G'day people.
We've had a wet day here today. My first event was a choir performance at an old folks Christmas party. It was overcast but dry as I arrived on my mobility scooter. The performance went well, was well received. I managed to conduct the choir without hurting my bad shoulder. But as it was time for me to leave, it was raining quite heavily. I managed to cover up under a rain poncho (covering me plus my scooter) but the bottom half of me was getting soaked as I went home. It was good to change into dry, warm clothes once I got back.
Then I got some paperwork done, make some calls on behalf of the kids, then headed out for difficult child 3's drama class. husband & I had our usual dinner together afterwards and we only just got home. Thankfully it's not raining right now, maybe the washing on the line might eventually dry. This morning's newspaper is now papier mache - I didn't find it until after I got home this morning.
Tomorrow is another relatively quiet day at home. I do have to see the physiotherapist in the morning, but I might cancel. Or leave it as my last appointment for some time. My shoulder is now doing very well. Not thanks to anybody's expertise, just luck.
easy child 2/difficult child 2's job interview this morning went fairly well, she said, although she was told she's unlikely to get the job. But they may call her in for some casual work. I really hope so, she needs the opportunity to complete her course. I also rang difficult child 1's job agency, he's in need of a bit more pressure to get another apprenticeship. Some problems to sort out there, too. A good friend of mine said I should have stopped supporting my kids like this once they married - if they want to be independent adults, I should let them make their own mistakes. But some problems are just too big for a difficult child to solve on their own, no matter how old or independent they are. My kids are getting better at looking after themselves and I think because I'm helping them, they're learning faster.
Enjoy your Tuesday.
