It has been very quiet here yesterday and today with not much happening at all. The little one is still not well as temperature was slightly raised last night 99.9 and yesterday was the last day of the antibiotics! Daughter had to work yesterday (Wednesday) evening as she had Tuesday night off due to the funeral. Husband is not well either as he came home at 4pm looking dire yesterday. Think he's caught the bug from the toddler, cold, sore throat, bad stomach etc. Praying I don't succumb to it as I have COPD, so any cold always goes to a chest infection and I can end up quite poorly. Husband still went to work today though; he is one of those annoying people who will go to work even if they are at death's door and promptly donate all their germs to all the other staff there. He was home by 2pm as he really is unwell.
Husband is on a different time scale to me as he is one of life's Larks - up at 5.30am and off to work at 6am. Comes home around 5 or 6pm then in bed by 10pm at the latest (often in bed at 8.30pm.) Now I'm an Owl, getting up between 8.30 and 9.30am, and needing an hour to feel human and do anything apart from drinking coffee. I'm pretty sluggish in the morning so tend to sit around, check emails, read the post, etc. Usually out on a walk with the dog at 11.30am and doing a bit of housework in the afternoon. I have been known to be loading the dishwasher at 1.30am as I feel more awake the later it becomes. I think this probably started when I used to work in the 'children's homes' as a Residential Social Worker, where it was quite usual to be up until 2 or 3am with kids coming in and causing trouble. You really had to think on your feet late at night as some of the kids had major problems and needed a lot of attention. Just like to add here that a lot of the kids we cared for were really nice and a pleasure to work with so it was not all bad working there. I worked there for 8years so I must have enjoyed the work!
Just seen on the TV it's the Grand National on Saturday so will probably have a go. I'm not a great gambler as father spent thousands on it and was totally addicted so I make sure I never will be. The Grand National is probably the only horse race that I ever bet on and I have never got the winner yet!!
Bye for now - chat again soon All the best x
