Re: not coping

I'm alright sweetie @outlander. Just watching Netflix right now. Mr A has been watching & when I was watching something earlier he was really watching intently & would try to touch things moving on the screen. He's curled up asleep against my legs now.

Re: not coping

I had a rest day today @outlander. I really couldn't get going. I've done some of the documents for my job, but lots more to do yet. I realised that it's been nearly two weeks since she emailed me, so I need to pull my finger out. I've printed them out, but still more details need to be filled out. Then I have to scan and email them back.

Tomorrow is very busy. I have a double gp appt to do a health review. Then I have my support worker for a couple of hours. After he leaves my cleaner arrives. And I have to leave her for the last hour as my pdoc changed my appt to an earlier time. And then a little after that I am restarting my twice weekly walks.

Re: not coping

I have no idea about when I start the new job @outlander. I know the person I am supposed to support has to have increased funding (from NDIS) before she comes home from the hospital. That takes time.

Re: not coping

The manager/employer is trying to keep me as close to home as possible @outlander. This person is only about 20minutes from me. I have to use my own car to take her for appointments, shopping and anywhere else she needs to go.

Re: not coping

Re: not coping

Yes, I do @outlander. I already had that anyway, and have always had for my cars. It's been hard to afford at times, especially this year, but I'd rather be covered. I've had 2 cars written off since I started driving, and they covered both.

I also have to have a clean driver's licence, vaccinations, police check, basic life support, manual handling and many other documents.
