Buffy Keeps on the Straight and Narrow

  • Evening :)

    Weirdly after writing all that yesterday I had a really good day with my sister :) B IL is doing pretty well considering everything - immensely tired so asleep mostly but they want to move him out of ICU. He woke up briefly and recognised my sister :):)

    We talked about Mum, make up and a little bit of politics. We are different but hopefully today I was some help to her.

    Mum isn't well - she has a cough, this is a deeply unusual experience and she is most put out!

    I have set up my "miracle morning" stuff. going to make some tea and find some thing nice to eat. (Just had Goodfellas Pizza, it wasn't nice...)

    XXXX
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Oh I'm so glad things are going better, and I hope your mum feels better soon.

    How do you get on with Miracle morning? I've read a bit about it but never tried it

    Buffy's BIL has been moved to another ward.
    Progress is being made slowly :)

    Sorry I haven't been here to update, Mum has been ill and has refused to go to the doctors, just constantly coughs and is tired and is very very very very difficult to look after.

    I appreciate no one wants to be a burden and she is quite independent so I don't blame her but her negativity is overwhelming.

    My poor sister got the full force of me venting I feel so bad about that. truly. Cos like she doesn't have enough to deal with! but two weeks and only seeing one other person it is difficult. I used to be round loads of people and doing loads of things. Life at the moment is so hard for my sister and B in L, and then hard in a much lesser way for Mum and I. Although I am very frightened by her breathing and the idea she could have pneumonia.

    I can't think about that tho. drive myself nuts.

    I had the fish pond built. I should be happy but sometimes getting what you want makes you realise it isn't what you want at all.

    Don't ask too much deep and meaningful tonight.

    I need to start selling things.

    Quick and dirty list
    (with a rough price, been looking online for the prices of stuff)
    1. large dog crate 25
    2. small dog crate 20
    3. small dog crate 20
    4. hamster cage 5
    5. hamster cage 5
    6. Run 5
    7. Run 10
    8. CD rack 3
    9. fish tank 15
    10. Fish stuff 7
    11. Puppy pen 15


    I am very upset tonight. What an utterly rubbish day.

    Night all XX
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Hello Buffy, can't believe I didn't notice you had a new diary. So good to see you back. Sorry to read it's been a tough time recently, you know I know how it is with hospitals :( Hope your mum feels better soon - like Beanie says could you make her the appointment and then take her there to make sure she goes? Hugs from me xx
