Getting stuck

Arrrgghhh< not again!. This is becoming a norm for me these days. I suppose I need to sit still, keep calm, slow down find a way to really attune to what is happening around me. I last went to see my supervisor, or get feedback from her on Monday 20th October, how can I forget that day, it's my son's birthday. :-) Anyway, the feedback was ugly. I felt like I have been wasting my supervisor's time this WHOLE year! I mean really this back and forth since March, WHAT! She sent me on my way, more confused than before, but also meant to start afresh and not just rehash the chapter I have already. Then the humane-ness kicked in and she called me back the following morning. with the best news ever, work on/ concentrate only on Possible Selves and Collective Futures. That was music to my ears. I got back to the office, downloaded all material I thought fir, even went to the library to look for more readers. FOUND, DONE, then started the reading, joined a colleague's "Shut up n Write" session. But still going around and around in circles, till I finally submitted on Friday, 14 November. The very fateful day when merilly on my way back home, my car got stuck. Reminded me that it afterall a machine and does breakdown now and again. But more glaring, was the message, I need to finish my studies so that I can be able to afford this car and all its maintenance issues. I had just recovered from a week of taking Obz  to work in the mornings cos his car was being painted. That was done, succesfully, but it is also a story for another day... Now today, as I write this entry, I got stuck in my own house this morning. Obz and his moods and issues... He left in a huff this morning and locked T and I inside the house, lol, It is actually funny, I know he didn't mean it, he thought I had my keys, but because of his stubbornness, he didn't even ask if I'll be ok, he just left. Saying he'll tell me what's wrong, when I am willing to listen. Ok, so I'll be stuck in this moment, stewing on these thoughts until I am ready to hear what I did, to upset mr. man. Till next time :-)
