It's been a difficult week. 

My knotty family problems have resurfaced.

I saw mention of Disappointing Affirmations in another thread and googled them. One is "No one is coming to save you. You are the adult. I'm so sorry." 

And I challenged a dishonest cab driver,  who retaliated by saying he's blacklisting me on the system so I can't book any taxis with that company in future. 

I had home help today for the first time, and felt simultaneously inadequate and an imposter. 

@NatureLover I failed to do anything useful today. Hopefully the weekend will be better. Next week will be busy finalising arrangements and having tests for my procedure. 

Is your weekend looking good?
