    Sounds fab!

    I dyed my hair today, banished the horrific greyness! Please try to get some rest today lovely...

    It’s definitely a crutch and stair lift kind of day. I’m not going to stress about it and just use the tools I have

    Wow! That feels like a really grown up thing to say
    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.

    You know as well as I do that it takes a huge amount of strength to actually accept help - whether that's from another person or the tools you have or pacing......

    Definitely use your stair lift that way you're saving spoons to use on more interesting stuff.

    Not a great afternoon. It all sounds ridiculous but.

    Mum rang to say that there were going to be winds of 50mph on Saturday which means we probably can’t go and see them as the ferry crossing will be horrible. Then Si rang to say that there’s signal failures at Basingstoke station so his train is going back to Woking and could I pick him up from there. I panicked because a) I get light halos which makes driving at night exhausting, b) morphine reduction is making my eyes blurry today and c) I’ve never been to Woking and I was terrified of driving there on my own at night. So, I suggested he call Katie who at least would have Dom with her. Next thing I get a call from Jess to say she was going, it was ok cos she had her sat nav and she’d see me in a couple of hours. (Apparently Katie was out with friends). So my 18 yo is going off in her shoe of a car (Fiat 500) with no idea where she’s going, to do what I didn’t have the guts to do

    Ok deep breaths sweetie, its not a case of not having the guts, you have guts in spades, I know you will be worried about Jess but sweetie she should be ok she is a sensible girl x

    It doesn't sound like you suggested he ask Katie purely because you were scared so I'm not convinced guts really comes into it. Don't be so hard on yourself
