[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 194852, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Linda, I hope the ramps etc are going to work out well. Not an issue for me - we're on the flat, no steps except into our spare room (two small steps). Sharon/LDM, I hope today at work goes smoothly. Sounds like a busy day. Sharon/WO, I hope husband is not in too much pain with the rotator cuff injury. I had husband home today, an RDO. difficult child 3 worked fairly well with schoolwork, which I was pleased with. My pain levels were a bit better but I still called my pain specialist, he's okayed me to increase my medications (which I had already done). Dinner tonight - I got difficult child 3 to help me, using his Nintendo DS Cooking Guide. We made Huevos Y Rancheros, because we have a glut of eggs. One of our very old hens is laying. The youngest has to be at least ten years old! Tomorrow is a study day for difficult child 3, where we go in to his school in the city. husband is driving in to his work so he can load up with some stuff to take home, then I will take the car (and difficult child 3) from there, across the CBD. We should have about an hour to get there, it should only take about 20 minutes at most. Then when difficult child 3's day at school is finished, it's a quick easy trip on the expressway out of the city heading home. But not all the way - we have other things to do, including a bit of shopping then difficult child 3's drama class. By then husband should have arrived by train to meet us and will drive us home again. So although it will be a long day, it shouldn't be too much driving for me. On the way back I plan to collect a couple of potted herbs I ordered - salad burnet.
