I was determined this morning to have a good start to the new week and a wonderful day. I had everything lined up for what was going to happen - and made allowances for changes if there needed to be. But blow me down, I obviously irritated all the ethereal beings there are because they determined that that mood would NOT last.
First up was chaos in my inbox - but I worked through that and felt I had got there, now I just needed to go to Chapel and after that I would get on with things. Oh no, the ethereal beings who I have annoyed declared, not so quickly. The mother who is miffed at the fact that her son was not selected for exchange had obviously spent the entire weekend researching the evaluation criteria of various exchange programmes, and then sent it to me so that I could now look at this and change our criteria. When I glanced through things, it looked very similar to the way in which we assessed things, but when I told mother dearest that, she did not feel that they were. Why is it that some people are never satisfied - no matter what - and then they have to make their unhappiness everyone else's issue! Ugh, irritates and annoys me that I am allowing a handful of sad people to get under my skin.
The big positive from the weekend was that I was able to spend more time on my "Lavender and bees" painting, and have decided to add a rose in for good measure - and I loved it! Once I realised that I could do it without trying to copy the original exactly - which as the lecturer on the art course I am doing commented - that would then negate the need for photos - I had such fun - hence my being in a positive frame of mind this morning.
Oh well, going to spend a good evening with Mum. Say to hell with the miserable people of this world (even go so far as pretend that they do not exist - and eventually they will go away!). And once more into the fray ...
