Listening

It’s official.  I am a good listener.  I’m not so good at the asking questions thing though.  But the listening I’m ace at.  So, I just need to work on the active part of active listening.  I am going to have to find some other topics to talk about during these exercises we have to do in class too.  I keep harping on about being a single mum and finding it a bit of a struggle.  I do embellish though, as it’s not that bad really.  It’s just the loneliness part that gets me at times.  That and the fact that I have to manage everything completely on my own.  On the whole, that’s not too much of a problem, but at times it’s daunting.  Especially if I have too much to deal with at once.

So, I need to think up some good fictional scenarios, or I need to find something else in my life that’s worth moaning about for a bit.  I’m not going to mention The Situation, or the continuing family trauma.  I’m not going to talk too much about The Ex or The Family either.  So, that doesn’t leave me much then.  Hmm.  Impending Jobseekers?  Impending potential homelessness if I don’t find a job by July?

Actually I have had a bit of a look at rental properties that are around at the moment, and moving might not have to be as traumatic as I first thought.  Of course it’ll cost a fortune and be a bit stressful and stuff, but it might not be that bad if it needs to happen.  I’m pretty sure I’m only going to be twenty pounds a week worse off.  And I know it doesn’t sound a lot, but it makes a huge difference to my weekly budget.  Maybe we should move anyway?  But I do like where we’re living now.  Even if it is at the top of a hill.  Hmm.  Maybe I could talk about that stuff.  I might be able to waffle on about that for a while.
