Our stories
@Faith-and-Hope @Snowie Slept most of the morning and really needed it. Feeling a little more alive now but have things to do as well. Had to unblock an outside drain - it will need to be dug up and replaced at a later stage but for now it is okay enough to use ...is draining slowly but draining again so it will do for now. Luckily my sister's partner is a plumber by trade so we can tackle it together in the summer holidays.
My hand is aching but can rest it now as everything else I have to do I can mainly do with my left hand - and I can have meds to help being home and not having to worry about side effects.
My little boy has been sick again - several days in a row now - he has just finished the course of ABs for his teeth so hoping that was the cause and he will be okay now.
My sister dropped off some cat food yesterday - I am going to take it to the cat centre for her as it is mainly kitten food. She could not face doing it herself but did not want to throw it out. She misses her little boy so much but is doing as okay as she can be. 
I on the other hand am still very much struggling with so much loss lately and yesterday was my Nan's birthday so that has added to those feelings. I still miss her so much after 24 years - feels like a life time ago but also yesterday she was here ...like to think she is always with me and that love we had endures 
@Faith-and-Hope No doubt that is the same way you feel about your Mum Hon - those special people in our lives that taught us so much and were always there 💜💙💚🧡💛
Slept most of the day @Snowie Each time I got up to try to do anything I had no energy and aching everywhere I only managed to get the washing pegged out and in.
@Anastasia I have been able to give Cat her meds a little easier tonight - she didn't fight me as much as she has been but Tobes also left us alone so she wasn't as stressed either. I really am hoping she gets used to it as it will be an ongoing thing for life now. I was taking her to the bed to lay her down but that is when Tobes jumps along the side of the bed and stresses both of us so now getting her food out and giving them to her before she eats - that seems to be working much better (fingers crossed that continues to be the case). She does not seem to be having any side effects from the meds so that is positive also. Tobes has not been sick again today either so hoping the side effects have now passed for him too.
So pleased to hear how positive being at the office has been for you Hon and also that your boy is doing okay. Sometimes that space for ourselves is what is needed for everyone. It is disappointing you cannot go with everyone tomorrow but hoping it will be a fantastic day for your bf and boys. I have not taken my kayak out for years now ...since I got sick actually so that would make it nearly 4 years. I would love to get out on the water again but I am presently in no physical shape to even paddle a short distance - could not even lift the kayak onto the car racks so that is out for a while longer.
We don't have the kids tomorrow - a PD day so whilst it will be tiring sitting around all day it will also be less hectic not having to run from class to class.
