So the past few days have had ups and downs. I really positive one is that I and D are looking into what we can do to get help from the council, in regards to either modifying this house (it’s privately rented) or getting a council house with adaptations. I called the crisis team yesterday and after explaining everything that’s going on, they have referred me to Occupational Therapy so I can get things started.

The bad side of things is that I’m still a bit down in the dumps and experiencing worsening symptoms which I’m struggling a little bit with. D has made most all the weekend stress-free which I really appreciate. I know it’s hard on her and the kids but it really is noticed and I’m grateful for them trying so hard. Which then triggers guilt. It’s like you can’t win a situation.

We spent the day in the garden getting everything ship shape for summer. The hot tub is out, much to the kid’s delight, with grass cut, plants trimmed and even a table painted. D really did all the work with B helping as much as he could. Well. When he wasn’t riding around the neighbourhood on his bike we gave a mini service. The weather here is beautiful at the moment. Lots of birds tweeting, which by the way is nice because in Wales the only birds that tweeted got sounded out by seagulls screaming. Blue skies and nice and warm. Maybe not my favourite conditions, I prefer rain, dark evenings and glum more than the sun but it made a nice change.

Today my daughter is coming to visit, so have asked her to bring her switch with her so we can play some games. Or more she can show me how to play animal crossing. That is if B releases her from playing or sitting indoors on TikTok. It’s always lovely to see her. She has a dark sense of humour that I love and the way she dresses, punkish, is awesome.

Hope you all have an amazing day. Supposed to be 32c today so fans out the attic time. Hopefully, I can hold my balance on a ladder. One way to find out.
