Things can only get better

 think the difficult bit is looking after a person who thinks that they are ok, or ignores/forgets the limitations they have. You just keep having the same arguments or conversations over and over and how ever many ways to offer to solve problem you still have to come up with more, or work a way round it and it just never ends.

This is so true, Its like we have lost a parent/husband and been replaced with an Adult with a toddlers mind! Terrible Twos all over again. The teenage years are to look forward too not.  Its very tiring and many a time, I wish of running away or just refusing their nag wish latest whim. Why they need to take meds not to try X because its dangerous  To have an adult conversation to share day to day life.  Brain injuries/Tumours are not   $$£% From this Hubby has dementia early stages.  It is soso cruel.       I love looking at your garden photos and your pets I have lost my garden buzz this year.  I am giving myself a break will start again soon and battle the grapevine jungle.  SA you work fulltime and a fulltime carer I raise a cyber Gin to you x Andrea

Good to hear from you again Andrea, you’ve been there since the beginning of my journey with Mr SA so thanks for your support. 

All was going well today until Mr SA saw the news and the panic buying. He is worried shops will run out of beer. He wants me to go to Mr T tomorrow and get him a few crates of beer. Have refused as it’s a running day. I wish the media would stop scaremongering. I’ve deleted my track and trace app as it was taking most of my battery usage. It’s getting ridiculous now time it stopped. 

Tried a new recipe tonight for tomato risotto, made two portions so the other one is tomorrow’s lunch sorted. Put loads of home grown basil on top. 

I buy the magazine Easy Gardens whenever I see it. Picked one up this morning, it’s got some great ideas. I’m going to take an interest in gardening now, do things properly. Mr SA does the watering at night and drowns everything. A lot of the plants have scorched leaves because he does it when the sun is still shining. I’ve asked him not to but he takes no notice. Time to take over I think.

The giant sunflower sharing the pot with the giant courgette plant is starting to flower. I can’t believe the size of these two plants despite them fighting for space in the same pot. Oh well they’re obviously very happy.

I laughed out loud at the thought of Mr SA wanting more beer.
I don't know how you do it.

Mr RS went into the garage for something last night and commented that our beer supply is running low. There are three cases in there, the kitchen fridge is full and that holds two cases, there are three full cases in the van and the van fridge is full and that holds over case!

I don't think we will run out any time soon

And it's Friday 😁

Today will be NSD 11/15.

Have been for a run this morning just over 5k, not a beer run as requested by Mr SA 😆 Noticeably cooler this morning so hopefully I'll be able to take the dog for her ball run on the park this lunchtime, she's really missed it this week with the heat.

Going to book a week off work w/c 9 August, I don't have much in my work calendar that week and have loads of leave left with a new leave year starting September.

The dog got me up at 3.30 this morning to go out. Noticed either her or the cat had been sick in the living room so had to clean that up. Then later this morning noticed one of them had pooped in the corner of the same room. Once again so glad I've got a laminate floor in there not a carpet. They rarely have accidents so one of them must've been desperate. As if I haven't got enough on with Mr SA and his accidents!

RelievedSheff

More accidents for you to clean up. Must be your week for it!

Could you call his bluff and tell him beer is limited to a few cans per person to make him slow down or wouldn’t he fall for it……
The price on the plastering sounds good. I need to get the courage to get somebody in to do our bedroom but I needed a break from workmen for a while. 

The plans for the day out sound great 👍

No that wouldn’t work milann. It’s crates of beer he’s after not cans 😆 I could say there’s a limit on crates although don’t intend to pick up more than two anyway. It’s a lot cheaper in Mr T at £9.99 a crate, Mr M is £13. He’ll have to wait until tomorrow though, I’m not spending any money today.

Took the dog on the park at lunchtime for a ball run and she lost her ball. The amount of balls she’s lost on this park is unbelievable 🙄
