[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 193571, member: 1991"] G'day people. Sharon/LDM, it does sound a bit surreal, to be cleaning out a hot tub at 5 am, before school. Linda, I think it's wonderful of you to take kt's friend bra shopping. I wish someone had been able to do that for me - my mother was around but very sick and not able to take me bra shopping until 18 months at least after I should have been wearing one. Houseofcards, we're another family living in a very small town. husband was saying to me just last night, we are now among some of the longest-term residents here. Sharon/WO, enjoy your respite. I hope it isn't raining for easy child's game. Having to cheer in the rain could be very unpleasant. Andy, I think the locker lock is a good idea. After all, how could you call it a locker, if you can't lock it? It's late, I'm incredibly tired. Another day dealing with medical stuff. mother in law had to go back to get her heart monitor removed - it always leaves raw patches on her where the electrodes were attached, so I brought a bottle of cooking oil with me for her, to rub on the sore spots. She can't tolerate preservatives in cosmetics (neither can I) and all her expensive low-allergy cosmetics now have preservatives in them, so she's reacting to them too. I'm slowly convincing her that cooking oil works, and it's also cheaper. I was able to wait for mother in law, then we had to drive to the next suburb to see our neurologist. I had to collect my CT scan from yesterday first. It's getting to be an exercise in logistics and organisation, to fit all our medical appointments in. The neurologist - wants mother in law to go on steroids. Wants me to get checked out for polymyalgia rheumatica. We both have to go back to see him in two weeks; normally he doesn't want to see us for four months. He said for me, the treatment could be as simple as a steroid injection into the painful joints. I said, "what, ALL of them?" Doesn't sound simple to me... Tonight we had difficult child 1 home for a change, with girlfriend also here for dinner. I cooked up a roast chicken with roast vegetables - potatoes, carrots, whole mushrooms and celeriac. difficult child 3 tried roast celeriac (something new) and announced he likes it - a lot! That's a first. Then some lamingtons I'd bought, for dessert (for those not on a diet, like me). difficult child 3 likes those, too. I thought he'd had lamingtons before, but he clearly hadn't. He's getting really good at trying new foods now. Tomorrow morning we have to vote (local council) and then I'm meeting up with girlfriend and easy child 2/difficult child 2 to look at bridesmaids dresses and wedding dress patterns. easy child should join us by lunchtime, then she's home with us tomorrow night. husband & I just made up our new spare bed for her. Sunday - more dress shopping. Monday - I have yet another doctor's appointment. At least the weather is warming up. I wore a skirt today - a good thing, as it turned out, with the neurologist wanting to prod and poke. He said it was good he didn't have to undress me too far! Cheeky sod... Today I didn't wear my ugg boots until late afternoon, it was so warm. Tomorrow will be even warmer. Then it's cooler again for a few days, but you can feel the spring in the air at last. Enjoy your Friday, everyone. Marg [/QUOTE]
