Getting out of my comfort zone

Karmacat

Ah, using the loft as a holding area - especially when you have a big DS to fetch them down again - that, I understand.

Also understand your being shattered when you have to walk *slower* than your own pace, isn't that awful! Hope you can put your feet up now.

Yes KC, six footers have their advantages.

Quick post from blackberry so excuse any spelling mistakes. Have spent the best part of last 36 hours in hospital with Mum. Mega tired and mega stressed.

Oh Gill. I'm sorry to hear this - I'll be thinking of you.

Thanks folks. Back from hospital now, about to have some toast and then go to bed. Managed to get some sleep last night, but was up and about early. Mum was taken ill in the early hours of Sunday, and of course I was feeling guilty in case I'd tired her out on Saturday, but it turns out to be more than that. They are going to sedate her tonight, in the hope that she gets some rest, as that is part of the problem at the moment. I just missed getting a parking ticket too! I parked on double yellows (as you do, in a panic) and then forgot about it. When my sister arrived a few hours later, she was walking past my car and saw a traffic warden just about to write the ticket, so pleaded my case, and ran into the hospital to get me.

Gill - you can only do your best, and you're doing far more than that already. Pleased to hear you managed to avoid the parking ticket, hope your mothers condition improves. Being self employed means there's no chance of compassionate leave etc., so it must make it more difficult.

I'm glad your sister turned up when she did - and I hope your mum got some rest. You too .... I'll be back on here whenever I can, still hoping things are going to turn out well for you and your mum.

Thanks for the update was worried about you and your Mum no need for guilt you are doing your best and nobody can do more than that.
