Can I change my March target to 21 please Shaggy? It feels a bit like a cop-out, but it's more realistic..


Calling in early with 5/21, although I've just thought to myself "I wish I could have a very large glass of wine, and could I also have ear plugs please". Mum and I have been out on key errands since 10.30 am and I've just sat down with some soothing classical music and my laptop. I deliberately took her requested newspaper into her room, but she's come and sat down next to me and started talking about the news items. Now I feel like a heel because I told her I needed to concentrate - I was composing an update about a respite home to email to my siblings. Truly, I love her, but I also love peace and quiet. Bad Satchmo

You are definitely not 'bad Satchmo' - it must be an incredibly difficult situation for you and I admire you for not resorting to 'a very large glass of wine' - not sure I would have your willpower. Sending you (slightly dodgy!) hugs :grouphug:

1st Smiley Day - 7/26 AFDs

Miss_Piggy

Good morning all

No update on scores for me as we went out for a meal last night which I had wine with. Today will definately be AF though as I feel tired and a bit irritable and am absolutely certain that will not be improved with wine!

Satchmo - as sukeyboo said , you are most definately not bad satchmo! Everyone needs their own space and peace and quiet at times.

(((Hugs))) Satchmo. Full-time carers have a tough time getting any time to themselves and it is incredibly wearing - I speak from experience. Only a good person can do it well, and you just need a break.


6/31 please, Shaggy.

Joining in the group hug for you Satchmo - caring is so tough and you're entitled to whatever "me" time you can get.
miss piggy, I'm in just that same irritable mood today! Everything is just "grrrr.." !!
Declaring early so I stick to Tea to keep calm:D 7/31 please Shaggy.
