Dracula The Un-Dead
By Dacre Stoker, Ian Holt
see relatedFrustration
Today is a day of frustration. We’re sorting and packing.
Ok. Let’s be honest.
Linda and Helen, my wife and my sister-in-law (who drove up from North Carolina to help) are sorting and packing. I’m mostly watching because there isn’t much a one armed man with a grumpy disposition and bad hair can do. Helen said I can sit in a chair and go through stuff. I said “Hey – I’m already going through a mid-life crisis – what more do you want?”
Strangely, no one saw even the least little bit of humor in that. The cat even rolled her eyes at me.
Mostly I’m sitting here saying “Yes – keep that” or “No – toss that” or planning tonight’s meal or boiling water for tea and stuff. You know the scene in the Brandon Frasier movie, the Mummy, where Evelyn’s brother Jonathon is standing there doing nothing at all except telling everyone else to “Put your back into it…”
That’s what I feel like.
It’s not like I don’t have other stuff to do. I have one book to finish reading so I can write a review by 15th November, and two more by 1st December, but I really just don’t like sitting here seeing the women do all the work.
Perhaps I should take the book and computer and go to Starbuck where I can read, BLOG, and not see the women working. That way I won’t feel so guilty. You know – out of sight – out of mind…that sort of thing.
Or Not. Maybe instead I’ll just get back to that menu.
