The Best View Comes After the Hardest Climb.

Glad that you were able to get a doctor’s appointment for your mum. Face to face appointments seem to be like gold dust, so great that you got one.

Also in denial about the new term starting! Have a lovely time having coffee with your friends.

Oh it was on the phone, he was alright. Just like a textbook of what is wrong with mum. And not many solutions. Sounds silly but it is a bit like the rabbit, he needs to wait for the specialist too. 

Trouble is that phone appointment is when I am back at work. So Mum won't be able to get much from it. 

In other news, all bets are off as to todays tasks. I have hurt my back and can barely move. I actually want to cry with the pain. 

I can't decide if to drive or get the tube.... I can walk ok but sitting is sort of painful. I think I will tube it, the walk might loosen things up?

Is there no way your sister can step in to help with the specialist phone call, Buffy?

Hope your back gets better soon x

Thank you, I am basically fine so long as I don't sit down for hours at a time - getting up from lunch was embarrassing!

No, she can't guarantee any free time or leave her partner.  I am hoping the steroids mum has for the week will help mum explain things (of course then the danger is cos she feels better she doesn't give her case forcefully enough but I can't worry about every eventuality, give a good try mind.) 

I am seriously considering moving the piggies outside. Makes me sad as I love them but at the moment it all bit much indoors and out. I need as someone once said a sanctuary. And they would have more space. Just need to figure out how to do it so they get daylight and warmth..... Off to draw some diagrams.

Right I think I have worked it out. 

It would give them more space.... I will probably chicken out the actual doing it.. I bet they move back indoors at some point(!) but it would be good for them hopefully. 

And it would give me more space. And the newest bunny would get more space too.

Just promise not to fill that space with another furry

Weird thing happened last night/today. 

!!!!!! messaged. Regular readers will remember me banging on about him for months, we were friends, became a bit more than friends, he was always going to move away so it had no future but covid changed everything and we only kept in touch by (daily)message for about year until he would make no plans to meet and I very reluctantly broke things off with him about 3 months ago as it really wasn't going anywhere. 

As I had deleted him from my phone his message didn't come up so I didn't see it till I went to bed. I was surprised by the message - thought he had gone for good! and was also surprised that I didn't really feel anything. I have plenty of fond memories and I did miss his professional opinion on stuff. But I got so tired of it all and in the end was glad it was over. 

Anyhow, today I am going to have to take it easy as back is still twingy. Going to paint some rabbit furniture as you do.....

Soooo…..did you reply to the message or have you decided as you didn’t feel much that it is absolutely over?

I did, but it was very bland. Wasn't sure what to do.

Started making breakfast, 

Mum hadn't taken her tablets, she needs wait half an hour before eating. So I stopped. 

SO freaking hungry. 

And then ate too quickly. 

now eating crisps to stave off feeling rough.
