Everything's gone PINK! I never thought I'd be in an all pink server and a ladies room, but then I didn't think my year off work would be stymied by a pandemic, either - damn. Never mind, on with the show! I'm pleased there's a ladies only room in a ladies server, all semantics aside. I don't like the term lady, but I like the intention. Sometimes a gal needs other gals, y'know? The sisterhood and all that. I'll be the first to say how much I love men, and that gender doesn't matter, but sometimes, it's just gotta be all pink and the girls.

I could do with some girl power today.

You know, the stereotypical female-ness that is good at organising stuff for a camping trip and vaccuum the house and make dinner and offer advice to husband who's having a melt down because there is too much to do. Because there is a lot to do, or was - it's been a hellish Sunday trying to meet this ridiculous self imposed deadline, which makes for a few frayed tempers and little spats.

The sisterhood is good for biatchin' about men, when they are being unreasonable and annoying.

You know, like when you sit down to have a cuppa tea and they kinda insinuate you haven't done anything, but it's because they haven't seen you do it, and they're incapable of believing stuff happens when they don't see it? Like the house that mops itself when they're in the garage?

Or when they've finished their tea and expect you to gulp yours and help them out?

Or when they don't listen to your suggestions, and then offer it an hour later up as some brilliant idea like they just thought of it?

Or when they're so hungry and tired and ask 'what's for dinner?'.

Yep.

It's been that kinda day. The kinda day I wish I could sit in the sunshine, drink wine and giggle with the girls.

But it's all nonsense, because it's nothing to do with gender at all, is it? It's just what happens when we're over tired and overworked and aren't being mindful of the others needs and wants.

And at the end of the day, what did we do? Cooked dinner together and then jumped in the bath with a bottle of wine.

And my sisters aren't doing that with me.

How's your weekend been, ladies? Is your partner being a pain in the ass, or are they being a gem?

Monday update... we are delaying leaving for a day. Snuggles and sleep in before we leisurely finish what needs to be done and try not to kill each other.
