frus·tra·tion (fr&s-'trA-sh&n)
1: the act of frustrating
2 a: the state or an instance of being frustrated
b: a deep chronic sense or state of insecurity and dissatisfaction arising from unresolved problems or unfulfilled needs
3: something that serves to frustrate.
Lately, I get easily frustrated over small things. I'm not my usual calm and collected self. I guess stress is definitely kicking in.
There's work, house renovation, and of course... nitty gritty of wedding stuff.
Allow me to vent... I need to...
The master's bedroom of our house is currently undergoing renovation for almost two weeks now. There's the bathroom that needs to be tiled and new fixtures to be installed, bedroom flooring to be replaced, repainting of the whole room plus cabinets to be installed for our stuff.
Initially, it was fun to choose stuff for the room, to specify the cabinet features to be installed, the type of tiles to be used, etc. But renovation expenses are getting to me... not to mention the furniture and appliance expenses. Argh! (As if ako gumagastos... I'm a worry rat! =P)
Well... there are positive things to look at... It's the size of a studio-type condo unit so I'm glad of the space. We can fix it the way we want it to look. I can be close to my mom so no need to worry about her. Plus I won't miss her cooking. Hehe! We need not pay monthly rentals which would be a big help for us. We can start saving for whatever it is we want to save for. =D
Hopefully, the renovation ends next week which I doubt would happen.
Work, I don't want to talk about. I have office friends reading my blog. =P But I guess they know about my frustrations. At least some of my office friends understand where I'm coming from. Hopefully, this too shall pass.
At least my boss approved my leave for June. Woohoo! =D
It is only now that I realize that I have been too relaxed. I missed out on a number of things. At least I still have time to realize this. Our April weekends were fully booked... looks like May weekends will be too. It is as if we don't have weekends anymore. I always end up tired... and cranky.
Yesterday, I got an email from my sister-in-law telling me that their plans of coming home from the US is dependent on some papers from the immigration which they were not sure when will arrive. I was dumbfounded. We moved the wedding in JUNE just so they can come home because my nephews' classes end in May. I want to scream! Okay, nobody's fault. I'm not blaming anyone.... It's just soooo frustrating. I'm praying though. *sigh*
There's the story of some (highlighting the word SOME here... doesn't mean YOU) pasaway people around. I just hope they'll give us some slack. Just some little consideration would do. Naway ma-realize nyo rin.
We also have a lot of things to do. Stuff to buy, things to DIY, suppliers to meet, payments to make... the list goes on... Don't even know if we'll have a honeymoon (insert sad face here).
Just a while ago, Joven got crabby at me. He apologized a few minutes after. I guess we need to breathe a little.
Thanks for listening.
Praying for serenity here.
