Big pie.

Quite a down day for me. Struggling to keep cheerful at the moment. Always one thing after another and when I think about it - a lot of the stress/frustrations are actually caused directly or indirectly by a select few and yet management seem incapable of taking any positive action. So I tried my best to keep my head down and concentrate on MY work and I do feel like I've made a big difference. But yet again it will probably go unnoticed.

Sons continue to be difficult and not behaving as well as I know they can. I am at a loss what else to do. Cancel Christmas?

Work gave all staff a mince pie today - cutbacks mean we don't get a free Christmas dinner this year but do get a mince pie instead. I was amazed to see how big it was. I do have very large hands so as you can see - it was ginormous!

Going to go to bed early when I get out of the bath and pray for a good day tomorrow.
