[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 206940, member: 1991"] G'day, Linda. The music sounds lovely. We use the iPod a lot, I put a very wide range of music on it. I've just discovered how to put video onto it; husband uses it for talking books and we both use it for relaxation. We can feed it into the car stereo and also into a small speaker system the kids gave me for Christmas last year. Enjoy that coffee! Rabbit, here's hoping you can hold things together until Thursday. If difficult child doesn't go to school, do you have some schoolwork-type activities to keep her occupied? I find that it holds difficult child 3 together really well, it gives him something else to focus on, to distract him from his anxieties. Sharon/LDM, I hope easy child's work pulls together into a great portfolio. The sound of her project with difficult child and his games sounds great! A busy day for us today. husband was home, he bought a wood lathe second-hand on Sunday so planned to go and get chisels and similar stuff for it. I finally heard back from difficult child 3's Geography teacher about the exam I have to give him; turns out we were supposed to get an information package about it last term that told us about it, when to give the test, what he should study - he's had no advance notice of this at all, just the exam paper arriving in the mail on Friday. So we went out at lunchtime with difficult child 3 studying Geography on the road. Tomorrow - more study and some catch-up work. It has totally messed up our schedule. Today's errands - one got postponed (thank goodness) so husband dropped me off at the library to deal with my meeting (difficult child 3 sat in to do more study) while he did some shopping. Then husband collected us, took me to my doctor's appointment then went shopping with difficult child 3 for lathe parts. After my appointment we did a bit more shopping then headed home to cook dinner. Late, unfortunately, but we just finished. The rheumatologist says I've got hypermobile joints (I'm sceptical) and says I have bursitis in both hips and probably rotator cuff problems in my right shoulder. He said it's all fixable, but didn't give me any strategy or medications to begin with. More tests - X-rays, CT - before I go back to see him just after the wedding. In the meantime I'm having a brain & spine MRI at the hospital. At this rate radiation poisoning will take me out before any of these other diseases! One bit of fun news - I planted a Black Russian tomato plant a couple of months ago and it's huge. Someone said I should cut off the side shoots but I couldn't bear to waste them, so I stuck them in the ground - they've taken! I never knew you could strike cuttings from tomatoes!

Tomorrow I get difficult child 3 to the GP for a referral to the new psychiatry professor contact. The guy specialises in autism, I want as much help for difficult child 3 as we're offered. So much happening, so much news - it's a busy time right now. Enjoy your Tuesday. Marg [/QUOTE]
