Twisted -self care
Every morning I drive east into the sun.
At traffic lights I put sunscreen on the backs of my hands.
This morning I realised that this is self care,
Very rare for me.
I need to do more of this....

Nice idea @Faith-and-Hope and useful too. I like upcycling, recycling as something new, especially when the things are still pretty and stuff. Go you!
Hey @Catcakes sorry you're feeling low today, thank you so much for your kindness yesterday, you certainly made a difference for me. Especially your thought that since I'd 'done it' yesterday, then if I remember that the next time, it might not be so bad. I appreciated that very much.
Your ma being a bit prickly made me think of when one of mine was little. After a particular trip away, during which time most of her food came from baby food cans, she wouldn't eat anything that did not come out of one of those cans. It got really tiresome because prior to that I'd cooked everything from fresh, but she was a determined little thing. I just got a few more cans, fed her the contents and washed and saved the cans, filled them with my cooked food (out of her sight) and she ate them happily!
Maybe save a few containers that the supplied food comes in and use them for your mum with your own cooking .... I'm being mean, but it made me smile at how the mind can change perceptions due to some simple packaging.
Mind you, something that would give you a rest from extra work would probably be very welcome too. ![]()
@CheerBear it is remarkable just what we can do isn't it. I hope you're travelling a bit better today. Each day is one day closer to full healing. Thinking get well thoughts at you. ![]()
