Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow, where it is 6°C.
So many posts already, *Mick is getting earlier and earlier. In the past, we used to wait until 6am, for him to start the thread!
Pleased to read your granddaughter is home again, Sar. My son had a similar childhood to hers, due to chronic asthma and anaphylaxis.
I didn't sleep well last night, worrying about Babydoll. She was s so unwell yesterday, still being sick after three days, that after examining her, the GP advised her parents to take her to A&E at the Sick Children's Hospital yesterday.😪
What a rotten second birthday she has had.
The GP was also worried about a constant rash, in addition to her eczema, she has had for ages. She is definitely her daddy's girl and his double in looks and health conditions.
A thorough examination at the hospital did not reveal anything sinister, it looks like it is a particularly nasty gastric bug.
The paediatrician suggested giving her apple juice and ice lollies to rehydrate her, both of which she has discovered that she loves.
The doctor went and got an ice lolly for BabyD, for which she promptly thanked her. 😍
She has been well brought up!
She was eventually discharged last night, with the advice, that if she is not any better, they have to bring her back this morning.
DS faced timed us last night and the wee soul looks so poorly, not her usual manic self. I was very upset, for her daddy was permanently unwell as a child and it triggered those bad memories.
This should have been her day with us, but her parents knowing how vulnerable I am, have taken time off work and obviously don't want her out of their sight.
It looks as if DIL has now caught it too. That is probably due to BabyD throwing up on DIL's face, when they took her into bed with them.
Frankly, much as I adore her, I am relieved that we have a day
off, I am permanently exhausted and in pain and this nonsense with my mouth is really dragging me down.
My mouth is as bad as ever! 😡
However, the weight I have been trying to lose for the last ten years, is falling off!
I shall need a whole new wardrobe soon. 😉
I hope the cruisers enjoy Gibraltar, DH and I had a few trips there, where he would collect expensive whiskies. I would give him my duty free allowance and he would buy me something from the Swarowski shop! 🤣
The added bonus of the duty free status is that DH used to bring me lovely gifts back from there, when he was golfing.
I used to call them guilt gifts, because he would send me photos of himself on a sunny golf course, while I was sitting in the staffroom, with rain running down the windows!
I do not plan to do much today , apart from going to the surgery and then get petrol. I seem to be driving a lot more, since changing to an automatic.
After sheilding for two years, I had totally lost my confidence.
Tonight, I am duty sacristan for the Mass of the Last supper. The P.P. tasked me with finding Apostles for the Washing of the Feet, an almost impossible task. No-one is ever keen and I was subjected to many detailed stories of how bad people's feet were, when they declined! 🤣
I wish you all a pleasant day and Blossom, how exciting for you, I hope your day goes well. 🥰
