That’s my mum for ya @Ru-bee. She might think to ask later or she will leave it to Christmas night when people are here. That will make her look good. Make her look like a good mum. She will definitely point out my bruises so that whoever is here knows.
Im just trying to push myself to complete my list for the day. I’m slowly getting things done. It’s so hard with no sleep. Maybe after my appointment I might have a nap if I have time.
I have started another Lego which I wasn’t going to do. I might do some of that tonight. Something to look forward to after I have done everything.
Im so tired. I think that’s making feel
like my mum should have cared.

How's the to-do list going @Captain24 did you end up getting some time for a nap before you appointment? Maybe a little afternoon nap will be a nice treat

The only thing left on my list is ironing but the washing hasn’t dried yet @Ru-bee So I think I’ve done pretty well. I’ve managed to do two things off tomorrow’s list as well. So if I don’t do the ironing then that’s ok.
Im just waiting for my appointment to start.
I’ve been up for 22 hours and I’m exhausted. This finishes at 4 so there really isn’t anytime for a nap. I’ll just go to bed early.
How is your day going?

Oh wow 22 hours @Captain24 you must be absolutely exhausted. Huge kudos to you for getting so much done today, but I hope that you're able to get a really good rest tonight!
I honestly rarely use the iron except for when I'm sewing and need to press seams...so I think ironing definitely sounds like a job for later lol
My day has been good, it's another really hot day so I was up early trying to get some washing done because it just dries so quickly. We'll see if I get around to putting it all away tonight

Heya @Captain24 ! How are you?
I'm reading through the posts I've missed. Lol. 'Jett has ADHD and doesn't remember what he's doing half the time'. Hahahaha...
Too funny.
I hope things get better for you.
As for your mum, did you expect anything different? If you didn't, then it means you weren't disappointed (I guess that's one way of putting it).
Comm health shut? How Comm Health here is open all year round. I remember I got visits from CATT during Christmas and was then admitted. I hated this time. It was so so hard for me in the past.
Are you working tonight?
It's hot here today. The kids are in the pool. I'm just sitting on the deck.

I don’t think exhausted is even close! @Ru-bee
I iron almost everything. I’ve got 4 shirts and 2 pairs of jeans to iron and a couple of other things. So that’s not too bad out of 4 loads of washing! The rest was pyjamas, work jumpers that don’t get ironed and a work jacket.
It’s only just starting to warm up here now. It was mid 20’s until about an hour ago.
At least you got the washing done though so that’s something!

I used to iron everything... underwear, bedsheets and all... now I don't @Captain24

I think when I finish work tonight I'll try to put in a bit of cleaning time to set myself up for the weekend @Captain24 I am feeling a bit lazy, but I know I'll feel more relaxed afterwards. I honestly feel more motivated to put that time in after hearing about how much you got done today despite going on no sleep!
Do you have any weekend plans?

Hey @tyme
Im a little bit tired 😪
No I didn’t expect anything else. But it would just be nice to hear a little care. I’m on the phone to her right now and she hasn’t asked!!!
There is one person on call. They don’t do house calls very often. I live in a small country town remember..
Did you have bad experiences this time of year? Don’t answer if you don’t want to.
Im off now until the 27th.
It’s just starting to warm up here. I’m guessing the kids love the pool. Can they swim? Like as in strokes.
Im not that bad with ironing but I iron almost everything lot!
How are you

I’m glad I’m an inspiration! @Ru-bee I do feel better for it, knowing that I’ve got things done. I’m trying to eat ahead so I can have some free time in the next few days. I have a lot of things to get done over the coming days. I’ve written me a job list for everyday. The more I get done the sooner I get a rest day. Before Christmas hits!
So all weekend is doing stuff
Do you have weekend plans?
