..............My favourite......

I'm exhausted.....at 6.30 this morning I was exhausted in a bad way...........now it's in a good way.

I had a slightly better nights sleep last night.......only woke up twice. At 6.30 I had been awake for about an hour...........so I decided to go down stairs to make a drink.As soon as I left the bedroom I knew something was wrong......my nose told me so. I don't know what happened to the cats in the night..........but the litter tray was absolutely honking..........so just after 6.40 I was outside in my robe emptying the tray....... and cleaning it.............and refilling it! Normally I would have had a drink......and some cereal..........and my medication.....and a sit down for about an hour......and then start the chores.............no chance today.

I eventually got some energy back...........and went to get dressed........I would normally splash on some of this after shave...........but not today........the girls from work were coming to visit.........and Lisa is allergic to Boss.

The morning passed slowly..........another letter from the hospital..........EEG on 13th.

The daughter dropped in........we had a brew.......she emptied some of her stuff out of what was her bedroom......she invited me for tea on Saturday.........we discussed what we might do on Monday (Helen's birthday)..........and off she went.

Hebs and Jo arrived...........Lisa and Nat couldn't make it.....so I   could have worn  the aftershave.....after all!.Hebs was entranced by the cats and photographed them...she's used Keo for her blip today. Jo was...........well just Jo........hundreds of questions.....wanted to know all the details about the illness...... the consultations.......what will happen at the hospital........how I'm feeling.......what I'm eating..........am I depressed...........you''ve got to love her....as Hebs says, when she cares she cares with every fibre of her being.

The Daughter returned............with some things for me.......a pastry brush and a container of weedkiller...............don't ask. They all left.

I cooked.............put the bins out.....watched "Class of 92"........posted this.

So...........it's been a full day.....started bad............improved all day long........I'm lucky to have such friends...........and family..............I even managed to raise the teacher's eye brow tonight.
