Got the Sunday blues...
Have been trying to get on top of the housework all weekend because I've got flat viewings on Tuesday. Been trying to sell the bloody thing for well over a year and had a buyer pull out the day after my dad died a month ago. Every job I do seems to reveal another job that needs doing and decluttering just makes me realise how much clutter I have.
Single mum to a two year old so cleaning whilst she's around is not the easiest but to be fair she's been on great form today and we had a fun time dancing and cleaning the windows.
Pissed off at my ex who apparently misinterpreted 'next week' as a week in March so thought he was having her an extra night to give me some time to myself but he's not. He was really ignorant and unapologetic for his mistake.
Funeral is tomorrow and it's the first time I've organised one and just hoping it all goes okay.
Also means spending a few hours in a confined space with my half sister who I hadn't spoken to for 10 years until dad passed away. She's doing this fake 'lets be friends' thing which is honestly more unnerving than when she's nasty.

None of these problems are particularly fixable but I needed a bit of a vent. And solidarity with anyone who's dreading Monday for whatever reason.

Hey OP big hugs are you okay? That all sounds really really shit - apart from your little window cleaning helper they sound amazing!

Was it your dad's funeral today? Really hope it went / is going okay and how were things with your half sister? Hopefully she will disappear once this day is over with

Really rubbish time for you, I would have the Sunday blues too, do you have your DC this evening? Either way once the day is done hopefully you can just zone out for a few hours in whatever way works best for you and just be in your sadness if needed

And then hopefully in time you can look forward to whatever the next steps will be once your place has sold and you are on to the next step for you!

Thanks for replying x
The funeral went ok. A good turn out and a nice send off. Sister mostly behaved herself although she was on her fifth amaretto and coke when I left so I feel sorry for whoever had to deal with that.
Actually feel a weight has been lifted now it's over so the 'arrrgghhh it's all too much' feeling has reduced somewhat.
