Morning everyone,
Slugsta, so glad that your Mum is OK after the fall, but sorry to hear that you have picked up a lurgy from your OH. Fingers crossed that it doesn't linger and you are over it soon. I've always fancied doing one of those murder/mystery weekends, but it doesn't appeal to OH at all, sadly - glad you and your OH enjoyed it though You must have been relieved to hear from your son too - thank goodness he is OK and missed the worst of the earthquake!
Its a horrible truth about dementia that as it progresses, behaviours and stages that used to drive you to screaming point with frustration can actually become behaviours and stages that you miss, when your loved one deteriorates and they lose the ability to do the things that once drove you mad
I've also got my fingers crossed about the new flat and Alfie and Sky - really hope there isn't a problem with you taking them!
Busy couple of days with work - more glitches with delivery companies. I've been chasing after some stuff that was ordered for me weeks ago, and finally have been told that the delivery company tried to deliver it last month! Only I had no failed delivery slip and the house they said they left it with is (a) right at the far end of the street and (b) claim not to have received any package on my behalf anyway Although the name given by the delivery company matches, the chap pointed out that all in the house work full time and were in work when its claimed that the parcel was left at their address - so I need to sort that again.
Other annoying bits to also be tackled today - been brought to a grinding halt by folk who are very keen for me to provide the service for them - but not so keen to sort the paperwork that I need done by them before I can move forward. So frustrating.
I'm just going to work a half day today - after the extra hours I did last week - and will be going to see Mil this afternoon. Can't say I am looking forward to it, but the dread of seeing her is outweighed by wanting to make sure she is OK and the feeling that if I don't go, it feels like she is being abandoned - yep, I know its daft, but its how I feel and not going will make me more stressed than going, IYKWIM. Just hoping that she is more settled and less upset today - though I'm not holding my breath.
Hope you all have a good day xxxxx
