Good morning all from a sunny Glasgow, where it's only 1°C.
Sending my love and condolences to Dragonfly, it's been a tough few years for you.?
I've had yet another night of weird dreams, The most bizarre was waiting in the bowels (excuse the pun ?) of Amsterdam ( never been there) main station for DH, who had been in the toilet for two hours!!! ? In the dream, I too was desperate, but the remaining cubicles were being used as hospital consulting rooms!! Heaven knows where all that came from. It all seemed so real, I was quite annoyed at DH when I woke up! ?
Today is DS2's 39th birthday, (I cannot believe it). We nearly lost him twice as a toddler after he suffered anaphylaxis and was also a chronic asthmatic. I couldn't work, because I had to go to his school daily with his nebulizer and once the management learned that I was a qualified teacher, ended up being given jobs to do, while delivering his meds!
We had prepared ourselves that he might not reach adulthood. In those days, epipens had to be sourced from the USA at an extortionate rate and were difficult to obtain. He is now a 6ft strapping, bearded redhead and looks like someone from Braveheart. He was born on Mother's Day, a very unwell, wee baby. I always get quite tearful on his birthday, when I look back on those difficult times.
He is not a happy bunny at all, as although his birthday falls on a weekend, he is on call and we are in lockdown. To compensate, his fiancée has hired his favourite pinball machine for the weekend. She says that he has reverted back to childhood! ?
This is the anniversary of DD's cancelled wedding last year, so she is tearful too!!!?
At least the sun is shining ?and it's Chewbacca's birthday also???
Gaga, how upsetting for you to lose your card, but I'm glad to hear you managed to sort things out. I would love to potter in the garden today, but I'm still feeling under the weather, so altering some trousers is the plan.
For all those struggling, I hope you manage to get through the day, with as little pain and anxiety as possible. ?
