"Mum, I Think You Just Need To..."
"...work tonight."
So said my youngest, Hope.
Oh, how she knows me.
After a couple of years now where we had 'The Talk' about my involvement in prostitution with our daughter, she's a bit more clued into me than I thought.
Let's backtrack.
I last hooked on the 23rd of December. Did good. Weather wasn't bad. Then, on Christmas Eve, our granddaughter and her partner came down to stay with us (me and Karen, my wife) through Christmas Eve, into Christmas Day. Boxing Day, we all made an early start and drove (Well, Kaz did) from Surrey to Derbyshire, some 144 miles for 2 days spent with my eldest daughter and then my sister. Then, travelled on the 29th December from Derbyshire to Sheffield- 46 miles - to spend time with old friends that I used to hang with.
Then we drove from Sheffield to Newcastle - my wife's birthplace - some 129 miles to see in the New Year in with her parents. Lovely time too.
Stayed to the 5th of January, drove all the way down to Surrey - 298 miles - and got home.
Was tired...antsy....had a lovely time but, apparently, I was quite snappy and picky with my youngest.
I like to get sorted, so washing on, cleaning, tree down etc etc...
So, Hope says "Mum, why are you so snappy to me?"
I told her I wasn't; just wanted things done.
She said "No you're not. I think you just need to work tonight.."
I looked at Karen. She nodded.
Fine! So, I was snappy!
Shower, ready and went out.
Rooted everyone I could. Really enjoyed it. Felt satisfied.
Next morning? She asked if I "..felt better now?"
Like I say, the girl knows me.
