G'day, people.
Definitely doing much better tonight. I was a mess last night - at first I thought my blood pressure was going crazy, then I felt faint, hot and cold, nauseous - spaced out. I finally read the small print on my vitamins - the ones I reacted to, I think it was trace amounts of copper and iron. Definitely a bad reaction, I've got rid of them now.
Linda, I hope you are able to manage the barbecue tonight. I hope it's warm enough for you.
TM, sorry to hear about Duckie's problem with her friends. C needs to learn to not interfere. Wanting to stick up for family members should never be an excuse for bullying. There are much better ways to support your family.
WFEN, sounds like you're going to be rushing a lot today. I hope difficult child is more cooperative this afternoon.
Christy, I hope difficult child works efficiently for you so you can get in some fun extracurricular stuff. I love those days too, when it falls into place for difficult child 3's schoolwork.
JamieM, I'm glad things have settled this morning. Have a relaxing day.
My week is about to get really busy. difficult child 3's speech pathology assessment was completed today, although it really ate into his school time. She started at 10.30 am and didn't finish until after 2 pm. She & I then talked about what she's found so far. We'll have a much better idea after she scores it all.
difficult child 3 got his new budgie Lucky out of his cage this afternoon. Lucky's wing has been severely clipped by the breeder so he's more secure climbing on things. difficult child 3 put him on his knitted sweater and the bird spent most of the afternoon sitting on difficult child 3's shoulder, or exploring his armpits and inside his sleeves. Interestingly, Daisy (our older budgie) seemed to want to stay nearby, she flew to her favourite place in my bathroom but followed difficult child 3 & Lucky when they left the room. We've now got their cages sitting side by side, and they seem to be sitting near each other, each in their own cage. In time we hope to move Daisy into Lucky's larger cage, hopefully with a nesting box.
Tomorrow after lunch I have to drive mother in law halfway to the city to get her eyes operated on by laser. After that it's difficult child 3's drama class, so he's going to have to come with us and bring his schoolwork. Then the next day difficult child 3 has a History excursion, by boat around Sydney Harbour. I'm looking forward to that one!
Enjoy your Tuesday, everyone.
