[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 255787, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Sharon/WO, I hope you get to the health club as you planned. I'm glad the excursion went well. Watching how maple syrup is made - I'd love to see it. Rabbit, good to see you this morning. I hope the new medications work well for difficult child 3. Fran, I'm glad difficult child has been doing better. Enjoy the good stuff! I hope your girls night out is fun. Sharon/LDM, sorry your pinched nerve is still hurting. It can really get you down, this sort of thing. Don't leave it too long. Linda, I hope you work out what appointment you have. Sounds a bit like a Mystery Flight, only it's the medical version. Hmm... maybe not so exciting after all. I've had a very busy day. I had to get right into the heart of Sydney to difficult child 3's school, for a meeting. Long story, the school are using me as an unpaid 'consultant' sort of thing. Schools do this sort of thing in all areas, I was asked if I'd do this to help the school. trouble is, I'm getting asked a lot because they haven't got anyone else at the moment. Anyway, I DID agree... but to get there on time, I had to leave home before sunrise. It WAS a pretty sunrise, we were driving through the bush at the time, as the sun was climbing out of the sea... I dropped husband at work and then headed for the school, got there with about 20 minutes to spare. We spent all the morning and half the afternoon locked in a meeting, making phone calls, during breaks I ducked outside and talked to a couple of other teachers about various things. Someone had ordered morning tea and lunch for us, which meant we could keep working through. It was all mental, not physical, but still a long day. We finally finished not long before the end of the school day, which gave me enough time to head homewards and finish other errands. It's a long way, but coming home at the beginning of peak hour wasn't too bad. I got past the worst of it before I got to the garden centre and bought a lot of seedlings and herbs, all on special. I have some gardening to do tomorrow! Then a little further on I stopped at the mall to do a little more grocery shopping for Saturday, when easy child 2/difficult child 2 and BF2 are coming to dinner, as well as to do washing. They actually gave me their washing which I'm doing for them tonight along with ours, because tomorrow morning I get help with housework including hanging out the washing. I'm also getting a scheduled phone call from the school in the morning (more consultancy stuff) then after lunch difficult child 3 & I have to leave to head back into the city for a therapist appointment. If we can leave early enough, I have a little more shopping to do along the way. If I have the time, and the energy. One consolation to all this - I am going to enjoy playing with the plants and filling my currently empty vegetable bed with an autumn/winter crop, it helps me feel productive and earth-mother. Any shopping I do will be to re-stock some vital but specialised ingredients currently depleted in our freezer, ones which help me magically produce fast, tasty gourmet meals in a flash, apparently from nothing. More earth mother stuff. So if I end up even more tired tomorrow afternoon - it will be in a good cause. However, I'm hoping to get some sleep tonight. it would be a nice change! Enjoy your Thursday.
