Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, it's 11° here.
GM, I hope all goes well today, an anxious time for all of you. I was thinking a lot of Gymstagran yesterday and couldn't begin to imagine how she feels. To lose a child is an unbearable suffering, as some on here already know. ?
MOMB, I hope the wee family are settling in and all is going smoothly.
A small shop for me today and trying to finish off the death clean, before DD and SIL move in tomorrow.
I could have wept when they turned up unexpectedly yesterday at 9am with even more boxes for their room, despite the fact I hadn't finished emptying drawers etc.
I am having an RA flare up at the moment and no stamina so can only manage a small bit at a time, as any activity is leaving me exhausted.
They arrived when I was frustratingly locked out of a bank account and I was frantically trying to sort it. To say I was not in the best of humours, is a slight understatement. Normally, I wouldn't bat an eyelid, but since having Covid, I have felt very anxious and seem have lost my indomitable spirit to tackle anything life throws at me.
Because they were off to a wedding, they had decided to get ready here, because SIL keeps his kilt and jacket here (and of course it needed pressed, all million pleats in it).
DD decided to have a shower and wash her hair here too, since our hairdresser is very unwell and and the owner asked if she could wash her hair first, as they were so short staffed. I had forgotten the chaos she leaves in her path!
I asked DD if she would like me to do her make up (she is a bit of a tomboy) and surprisingly she agreed. She has the most beautiful, sparkling eyes and looked absolutely stunning, when I had finished. The look on her SIL's face, when he saw her, made me feel quite emotional.
There were a number of positives amongst all the drama. I found the missing boot, I have been searching for since Christmas (in a box of summer shoes) , got rid of a fair number of pairs I liked, but will never be able to wear again and discovered a few new pairs, bought when I was shielding, but I had forgotten about. I do not think I have enough feet, nor time left to wear them all!
I had two nicknames in school, Mary Doll and Imelda (as in Marcos). Its a bit late now for help with my obsession. ?
I wish you all the best of days and still keep the other poorly daughters and all those struggling in my thoughts and prayers.
For those with activities planned for today, enjoy!
Susan, I hope wee H is on the mend!
I will be back later to catch up, I am a woman on a mission this morning!?
. I’m sorry your husband has had bad news grandmadinosaur. A belated happy birthday ash, sounds an excellent day. Understand the shoes marydoll, far too many here I don’t wear and perhaps never will.
