    J finishes starts nights on Monday and his last shift will finish Thursday morning. They're with their mum when he works.

    Oh OK! I didn't know that!
    How's the homeschooling going? Are you and J getting quality time together too?

    Some. When they're with us, A often doesn't settle until after 10pm so it's harder then. And when they're not with us he's working. The children mostly work well here.

    That sounds hard from a relationship point of view - especially one which has just started living together...

    We get evenings together when he's on days, afternoons when he's on nights, and he only works 14 days in 28 so it's not as bad as it sounds. And the children behave better with us so we get plenty of family time. And he always looks after me, I'm under strict orders to rest today as even getting dressed exhausted me today.

    I’m glad you’re resting, you don’t seem to have stopped since you moved in
    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.

    I physically can't do it today, I've done 2 washes and that's it as that doesn't take much energy, but even that is tiring today. I'm injecting the minute the driver hands me my meds, and hopefully getting back on track with the methotrexate will help

    I sympathise I've been the same for the last 3 days. Literally standing took too much energy...

    Yep! I ended up sitting down and I'd showered and dressed this morning. Going across to the shop ended with me needing to sit down for an hour. I'm glad I've already wrapped all the Father's Day presents as I don't know if I'd manage them today. Still been able to outsmart J though. He keeps checking up on me to make sure I'm resting so I sent him a photo of the last curtain I was hemming for the playhouse. He reminded me that I'm supposed to be resting so I pointed out that sewing is relaxing and may help unstiffen my hands and asked if he'd be happy with me sat cross-stitching... yes. I asked what the difference was.

    Game, set and match to me!

    I'm glad you've been sitting at least! That's cool!
