My special place

Hi @Snowie,

I am so glad you had a lovely time away in Adelaide, you deserve some reprieve right now. 🥰

It also sounds like you had so much fun! What was your favourite part?

Back to reality - how does that feel?

Thanks @AuntGlow

I think my favourite part was the concert. Just watching D enjoy herself so much and the smile on her face. She had been waiting for this for quite awhile.

Yep back to reality. Went and saw mum. Took in her recliner chair and her mini fridge into her room. Done 3 loads of washing too and got clothes drying everywhere around the house!! Will take mum up the street tomorrow.

Not really a fan of reality but we can't stay on holidays forever. That would be so nice!

Your Adelaide trip with your D sounds wonderful @Snowie 😊 so pleased you both had this opportunity. 💕

Aww, that's so so sweet @Snowie

Okay, on the topic of washing - is it cold where you are still?? None of my washing is drying and I don't have a dryer in my new place. It was honestly such a privilege! 😭

How does it feel seeing mum now that you have more space from each other? 💛

Today really tested my patience with mum. She was in a bad mood when I picked her up and it didn't get any better. Her appt. didn't go well. Also, she cracked it because she wants a new phone and I told her she didn't need one. Firstly a new phone would cost too much and secondly the phone is fine, she just has trouble using it.

Ended up buying her a walker too. After 3 weeks and 4 phone calls, My Aged Care still couldn't tell me when an OT can assess her for one (even though she has been approved for medical equipment). We are in 'the cue' apparently.

Looking forward to a 'mum free' day tomorrow.

Also saw pdoc last week. He wants to change my meds (the dosage). We were also going to discuss stopping ECT but he still wants me to continue. In one way I want to stop it, but in another way I guess I'm a bit scared too. What happens if things go downhill again like last time.

Anyway, that's my rant for the day.

Feeling for you @Snowie 💜

Well my 'mum free' day didn't happen, but at least I got to go to the shops by myself. Went in, got what I needed, got out without running into anyone. Just the type of shopping I like!!

Finished getting presents for D (it's her Birthday Sat) and something for H for Fathers Day.

Ended up dropping the walker of to mum. At least she was in a better mood.

Been really annoyed and frustrated today but don't know why. Took it out on the bathroom and scrubbed the shower, toilet and basin's. At least it was put to good use!

Today sucked

What's been happening today @Snowie? Do you want to talk about it at all?

Also I realised you commented before, but I didn't see it - I apologise.

It sounds like your time with mum was quite challenging... how was your solo day? 💛
