Ok, so realtively normal Christmas for us. Presents ok, family great and mum contactable by Skype only. However an hour and half on skype whilst my mother goes through everything she bought everyone, which i have already seen and been told about twice, two phonecalls to someone else and tears about not being with us, was a little overwhelming.
But no big, we manged. the 40 minute telephone call after that however and then the call in the middle of Doctor Who was a bit much. but its Christmas, i'll let it slide.
So dutifully I text her two days later to check how she is feeling. would have done it Boxing day but i like to pretend I have a life. Eventually get a response. (thought she was sulking cause i wouldn't shop for her).
Response reads Just now saw your text, no diarrhoea today but then i have only a few dry crackers and as i was very nauseaus all day I have been resting, don't have much choice really as i am very weak and shaky. Its very frustrating as for every step forward I take I take a step back, which pantomine did you see. was it good. Eldest neice and newphew rang on the way to big sisters and boyf and Big sister skyped me again as they opened my presents and nannys. they loved everything. Newphew excitedly told me that Santa had put a £2.00 coin in his stocking. He's obessed with finding money and i always plant a coin or two when he visits. then he found £2.40 under is presents which surprised me until i remembered dropping some money out of the moneybox. some must have gone into his gift bag which was under the window. he was highly delighted
Random text twin got for no reason today
on xmas eve my toilet stopped working- not very helpful when you have a bug but thanks to a kind plumber sent three hours later by royalties gold emergency services it was fixed but apparently not very well as I am once again toiletless. I hope it gets fixed permanently this time. Its wet and getting windier by the minute and will continue until lunchtime tomorrow. Safe home xxxxxxxxxxx
Is this oversharing. normal text converstaion I imagine would be "Hi Mum, how are you feeling?" " Hi Daughter not very well but i'm coping? " Ok take care mum" No problem, by the way i've been having plumbing issues but don't worry will get them fixed"
I care that you may be ill but i don't need graphic details mum and i really don't need to hear something you have told me five times already
