I'm ok too thanks @outlander . Not as exhausted as I was yesterday after getting back late Friday. Loads of kid wrangling when I was away. Mostly had a lovely time, just one afternoon support that went awry which I'm going to do a complaint about. Family is doing really well and adult child is recovering from surgery nicely.
Quiet weekend alone here, catching up on admin stuff etc.
Feeling nervous about an occupational therapy assessment for driving training tomorrow morning. As usual haven't heard from my coordinator of supports to finalize arrangements so I won't know til after 9 tomorrow morn whether it's at 10 or 12 and where it's happening.
Have a good day and stay cool when you can. In my eyes you're always cool!

Hi @Zoe7 sorry for the delay replying. I'm doing ok today. Heading for a nap shortly. Hope you are travelling a bit better today.

Still really flat and unmotivated @eth but need to find some energy from somewhere. Need to ask my sister if I can borrow some money otherwise I won't have internet or phone as it comes out over the next couple of days. Hopefully it is Tuesday so I have time to get to the bank tomorrow. Finances are ridiculous right now - too many bills at once and my relief day pay won't go in for another fortnight - it is just adding to how low I am feeling
I will need a nap too later today - feeling totally exhausted - looking forward to the holidays moreso now than I was. I am going to try to pick up another day this Thursday or the next one to help out a bit though. It will mean no day off but I need the money more.

Thanks @eth Much appreciated.
No support from my brothers - they refused to talk about my Br (abruptly changed the subject), when I phoned specifically to talk about him.
The exact same response from them, as when my Dad died (they refused to talk about him).
People on the forum were very kind yesterday - that's my only support, at the moment.

Thanks @Zoe7 Muchly.
My neighbour's extremely loud Boom Boom speakers (supposed music) all last night - has given me a splitting headache. Couldn't sleep till very late.
Getting ready for my back neighbour to come over, in 20 minutes time.
I just went out & bought some goodies (nibblies) for her (& me).

I think it is wonderful you still have that regular get together with your neighbour @Adge I hope you can enjoy her company despite the headache.
Not good about the loud music - it is both unsettling and disrespectful for it to be going on so late at night. I certainly hope it does not happen again tonight for you
Any news on your B today?

Nice Nibblies with neighbour at my place @Zoe7 @greenpea
Yes loud music on a Sunday night is the worst - hopefully not.
The neighbours have finally woken up (about 45 minutes ago), & have turned their speakers (music back on).
I'm gona have to lie down (nap) now.
My Br is still in intensive care, probably will be for several days.
They sent him in for more surgeries (this morning). He's still sedated, not conscious yet.
Thanks.
Adge
