Well I know I've been hyper/sleepless etc etc recently ..... think I pinned so much hope on the CPN / OT assessment today ... (I'm afraid I still believe that one day my fairy and her magic wand will come ) .... but feel I've ended up with more on my plate rather than less ...... yes, they agree more day care is best way forward for mum - and me ....... will chase up Social Services referral ... going to arrange detector service (alarms thru to warden centre stuff) .... They get two action points which is a matter of making a couple of telephone calls ...... (absolutely lovely people ... not decrying them personally!)
Me - I got a list of things to do .... to add to the existing ........
New lock to get ... handyman to arrange (and time off work to arrange for him to attend) .... need ribbon for keys ... need new signs near doors .... need to sort out different ways for her to manage cash even for the corner shop ...... need to arrange time off work while detectors fitted ...... suggestion we repeat eye test .....(more time off work) ..... etc etc
Great they come up with ideas (even if I did feel foolish I should have already thought of some of them myself) ... but who gets to do them all? Yours truly, as per .......
I know it's all short term stuff but just feel the 'treadmill' of errands and jobs never ends ......
OT suggested I needed to think about 'getting people in' to do some of the things I do - e.g laundry, shopping .... to which I replied "What I really want is for someone to step in and do the worrying and the organising ....... "
Sorry, just weary and having a 'sorry for myself' moment ......
Thanks for listening, Karen, x
