Got to keep those plates spinning...

Hmmmm. Where to start? There's so much going on at the moment and there's no rhyme nor reason to most of it.
I must admit to finding the past week or so a tad knackering. I could sleep at the drop of a hat (if I was allowed lol), but it's not a physical tiredness, it's a mental one and I can't...

Aren't we due a day off?

Hello. I didn't write anything yesterday, and it feels like eons ago - although you might have enjoyed the break from the daily drudgery that is Constantly Trying's life (shame on you... lol).
I know I have a car. I pay the insurance for it. The name on the registration document is mine. I have a...

Another dip on the rollercoaster

Last night I was too upset to write. Things were just too much for me to sit at the laptop and tippy tappy away trying to get things off my chest. I tend to, when I'm in that mood, sleep on it. Try to sort things out in my head, but this morning I'm in the same boat as I was when I went to...

That'll teach me.

The sun's been out and I've been pottering in the garden, weeding and pulling stones about in the rockery, with supervision of course... It's been a relatively peaceful afternoon, he enjoyed tea - or didn't say he didn't and I've sat thinking "yay, it's not been a bad day today - it must be the...

This got me thinking...

Reading an article (read me) on the fabulous Dementia Journeys got me thinking. The title of "Sex after Dementia", written by Marina Kamenev, caught my eye. I went and read it.
It was a very interesting read, but made me feel like I'm being an awful wife. My view of intimacy with my...

This really upset me - but be warned, it might churn your stomach too.

Last night I went to bed early. Tuesday's are usually a really long day and I'm always ready for bed (although I'm usually ready for bed, Tuesday just compounds this lol).
Having been doing all of the mum things of drop offs and pick ups last night, I'd not seen Emmerdale - although I watch it when...

Like being on a see-saw.

Controversial though it might be, I would appreciate my husband being GPS tagged, not because he's getting lost, but because I haven't a clue where he is. He's oblivious to this. "You know I'm going to ...'s house", "You knew I was visiting ... on my way back", "I don't have to tell you what I'm...

Granny *********

The girls were up and ready to go off for an exciting morning with Granny *********. Biggey and middley went skipping off to the car at 9.30am and the knock on the door to drop them off was just after 12pm.
Granny ********* said she had something to tell me... Middley offered "it wasn't my idea"...

Sunshine from behind the clouds.

The sun is shining and that seems to make everything a little better. I've been so fed up with the miserable grey days where you can't even hang your washing out. Add that to how things have been this week and the weatherman (or woman) would have been describing me as "grey and murky with...

Unexpected Kindness

Yesterday's appointment went as I expected. I'd rang to tell them how its been going and they want to see him in four weeks time when they think they'll up his meds. They think.
So I was a bit flat yesterday afternoon and today. In the process of swapping over phones and sim cards I had missed a...
