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
Hope you are feeling better soon, we are full of bugs here. Yes I am on the hunt for a new outfit, shoes and a hat for next June.
ReplyDeleteThe nasty bugs are around everywhere at the moment aren't they. Whole new outfit...well that's something to look forward to! x
DeleteSorry to hear about the sad news but lovely about the next door news.
ReplyDeleteI always think it's odd that colds start so suddenly but then take an age to go completely. Hope your cold doesn't hang about too long
Thank you Sue...feeling rather heavy hearted today, however I know this shall pass. Yes we're excited about the expected event next year. Colds...good riddance to it soon I hope. Head is very muzzy at the moment. x
DeleteI'm so sorry for your losses, Jackie. And in such a short space of time.
ReplyDeleteI hope your new ailments will be short-lived. Mine has taken more out of me than I first thought, and there are many viruses around just now..
Congratulations on your good news! Such a blessing. X
Thank you Jules. It is all rather sad at the moment. however we do have good things to look forward to hopefully and the sadness will diminish with time. Hopefully the muzzy head and sore throat will soon be a distant memory too. I must try to pace myself as I know only too well what can happen when I don't. Hope you're soon feeling much more like your old self. x
