Thanx everyone
Feeling stressful about things,. particulary concering my dad.
Also Dave(my husband) works situation and our finances.
Feel pretty tired and run down..

The nurse came to see dad today. She immediately said that dad needs to have his bed downstairs. Also that he needs to get an assesment at a hospital regarding the dementia issue. He couldnt even tell her how old he is. It is all pretty stressful.
My husband is going to sell our freezer van to help pay for tax bill. So we will be down to one vehicle. I will have to walk to work.
He is going to try and get a job lorry driving delievering milk. Which wil also mean he can train for his HGV license there that they will pay for.
It will mean long hours for him, which will be hard. But he will get 3 days off.
It is a pretty unsettling time. Havent even thought about Christmas think it is cancelled here this year.
But God is good.

Dear one,

I know you feel sad and hopeless, like there won't be any celebrating or Christmas this year, but trust me it will come. That's because Christmas is not about presents--it's about giving and being generous to those we love. And Christmas is about Jesus and celebrating the wondrous love that came down in the form of a baby just because He loved you so. Christmas is about music, and cooking, and hugging, and snowballs, and decorating maybe a little... So there is still a lot of Christmas just for you dear. Likewise we are having a "leaner" holiday this year but you know what? We are making gifts for each other and going to the Handel's Messiah sing-along and the Christmas Eve candlelight service.

I pray that your dear hubby's idea about selling the truck will help with the tax bill and provide maybe just a little more income for you, and you know what, lovely? I'm thinking of you every day! You can PM me any time or ALL the time if you want...

Hi everyone Ive had a kind of mixed sort of day, quite usual for me
I went out early this morning to my dads. As either Dave or me go round and make him cup of tea and toast. Dave does it if he doesnt get an early start. He kept ringing from twenty to eight. I was feelin a bit angry and irratated with him today I didnt mean to, I know he cant help it.
I did some art this morning, then I worked all this afternoon, as work was short of staff. Feeling kind of down and lonely today.

i gave in a letter to docs to say how pretty desperate i felt about getting help. things have been that bad

Jo,

I just thoughtI would tell you, I am so happy you are alive, and you are doing what you can to make yourself comfortable. You hang in there and I'll tell you what I look up to you because you are surviving, hang in there!
