Morning dear jorgie
,
I hope you enjoyed a relaxing breakfast!
Yeah, it'd be really great if you got that. If you have it left in you, fight for it -- have a good ol' meltdown in the presence of SSs. Let them see what *you* are enduring as well as your mum. Easy said, I know, I know.
Hope you get that spell in the garden too. Mum had a good night's sleep so is quite awake this morning. Even if asleep she senses when you leave the room and starts calling. It means it's not even worth trying to sit out. I'd be like a cat on a hot tin roof waiting for the kango hammer holler
.
But I *do* have two days away, to keep me sane. I mean that. At the end of a bad day I'm teetering along the line of sanity/insanity. I wouldn't have lasted much longer without it (I wish it was 3 days!). Likewise, I don't know how you're sustaining your input. You've a great deal of stamina, jorgie. Nevertheless, you're human and you need time out. I'll keep saying it and hopefully the UK SS will telepathically hear my voice like a kango hammer holler

We can get carer's allowance here and work up to 16 hrs a week too. I did that for some years when caring for mum and dad. But their needs were very light then. When I was made redundant it almost coincided with dad's death and mum's needs increased. She was of sound mind, however, so we had a great relationship. Somewhat of a team in many ways.
I'm thinking I'd like to work one day a week now but it'd need to fit into the intricate house of cards I live in. Watch this space.
♡ Let the sun shine on your face.
