don’t think they understand what I am  like.. no longer willing to adapt to others  every whim.

My washing machine needs a new rubber door sealer.But it’s cheaper to buy a new machine which I have done by  phone.I have not seen it but the man knows me.It has a 20 minute wash….for things that are not really dirty… well i only wash my clothes when they  turn black and smell like a cat.. probably because Alfred snuggles so much.I tell myself it’s ok but after sweeping some crumbs off a red rug with my hairbrush and brushing my hair you can imagine my witch like appearance…it got the crumbs  up well but it took ages getting the red fluff off my head.Mind you t one time I’d never have noticed.

I found a video of me humming and it sounds like  wind instrument.My husband thought it was.. he was in the hall.Might that be a good thing?

    1. There’s something about Windows that makes it run slower and slower as time passes! I bought one of those re-furbished Lenovo Thinkpads from Amazon for £150 and think it’s great – very light and runs fast. The battery has seen better days but I use it on mains power most of the time. The best upgrade you can make is to fit a solid-state drive – I put in a Samsung 850 Pro and the machine boots up in seconds and there are never any hold-ups! A real frustration killer 🙂

  2. Excellent post expressing the frustrations of modern day living….which I am sure so many can relate to. As for getting married again….I have been divorced for 28 years, and can’t imagine sharing a space with someone else. It was Catherine Hepburn who said – very wisely I think – that ‘the only relationships that work, are the ones where he has his place, and she has her place, and they meet in the middle occasionally’:) On that note, have a lovely weekend.

    1. Happy weekend,Janet.Although I miss my husband a lot, I also like the freedom to do things when I want and sharing my space is not on the agenda.I was happy I could keep my husband near me almost to the end but I don’t think I could do it again.I dreamed he was cleaning the cooker last week which is odd as he never ever did it in his life!But he made me tea every morning until he could not walk..
      I found 5 new vests I bought him so if it gets colder I shall probably wear them myself.
      We’ve been lucky with the mild autumn and the sunshine in October.I always feel better out of doors.Love,Katherine.xxxxx

      1. Like all things, adjustment and change take time….I love your dream about him cleaning the cooker….that’s called wishful thinking:) I also think it’s lovely that you can wear some of his clothes….very special. Well, today we have woken to cold weather at last and so it looks like you might be wearing them sooner than you thought. Have a wonderfully creative weekend. Janet. xxx
