Good things

Today has, frankly been bloody hard. I have had to have far too many conversations about Jackson, mainly with the school, and all with people who have been kind and concerned and desperate to be helpful. And I have cried in just about every one of them. On the plus side the advent of summer has made it acceptable to be wearing shades all day.

But as I am working so hard on my boy focusing on the positives, however small, I shall take a dose of my own medicine and do the same....

And a few minutes playing fetch with a puppy in the sun is definitely a life-affirming activity.

J has been up and done more activities than he has for days. And he is up for trying some school work (at home) tomorrow.

Anna is totally fine following yesterday's op.

No-one seems to have spotted how badly I am doing my job (a twisted one I know but still a positive)

Our friends are lovely and thoughtful and considerate.

As are you lovely Blippers who have been dragged along this annus horribulis (sp?!). Though please don't be nice to me in the comments as I have no tolerance against crying today.

I know, I'll distract you with a lovely Anna thing...clever little thing only got herself a place at the RCM Junior Department for double bass lessons. (Can't do links on the phone but the thing she auditioned for at the end of March).

There you go - simply bursting with positivity and not a coming apart at the seams metaphor in sight.
