turpsA quick rl catch-up.
My MiL is doing so much better. Still in hospital but she's on oxygen only when she needs it now instead of 24/7 like before. There's talk of her needing overnight oxygen in her own home, and if that's the case some serious cleaning and tidying up will need to go on. Mam was on oxygen and those tanks/machines and pipes get everywhere and you really need space. Thankfully my SiL's partner has made it his mission to get the heating sorted. So that's a big plus.
Kayleigh has broken up with her live-in partner. She told me when I was up there last. It's all a bit of a mess especially as it wasn't something they both wanted, but Kayleigh had reasons I understand. I'll miss seeing Shauna, though. She was lovely and a good person.
Corey had to have a review at the doctors yesterday, so he called home for a few hours after. He's doing well, and I fed him and sent him home with one of the huge Easter eggs that have been lurking on top of the fridge for months, a big tub of cous cous, bars of chocolate, shampoo and various other things. He's a grown adult and more than capable of looking after himself, but I doubt I'll ever stop giving him stuff. And ha, I just realised I referred to both here and Newcastle as his home. Guess they're interchangeable to me now.
He also brought me a different keyboard, but oh man, I just couldn't get on with it. It was one of his old gamer keyboards and had all these extra buttons and somehow I couldn't touch type on it at all. I don't know if it was the extra column of buttons on the left that was throwing me off, but even a small comment took me ages as I had to keep backspacing. I'm sure I would have got there eventually, but this morning I changed it back to the old one and it feels so much better.
Once Corey had gone I went for my bath. Had just settled down when someone started banging on the door, then rattling the letterbox. James was going to the hospital straight from work, and wasn't due back for a while, and no one else was due but whoever it was just kept knocking. So I got out, pulled on my pjs, and found out it was my neighbour from a few doors up. She's an older lady and her partner has dementia and she was really frantic as her heating had gone off and she wanted to know if James was in to check her boiler. I said no, but would be back in an hour or so and he'd call in then. Then she nearly fell over going up the garden path so I walked her back home, though wish I'd had time to put my slippers on first. Talk about cold feet. She was fine, btw. James did call in on his way back and the heating got sorted.
Today is cold, wet and grey so I intend some writing, some reading, some snowflaking and later some time under a blanket watching tv. Lazy days ftw.

Date: 2019-01-12 08:00 am (UTC)It was good getting rid of stuff, especially as it would be getting used. I still tend to forget there's only 2 of us in the house 90% of the time and buy too much.
I did enjoy my bath afterwards, it was an excellent way to warm up.
