Happy Sunday ladies! Just chillin' on the sofa with my pooches and a cuppa.  DH (yes, he made up for being a SH yesterday) has popped out to help a friend move some heavy work equipment, Small has gone to his friend's bowling party and Tiny is watching TV.  It is very peaceful here ATM.  This is how I like life to be.  Not the constant chaos, disaster and noise that seems to be the norm.  One day, I will have my Little House on the Prarie setup.

ASB  I'm so jealous of your quackers...I want some but we don't have a pond, sadly.

Oh, some good news...I've been awarded £500 Covid Isolation payment for when we were all poorly and Small was given our first choice of secondary school,  which is a relief!

Hope you get to rest today Fayolle ...running on empty is bad for the body and soul.

See you all later x

Hi all

Hope those feeling out of sorts or tired have managed some rest today.  I did my finance spreadsheets, baked cookies and rock cakes for DHs pack up, went for a 20 mile cycle ride, cleaned the bathroom and washed the floor, gave everywhere a quick hoover, mopped kitchen and utility floors and have just cleaned the kitchen after DH made fajitas.  Now I am sitting with feet up and a glass of wine wondering where the weekend went.

Mealplan to do and a plan for the week to make.  I have no evening meetings this week which is a rare thing, in fact it shouldnt be stupidly busy at the paid stuff unless something has happened that I dont yet know about.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend all xx

She has a weighted blanket but will only have it on for a bit and won't have it at all at the moment. She has been laid in semi darkness for 2 hours. She cannot stop moving to try anything vaguely calming, she is literally vibrating. She won't be touched when she is like this. I am allowed to hug her but it has to be really tight. She needs big movement like swinging or rocking or jumping and even that effect only lasts 15 minutes or so. The bath usually works but she is so thrown even that isn't helping right now.

She will be better when I am better I hope. She is also doing uberty which is throwing life out of whack.. I just need to find her new calming thing. it's just horrid seeing her struggle like this in the meantime.
