We have had friends (of 30 years) to stay this weekend. Mum has met (and forgotten) them loads of times. They are great - muck in - chat to mum - go with the flow.
However it's me that's the fly in the ointment today.
M & M (not their real names!) are here & I have so looked forward to seeing them.
And yet.... I'm not enjoying their company. They do understand that I have to sit & chat with mum and give her her supper at 18:30, tablets, see Pj's are all put on OKay.
But now that I have some spare time before mum's bedtime - here I am tapping away to you guys. It's not so simple as - "i'm conditioned & have a routine to follow" I know that - I am just not "here". What is wrong with me?
