Debt and Caring

Cherryfudge

Sickness bugs and the like have their own brand of despicableness. As Pip wisely says, dramatic can also mean short lived. Yes, you have a lot to cope with and it feels worse when you are ill and really don't have it in you to go out and buy then fit a new toilet seat.

There is definitely a pattern to it: RoSPA makes interesting reading (once you feel up to it) on when accidents are most likely to happen. And with your background in social care, you probably remember just as I do that stuff starts happening on a Friday evening after the bosses have gone for the weekend. The further from management presence and shops being open, the more likely it is for things to happen that we, the front line troops, then have to cope with. It's to do with getting tired losing our edge as a consequence, I think.

I hope you get a good night's sleep and wake up feeling better.
