    Sounds like a really good day - how was A’s first day back?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    To say he enjoyed it would be a lie..... but he doesn't love his job anyway but, it's a job, the company is heading belly up due to Covid so he will keep turning up and doing it until that day because there is no alternative. He has no academic qualifications so getting another job would be near impossible. My son works for the same company and the thought of both of them being out of work sends chills through me.

    Today I did a few jobs online.... banking and looking cheaper insurance quotes..... that was enough for me for 1 morning. It rained all morning, a bit brighter now. Then I had a freak out as a bird came down the chimney and into the stove.....1 for A to sort out after work! Going to try and lift the crochet hook this afternoon... or not. See how it goes. I'm a bit antsy but dont know what to do with that nervous energy. I'll try find something to do.

    Those online jobs are enough for one day! OO I'd have freaked out too!
    What about going for a walk or something? Couch 2 5k app?

    Had a complete meltdown tonight at teatime because I couldn't decide what to cook for A and me. I didn't know what I fancied and couldn't think. Anyway, we came out for a burger and icecream and to give me space from the house. Feeling a bit better with time on my own with A, just catching up.

    You doing ok, love? The past couple of days seem to have been a little bit of a struggle

    Hunni, you're going to be wobbling a bit because A is back at work and you're having to find ways to do things without him and his immediate support. You are flipping awesome and you've got this. You can get through this blippy bit. Besides going out for a burger and ice cream sounds much better than having to cook!
