Tough Times

@Zoe7 , I am glad you put your self care my sweet. Hopefully it won't be to late of a night.

Had some dinner also @Former-Member - so going to rest for a little longer then see how I feel. I may need to do some of it in the morning - at least then I will be able to concentrate better ...very tired tonight so rest and sleep might be best. What are you up to tonight?

What was on your menu for dinner @Zoe7 I am trying to eat shepherds pie. I must have married exh2 for potato mashing skills🤣 he does a great job. I am trying to behave myself and not move from my couch. Trying to decide what movie to put on right now. 💖

Pork chops and steamed veggies @Former-Member - quick and easy ...and I do love my veggies I haven't had Shepherd's pie for years - my Nan used to make it and it was awesome ...but anything my Nan cooked was amazing. My Mum and sister got her cooking skills - I like plainer food especially my veggies. If it doesn't have carrot in it then it is not real food lol

Behaving yourself is good - keep trying lol I am giving up on work now - can't concentrate so am going to have my meds and settle in for the night as soon as I feed my fur babies their night biscuits - then they will sleep also. The washing up can wait also - it aint going anywhere

My grandma was the same, she always seemed to make something everyone would eat even though her grandkids where fussy as hell😂 she never wrote anything down so no one has been able re create her food😞 I remember walking into a clients home one Christmas and burst into tears because they where making Christmas cake and it smelled exactly the way grandma's house did when she was baking. I think it was the first Christmas without her. Both her and granddad have been gone a long time now but Christmas is just not the same without them.

I hope your fur babies enjoy their biscuits and sleep all not. My kitty likes to play tag with the walls around two every morning.

@Zoe7 , I hope you have a peaceful night my friend 💖

Yeah my Nan was the same @Former-Member She would also make desserts for everyone then an apple pie for me as I don't eat many desserts. She made the best apple pie or apple crumble and I would more often than not have it all to myself She also made the best gravy with our Sunday roasts - those were the great days.

My grandparents have been gone for a long time too but I still miss them so much - I spent a fair chunk of my life with them so I didn't have to be at home if I could help it. Our high school was really close so I stayed a lot during the week and went to school from there. When I didn't stay during the week I would be there most weekends. Those were my happy days so I so get how those memories hit hard Hon

Luckily my fur babies sleep throughout the night - no 2am antics here but your cat sounds super cute ....annoying but cute 😺

Hey @Lee82 @Former-Member @Purplerain @outlander @Zoe7

Nice to hear about grandmothers ... and food.

I hope you are all doing as well as possible.

Lee I just had a Son day, which means cooking, washing, driving etc. Good to see how he is managing in Covid times.

Still not 100% here @Appleblossom but getting through the days. Definitely looking forward to the weekend so I can rest up some more and hopefully shake this sickness completely.

Great that you had a son day Apple. How are you coping with the isolation yourself?

Thank you @Appleblossom. Been an emotional day for me but it's nearly over. Hope your day was ok😊

I love my Son days, he doesn't come over much because of Covid as I am high risk. God help me when he brings his washing over next, I dread to think how big his pile will be or maybe he will surprise me and will have learnt to use a washing machine 😂 @Appleblossom , glad you had a good day my friend.

This is my Ariel, cute but psycho 😂 @Zoe7
