... So, two, count them, two major freakouts today. I think I'm a wee bit stressed, trying to get work cleared away before I go on holiday. I don't know why I'm bothering or care, nobody else ever does. I'd say it was my Protestant work ethic, only I'm not a bloody Proddy (or anything else besides if it comes to that).
First, it suddenly occurred to me that I had perhaps forgotten to pay the home building insurance. This would, of course, inevitably lead to the fucking house burning down while we were away, the loss of one or the other of my parents (who are taking it in turns to house/cat/possum sit), and the horrible crispy deaths of the cats. So I rang the evil arse muppet insurance bastards, ready to throw myself at its mercy and beg to be allowed to remain insured. Turns out I had paid, in time and everything. Arse, only, good.
Second, I believed I'd forgotten to pay the credit card bill by the due date. This would, of course lead to my having to pay interest, fucking interest! I HATE paying interest to those miserable fuckers. I raged internally, since I didn't have the bill in my bag and couldn't check, cursed myself and banks generally, seethed all the way home. Only to find it was due today, so I paid and I won't have to pay that shitty 60cents interest to the fuckers.
Overreaction? Why yes, I think I need a holiday.

Heh heh. Evil arse muppet insurance bastards? I like it. And I'm glad you're still insured and everything. Do insurance co's not give you a little grace period. I occasionally forget to send in my payment, and they send me a letter saying if they get it by X date, then the coverage is uninterrupted.
I hate interest, too.
Freedom from interest/finance charges is a truly wonderful, transformative thing!
So glad that these bill paying worst fears were also not realized. (Yes I am sensing a theme emerging!)
Clearly you do need a vacation.
But after all that travel, won't you need another little vacation to recuperate?
;o)

E - Arse muppet is stolen from the cartoonist, First Dog on the Moon, he's brilliant.
I'm sure there's a grace period, it's just my having a panic!
Lee - do you mean to imply I'm a bit of a drama queen when stressed ? (you'd be right).
I've worked in 3 days at home to relax and do laundry on our return ;)
Whew, glad you're getting that holiday soon - apparently much needed!
Christ I'd hate to drop something on our toes! ;o)
Although I find i do get tetchy if I don't eat properly (way to tetchy)
Roo, yers, one of Mr Brown's first questions when I'm in a bit of a flurry is "did you eat lunch today?"
