Email from MIL very late last night about some work that I am doing for her (work I've done before for her another one off, a few hours, the start of July).
Tacked onto the end of it was a few paragraphs about something that she was looking after for me/us: the piano from my childhood. She wants to give it back to me.
I have no room for it in this house. She knows that.
She said that if she doesn't hear from me, she'll dispose of it.
She's also looking after a beautiful antique kitchen dresser for me. There was no mention of that in her email, I noticed.
Was all over the place when I read that last night...last thing before going to bed. So angry. Just wanted to shout at her and tell her to stuff her work. Contemplated arranging other work for that evening and just not showing up.
Obviously didn't do anything or say anything.
I told my mum that my new motto is 'inaction is action'...that doing nothing is actually doing something. She laughed about it. My mum is very emotional, and I know that she finds it difficult to relate to me sometimes. I'm very, very private and cautious in my actions...she's the opposite.
I'd had a good day up to that point last night. Work was plentiful and it was good work too, easy and relaxed, the weather was lovely, and I found some very nice, bargain jeans for my new frame. I'm now a UK size 8 (US size 4).
