I've just made myself a cuppa and would love a friend if anyone is around?

Hi guys,
Yes volunteering is great and I do it once or twice a week. During Dec/Jan it was twice per week because we had a special roster to cuddle a neonate that was going into foster care so had no family to come visit him. He was discharged on Wednesday this week. So I guess its back down to once a week for now. I regularly do concierge as I enjoy that most. I welcome people, check them in on the computer consoles for their appointments and point them in the right direction for their clinics. It’s a bit boring on a quiet day but on the other hand that’s good as you don’t really want kids coming into hospital.
Yes you are also right about the icecream. It was a nice treat on a hot day. I still have 2 tubs in the freezer.
Thanks for the tags. I hope you all have a great day!

Hey there @Oaktree ☺️🌺
that’s so lovely, thank you for sharing insights into this wonderful work… I must admit, it brought a little tear reading about the little fella there, needing a cuddle 🥹, and it’s really a great thing you do 💜🙌🏻🙂
And the contrast between it being a bit quiet/boring, yet that means few children needing to come to hospital totally makes sense ❤️🩹
I hope you have a lovely afternoon 🌺🙂

Good evening guys, I hope you all had a decent day. My afternoon wasn’t too bad. I did 2 hours on concierge and then 2 hours on the wards making parents tea and coffee. No kids wanted a visit today.

Im glad your mum is ok @Shaz51 🙂🌺
Is there any way to help things so they dont happen on repeat? 💜
Im ok thanks - having a slow day, its been a week of hard medical appointments that tend to put an emotional drain in place that I dont have a well fitting plug for, so I just have to wait till the leaves clog the leak, so to speak 🙂
Im sorry you've had such an early wake-up; how are you doing? 💜🌺

Happy Chinese/Lunar New Year guys! Today marks the start of the year of the dragon. Apparently you shouldn’t wash your hair today or tomorrow being days one and two then not on day seven or fifteen as it washes your luck and fortune away.
