Rain rain go away...

I've finally had a really quiet day to myself.

After a nice breakfast with A and P who brought their own with them(!), they disappeared to see PPP+H for the day. I'm hoping they'll be out tonight too visiting B's brother but guess it'll be ok if they're here as they're leaving tomorrow and I won't feel under any pressure after then.

I arranged to see the GP and she has signed me off for a week with the stress of things, for which I am hugely grateful as the internal pressure I've been feeling about going back to work while I'm so up and down has been adding to the stress immensely. I don't think it's any coincidence that my headache has not reappeared today despite the ibuprofen wearing off by now.

I spoke to a member of B' first husband's family today to let them know about her death and the funeral arrangements. That's another weight off my mind as I know she'd have wanted them to come.

B's executor rang me today and reassured me that he is happy to deal with the will, though he wants some legal advice regarding certain matters. I've helped to put him in touch with some people I think could help him.

Other than that, today I've done very little, just appreciated being able to chill out and not feel any social pressures. I've skyped with C in Aus and brought him up to speed, watched some rubbish TV movie, paid a bill and read a trashy magazine. That's all I'm good for at present.

An old friend, L, has just rung with her usual sage insights and reassurances. I have such good friends....

My blip is of my swim stuff which has been on the line for three days and is now wetter than it was when I hung it up...
