I think I’m losing it...

My grandfather is staying with us again, and if it were just my grandfather I'd be really happy, but he insists on bringing along his girlfriend. I'm sure he could leave her with her family when he comes to visit, but he doesn't...

Why is this such a drama in my life? Ok, well first of all it's my grandfather's girlfriend that he had whilst my grandmother was still alive. So I'm not about to start treating her like one of the family. She also has Alzheimer's which is probably the only reason I tolerate her, because I feel sorry for her, but due to her illness she does the craziest things that drive me up the freaking wall!

She talks to herself... constantly, but in like a loud whisper... but CONSTANTLY... I've started wearing my headphones permanently at home, because it just freaks me out. It's like she's possessed. And she sits on the couch and pulls her hair out... strand by strand until there's just hair all over the floor. She also doesn't flush the toilet, and talks to me about events in her life that I have no idea about... I think she thinks I'm someone else. She also goes to bed at 7pm at which time I'm not allowed to make any form of noise... Noise being talking or listening to music, or whatever else my mother can class as noise... I think I'm going to get some Godsmack from Ian and play it at 5:30am.

So my sense of humour is non-existent at the moment, and unfortunately they're here for another week and a half or so. They've been here since Friday and I've already lost it. Thankfully I have wedding albums to finish, so I will be putting on my headphones and focussing on editing and listening to music.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
