    Thanks for the wine recommendation Joey :)

    That's Monday done :)

    Annoyingly footie is on again tonight :( Again!! I was pottering around in the kitchen quite happily listening to the radio when Mr SA came to complain why am I not sitting with him. Might be to do with I don't want to watch football.

    Mr SA has got blood tests at the local clinic on Thursday, he's never been to this clinic before and can't think where it is, plus I really should accompany him on things like this so I'm working at home that day, I can break off and accompany him then carry on working when we get back and still do my hours.

    I didn't get time to go for a run in the gym today due to more or less back to back meetings, I barely had time to eat lunch and go for a quick walk in the lovely sunshine. Another busy day tomorrow but have yoga straight after work.

    Then off Wednesday for Benidorm Live, work at home Thursday, so it'll be Friday and payday before I know it :)

    That's Tuesday done :)

    Another busy day but finished early for yoga which was lovely and relaxing.

    Looking forward to my day off tomorrow and going to the theatre. Even looking forward to working at home Thursday.

    On a less positive note, caught Mr SA using the garden as a toilet earlier on. This isn't the first time and I even caught him using the kitchen sink a couple of weeks ago. Sorry I know it's too much information but I can't tell anyone in RL they'd be appalled :( I don't know what I can do about this and it's stressing me out :( He just denies it even though I've seen it with my own eyes and tells me to stop being grumpy when I tell him off about it :(

    Aargh!!

    Oh my goodness :eek: the kitchen sink :eek: that's just awful :eek:. Can you threaten him with some kind of dire retribution like losing his allowance, or you going on holiday without him, or even divorce? He must know that he shouldn't be doing that :mad:.

    I'm pleased you enjoyed yoga and have Benidorm to look forward to :).

    Thanks HH - it's difficult dealing with someone with brain damage they just don't see a problem, nothing I say will make a difference. The old him would never have done this in a million years.

  • Warn him that if the neighbours see him they will call the police and he will be arrested for indecent exposure
    Then he will have a criminal conviction
    Might that make him think?

    So sorry Mr SAA is being so stressful. I do see how he doesn't see it iyswim. All the hidden issues of being a carer for someone with brain damage. You’re amazing.

    Still...think of your next holiday and enjoy the sunnier days, and breathe... :)
