It must be like living with an adult sized child who will be forever at the Terrible Two stage of life. You'll either want to hug them better when they're in a tantrum, which doesn't work, or run a mile just to get a bit of peace.Sending you (((hugs)))I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

It is indeed Chrystal and there's no respite from it right now. At least when I'm physically in the office I can get a break from it. No sign of that happening any time soon unless things change dramatically lockdown wise.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7

It’s good you still get out for your exercise. At least that’s a little break from the house.
Your plants sound lovely. Enjoy planting them up and even better enjoy sitting in the garden enjoying them.Pleased your new desk and chair are working out for you too.January spends - £587.587 -
Glad your more comfortable with your new desk and chair.
Arghhhh to Mr SA, you deserve a medal or at least a very large gin.

Goodness living with Mr SA must be worse than living with a child with all the constant demands and clearing up after him you have to do. Mixed blessing being able to work from home as I guess unless you go out for exercise you get no break from him. I have said many times you must have the patience of the saint but I don't expect you have much choice and I am sure you get incredibly frustrated sometimes.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.

So while I was in the bath Mr SA had a telephone review of his meds with the GP and they have upped his anti-depressants because he said he feels a bit low at the moment. Don’t we all! I’m not joking I think our doctors is on commission from the drug company. He’s not with it at the best of times and I do wonder if this is the right thing to do. No point trying to phone the doctors to query as they never answered the phone when things were normal. Personally I’m dead against taking any type of medication unless absolutely necessary and that includes painkillers.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7
