My Life on a Plate

Trivia

My horoscope informs me I'll be feeling stressed and under the weather today - too right! A combination of foul weather, poor sleep, late nights and agitation don't help at all. A lot is my own fault but my other half doesn't help at all in the winding down process. I feel a moan coming on! Well, what is this place if it's not for sounding off and relieving tension?

I'm not a person who can talk none stop. A lot of my friends can. I like my periods of quiet and calm, particularly in the evenings. My winding down period involves a bit of surfing, chatting and game playing on here whilst he supposedly watches TV. But it seems sometimes his brain cell just goes around thinking of banal questions to throw at me. Last night in the space of an hour he asked...

1. Was I ringing my friend this week?
2. Was I meeting my mother today?
3. Should he get some food in for our guests tonight?
4. Should he get garlic bread?
5. What's for dinner tomorrow?
6. Could I show him a genealogy site sometime?
7. Was my sister online?
8. Was I playing HIM? (A Canadian friend)
9. Did my dad need a lift to the doctors?
10. Was I warm enough?

There were more I've forgetten but you get the picture. Am I being tetchy or do I have a point? Not only do I find the questions irritating, tiring and not conducive to concentration, I just have to wonder if he spends all his time thinking about me and my life. This scares me a little; it's obsessive. Anyway, when I get annoyed I get called paranoid and he says it's only because he's interested and caring. Two sides to every story I know. I've tried various reactions - throwing questions back, ridiculous answers and silence but nothing stops the constant tirade. All I ask is a little peace and quiet at the end of very tiring days; I fear it will never happen. Okay, so I've not really said anything of much interest but it's here for research should I need it. And what a boring story it would make! Still freezing cold today; I really do hate these long winters. Wanna hibernate.
