Re: not coping

I got home 30 mins ago. @outlander. It looks like it’s going to be a nice day so I’ve put a load of washing on. I’ll hang it out when it’s done and then I’ll go to bed.

When I had a normal job I preferred mornings because they always seemed to go quicker. I hope the other one stays asleep for you! At least you will have some alone time while the others are out.

Re: not coping

Yeah she had a good birthday @outlander House back to normal now!!

Pop free might be a good rest for you. You can have some time to yourself which you don't often get.

I hope the rest of your shift was good @outlander.

It must be nice to have some alone time this afternoon. I hope you can make the most of it.
