Life has thrown a few yucky bits at us in the past few weeks. Hubby's Auntie passed away at the care home I work at, followed a few weeks later by her husband, also a resident at the home. This afternoon is his funeral. I am feeling so sad. Not having them there has altered the dynamics totally for both the staff and other residents. To top it all another of hubby's Aunties has been taken to hospital with sepsis at the weekend and transferred to a more specialist unit. It feels as though the whole generation is falling away from us.
My body has succumbed to the stresses and I currently have swollen glands and ache like there is no tomorrow. The little people were the same at the weekend...felling absolutely rotten on Saturday, but there is hope as by Sunday they were back to their usual bouncy selves. As mine started three parts of the way through a hospital shift yesterday with a dry feeling in my throat and quickly progressed I am hoping that for me too the ailment is short lived.
Some good news to impart though...all being well our two blue little ones next door shall either become three blue ones or a mixed bunch early next May! Daughter had been feeling very yucky, but seems to be improving as the pregnancy progresses.
At home I have been redecorating the dining hall. The walls are done, but I've also been stripping the oak furniture...what a time consuming mucky job that is. Certainly a true labour of love. We are going to raise up up the top part of the dresser...that has in itself been a story! No photos just yet...I want to wait until it is all done.
Anyway, time to rest.
Blessings, J. x
