HHC 7.45am ?
Count me in hon.. I need to get in the shower.
OMG I have just seen two male blackbirds in my garden, well I say garden it was more like on the patio peering at me through the door. One was definately smaller than the other and I think it could possibly be a juvenile male blackbird of the bigger bird. It's strange because I have never seen two males together as I thought they always fought each other if in the same garden.Mortgage Free as of 20.9.17Declutter challenge 2023, 2024 🏅 🏅⭐️⭐️

Morning All
Well the kids have gone to school and I'm not at work till 2:00p.m so I have about 5 hours to get flying , WM is on so I'm off to do HHI now then to tackle the Kitchen , hope I can get done as much as I did yesterday0 -
Anyway back to normality – lol. I have my care-worker coming out today so I have to make sure the living room and kitchen are nice and tidy etc..
Also have my STAIRWAYS group this thursday and the psychiatrist on Friday. Not looking forward to Fridays appointment as she will be changing my mood stabilisers over to anti-psychotics on a gradual dose, now I have lowered my dosage of the other tablets. Should be an interesting time as D has already noticed and mentioned that I am rollercoasting with moods again almost to the point I was at before I was diagnosed with the Bipolar..oh great!! Why can't I ever notice this.. So all in all a busy week, oh I also have kidlet duty tomorrow for my friend T. And here was me thinking that Wednesday was going to be my "quiet" day..fat chance!!
We've had another busy night here and another trip to A&E, where we waited over 2 hours and still weren't seen so we left. CPN due out today and to be honest i'll be glad to see him. Didn't get to bed until near 3am so i think it will be a very slow day. From now on i don't think we'll bother with the A&E or out of hours cause there all crap.
Right i best get the kids ready for school...Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -
