Re: not coping

Thats a shame @outlander especially when you went to all that trouble to make sure the house was clean. Not fair on you.

I hope work goes ok for you hon.

Re: not coping

You are right @outlander at least it is done.

It is also nice coming home to a clean house too. A bit like fresh sheets on your bed!

Hoping you are not too busy at work tonight.

Re: not coping

I know that feeling @outlander

Most days I drive on a dirt road to get the kids to school or home. When it rains, it just turns into mud.

Is your operation next week?

Re: not coping

yep! so annoying @Snowie we have gravel on the property but the parts where i need to park dont its all dirt and the driveway because its got clay so even with the gravel its still tends to flick up dirt and stuff

Re: not coping

I hope it all goes well for you @outlander and that you recover quickly. Glad to hear that you are taking some time for yourself afterwards. You certainly need it.

Does your Pop understand that you are going into hospital?
