Blimey. What a rollercoaster ride it’s been. Last week I was so tired I could fall asleep standing up, thinking the worst, feeling really bad. Then Nannie decides she’s “turned a corner”. She’s talking normally, she’s eating, she’s gaining some of herself back. I don’t know what this means overall…it’s really thrown us all. We don’t know what to expect, whether it’s going to make a difference. Just taking it a day at a time really.
Yesterday was the first day of relative normality that I’ve felt in while. I spent an afternoon in the garden with the cats, bunbuns and chickens with the glowing early Autumn sun sweeping across the sky. I dug some carrots, cooked a roast, put on a fire and relaxed into the evening. Rich lounged about reading a paper and it just felt…like I haven’t felt in a long, long time. I woke up this morning and again, the sun was shining again.
My work is picking up a bit, which is nice. I’m still in the throes of developing a couple of websites - watch this space. Today it’s back to the grind though. Keeping busy helps.

Good news. Of course, eventually she will have to leave you, but she’ll know when she’s ready to go and you will know it’s right that she does. Cherish her. I never knew my grandparents but I miss my parents very much. It helps to remember good times.

Glad to hear you’re better. The bad times pass soon enough, along with the good. You’ll come through it.
