Peas be with you, and also with you.

My mother and stepfather popped round this afternoon, and I got such a fright. I had just settled down with some food and wine on the couch and for some reason was totally confused as to why they were on the doorstep so they pretty much invited themselves in while I stood there saying "...okay...". They then proceeded to boil the jug while deciding they didn't actually want a cup of tea.

I had half a glass of wine left in the bottle and instead of pouring it in the kitchen, I took it to the table with me. Maybe I thought it would make a nice centrepiece, I don't know. When my stepdad walks in, he glances down at the empty wine bottle, looks at me being all confused and spaced out at their presence, and says "so how long since the stress stopped?". Awesome. I can just hear him sayng to my mum at home "does Anna drink alone often?". Him studyng psychology and having had problems with alcohol in the past, he's probably gunna stage an intervention.
Mum kept asking me questions that she knew the answers to and questions that I didn't. After they left I felt incredibly tired. It was probably that halfglass.

In other news, I am continuing to possibly Achieve at Life. Toda, I tidied and cleaned half of my room. Literally half. You can see equatorial dust mark. I also shared a Moment with a lady walking past on the footpath, and rescued my peas.
