[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 296956, member: 1991"] G'day, folks. Gcvmom, I'm glad you got to watch the meteors. I did some digging online, we're too far south to see them this year, it seems. I was just talking about it with difficult child 3, I told him about Google changing their decorations just for the meteors too. Go have a look before they change it! Linda, that piano music sounds wonderful. I just got back form choir practice - there were three of us, total. Not impressed. We spent the time listening to my iPod, possible songs for us to work on if we ever get enoughpeople to practices to form a choir. I only keep it going because one of the blokes (it's his house where we meet) is a difficult child Occupational Therapist (OT) sorts but a really nice guy whose mother died recently so he's now all alone and needing something to do. He loves tihs choir, it has done so much for him but it's been dying a not so slow death without a conductor until they asked me to rescue them. There's not much left to rescue! I took mother in law out shopping today. On the way to the mall I stopped off at the regional Post Office and sent off the printed invitations to easy child. She's going to cut them all off the sheets, assemble them with the ribbon and card, then post them off. I bought some lovely wedding stamps to use and put them into the package for easy child, so she's got everything except envelopes now. Then we got to the mall. I didn't have much to get, just a lot of little things. I saw easy child 2/difficult child 2, she's absolutely miserable at work at the moment, the atmosphere is poisonous. She HAS to find another job and soon. I bought supplies to cook, I have my cleaner tomorrow but I forgot - I had to postpone him because husband & I have a pain specialist appointment first thing in the morning. We see the doctor at 9 am then I drive husband to the railway station, drop him off then head back home. I've beeen doing a lot of running around and I'm tired. easy child 2/difficult child 2 is off work tomorrow (she has college tomorrow night) so she's coming over to our place to do some washing and also some wedding stuff (working on one of the bridesmaid's dresses). I'm hoping I can persuade her to talk to one of the government legal people I lined up a week or so ago; I think she's losing her perspective, she's acting like an abuse victim in her responses to the difficult work environment. Her response is, "I don't want to make a fuss even though I know it's wrong; because if I make a fuss I'll lose my job and won't have any mony coming in." The trouble is, I tihnk she's going to lose her job anyway, and she could always sue for wrongful dismissal. For her at the moment, it seems it's just too much to think about. I'm really worried for her and angry on her behalf. However, I told her she has to own every decision. That includes the decision to do nothing. And I'm not sure she owns that one yet. It's still cold here especially at night. Our days are warming up. I can't wait for summer, although I still have a lot of late winter stuff to do in the garden and I'm running out of time. Oh well, it's night time now, I'm in for the night, I can go put my jammies on and crawl into a lovely warm bed. ANd watch the new British version of LAw & Order... Enjoy your Wednesday.
