I don't know where we're going, but we know where we are? (Part whatever)

One load of laundry in the machine and 2 waiting, ironing of what was washed before done, still need to do a grocery shop and clean the house.

..

Out of the house and drinking decaff coffee...actually have given up coffee as I can't sleep after it no matter when I take it.

Going stir crazy in side and it's stopped raining.

I'd been in the house too long, she said..and I naturally fled.

In a similar situation. Someone very close in hospital since September. Getting good care. But my anxiety levels have ratcheted up over the past number of years because of this and other problems.

But not headaches and sickness like you. You must be absolutely traumatised.

Take your time travelling. And hope you get some peace and quiet for December when he gets home.

Really want to watch this film, and amazingly it’s coming here for the film festival. Hope I get that night off.

Ah, you have to get them used to them as kittens. We got 2 cats. One would go hunting everything everywhere and go through loads of these. He was killed on the road. Local birds breathed a sigh of relief. He was great for rats but unfortunately caught a lot of birds even with a collar and bell. We still have the other cat, but he doesn't go for birds at all. The only real downside of cats I feel.

Anyway, these a less than 10 euro for 12. One good thing about Amazon.

You have to let it be as the song goes. Or even let it go as that other song goes. That's what I try to tell myself.

I'm avoiding anything that causes me extra anxiety and stress where I can. Cause I've too much at the moment. Trying to.

And if you sit back, you'll see it coming from the most non obvious places. The whole culture is anxiety driven at the moment.

I'm listening to Christmas songs in November and it's causing me anxiety. 😃 So, maybe the correct response is to say **** it and do sweet fa for December. Instead of rushing around like an idiot on top of everything else.

Edit referring to me above and also rambling

Hmmmm ...

Myself and every other carer don't want or need medals, platitudes or pats on the head. We want decent, reliable community support services that allow is to do our work without having to completely sacrifice personal lives and any future career prospects.

I miss people watching in Dublin. Upstairs in McDonald's on O'Connell St. in front of the big window. You can see all sorts from there, especially round the Spire- deals and assignation.....

Another lovely place to go, but in warm weather is the cricket pavilion in Trinners. For women, especially, you can plonk yourself on a bench and sit for hours without being harassed. It usually takes about 5 mins in Steven's Green before some sleazebag slides alongside you if you're a lone woman there. It's one of Dublin's hidden gems. It's incredible how many people don't know about it.
