Diary of a book addict

[Jaquaia]

I'm going to start reading one of my uni books but I will read chapters of Mansfield Park in between to break it up. Need to finish writing up my notes from last Monday too. Going to try and remember to take my left splint tomorrow. We don't have tables to rest on and holding my notepad while I write can get uncomfortable

[Suzi]

That's a good idea - can you put it in your bag now so you don't forget or do you need it now?

[Jaquaia]

Possibly going to need it today as my wrist is achey. I haven't taken my methotrexate this week as I was told not to if I had an infection/needed antibiotics. Makes sense, surpressing the immune system won't really help the body fight off an infection

Managed to get a couple of hours with J. His parents have said about him having the children when he's off on a Tuesday, they've pretty much always been with grandparents up to now. I feel selfish that one of my first thoughts was we'd get even less time together then we do now.

[Suzi]

Do they want a break?
It's after school isn't it? Can you find ways to get other time together?

[Jaquaia]

They stay over. As things are, he's either working or has the children and only 2 nights to himself a month. He volunteers at the museum so that takes up the Fridays he's off. He has commissions to do and work for the museum, which he can only really do while the children are at school so we'll have lunch some days. If he's off on a Thursday it doesn't work with my driving lesson, it would be a couple of hours before he has to go collect the children. If he's off at the weekend he has the children. He needs to fit in shopping and jobs in the house. Day shifts means the odd hour or so afterwards. Nights means the odd hour or so before. So the Tuesdays he's off have been the only time we've had a decent amount of time together and actually able to go do something. Losing that means we pretty much go back to snatching the odd hour here and there and I don't want that. I feel guilty and selfish for feeling that way but I want more time with him, not less.

[Suzi]

I can understand the way that you are feeling.
Did he get to see his solicitor to push things forward a bit?

[Jaquaia]

Everything is being rewritten to give her all the money. He's emailed twice for an update and had no reply so is trying again today. He can't ring as his signalbox is broken so has even less time free at work.

All the money?
