Relieved
My current feeling:Relieved. My current thoughts are:The family gathering went off without too much drama. As predicted mum spent most of her time talking to my brother’s step kids instead of her own granddaughter. I think she asked R one question and that was it all day. Likewise, she didn’t speak with me much either.Continue reading “Relieved”
Unpredictable
My current feeling:Unpredictable. My current thoughts are:We have the familly gathering today for Dad’s birthday/ Christmas. There will be several extra hangers on for lunch from my brother’s extended family, and always interesting to watch my mother’s interaction with them versus her own actual grandchildren. There’ll be enough people there to avoid anyone we don’tContinue reading “Unpredictable”
Nervous
My current feeling:Nervous. My current thoughts are:I’m making Dad’s birthday cake today. I haven’t baked properly for probably getting on for 2 yrs.

Exasperated
My current feeling:Exasperated. My current thoughts are:I was on a couple of calls yesterday that were really interesting and informative, but also where I learned a new Teams App which is really helpful, and in another, was treated as an equal, and that I should have known about various things because the other person assumedContinue reading “Exasperated”
Curious
My current feeling:Curious. My current thoughts are:Started doing some research yesterday on play, fun and magnetism.

So far it’s all been theory and is about to get to the practical stuff, for which I will needContinue reading “Curious”
Drained
My current feeling:Drained. My current thoughts are:Didn’t have a particularly busy weekend, not by our usual standards anyway, but feel a bit draiined this morning.
