Morning walk

You know how much I love berries, and these vibrant holly ones were particularly lovely this morning whilst walking Billy. We only walked around the block but am so grateful for the abundance of plants and trees around. I’m getting used to being the main dog walker and enjoy being out walking; main problem is that Billy pulls, we’ve never been able to get on top of this with him - so if anyone has any good tips please do share them!
A mixed day with the girls. Both still unwell and feeling rough. Abby awake until 3am ish with constant coughing. Interview not great - found the questions difficult combined with feeling unwell and tired - part 2 tomorrow so hoping for a better night’s sleep.
Hannah heard that she has an interview for Nottingham Uni which is where she would really like to go so very excited about that; she has 3 uni interviews in the new year now.
Gary doing well and now needs to start getting out and about.
So busy times and, if I’m honest, I’m feeling somewhat overwhelmed with everything - I don’t feel that I’m managing to stay on top of anything right now (including work) and so generally anxious much of the time.
Am focussing on gratefuls - a lovely family; a comfortable (if somewhat messy) home; an NHS that has enabled Gary to have surgery that is already making such a difference to his movement; the choices we have day to day that we so often take for granted.
And a lovely blip community that is such an encouragement.
