Good morning all from a sunny Glasgow, where it is 12°C.
Pleased to read you have arrived safely, Ash.
Sar, I too had one Prosecco too many last night, I should have known better, as I don't drink much these days!
I had a minor, but unsettling, heart episode during the night, followed by excrutiating cramp in my ankle. So little sleep was had.
I've had a few lately, after doing so well. After two days of childminding, I am wiped out, but I am determined to do it.
Litterpicker, you asked how I do it. DH and I are a team and I will keep going as long as I can.
However, it is becoming more and more difficult.😪
Roses, I used to suffer badly from this and the cause was long term medication I was one. The worst was my chest area, it drove me to distraction. I had to wear gloves, when pushing the pram.
Once it flared up badly in Seville, with serious cellulitis. My GP was horrified and said if I had left it any longer, I would have been hospitalised.
Take care and I hope you find some relief soon.
Poor BabyDoll was so cross and defiant yesterday, she wouldn't let her daddy get to work. Apparently, she had hardly slept. Dollie tried to help, but she too wasn't flavour of the month, which is not like Babydoll. She loves Dollie.
We went to Braehead, (DH's least favourite place) for a couple of hours, just to get out of the house. Papa took her for a walk along the river, where she had a total meltdown, (poor DH) while I went to TKMAXX.
They had beautiful ceramic pots, including a strawberry one,
but unfortunately, I couldn't lift nor carry them. 😪
Before going home, we had lunch in MacDonald. We really like this one ( the only one DH will go to) it is spotless, quiet and the staff are friendly and helpful, we got home to receive a picture message from DD, they were in the same McDonalds with Dollie.
We missed them by minutes! They had a lucky escape.🤣
What I did notice was that BabyD, takes after her father. Everything has to be placed on the table a certain way, eaten in a certain order,
and food must be eaten straight from the bag.
DH did not understand this and annoyed her by
interfering trying to help,
Using my experise, from a former life, I have already diagnosed her condition and developed strategies to deal with inheritance idiosyncrasies 😉
We later discovered why she was so cross. She had dreadful diarrhoea, requiring a bath. Not only was she needing a bath, I suffered too, she would not let me clean her up. I could have wept, for I wasn't feeling great and DH was no help at all. He just panicked and flapped!
She refused to go in the shower or the bath, but once she was in, refused to come out, insisting that I sing to her. On the way back to her home, she ordered me not to sing!
She is an awkward and determined little besom. 🥰
As soon as she came out of the bath, she cuddled up to papa for the rest of the afternoon, while I was left with a load of clothes, requiring Vanish and soaking. 🤢
It is always the same, I feed her, nurture her , deal with the ailments and disasters and she, like Dollie favours Papa. DD is exactly the same. Grrr!
Today, I need to do a food shop and later attend my hearing loss consultation.
I am feeling very low and isolated. Dealing with everything else is difficult, without this in the mix.
After that, DH and I are taking the bus to DD's, where we will be joined by Dollie and her parents, who live close by.
I may give the Prosecco a miss! 😉
I wish you all a pleasant day, safe travels and hugs for all, who are struggling. I hope Bella is OK. 💐
