Well hello everyone, it's been a while since I was around here and although it has been good to get away from social media, I have missed seeing some of the faces of people who I have met online, show up on my timeline.
It has been a year since G was diagnosed
with JIA and she is currently having a flare of her condition which is throwing
lots of challenges our way. One thing
that is stable in her life is the love for her horse, yes it courses her pain
to ride most days, but it is important for her to keep mobile and increase her
core stability. She has good and bad days,
but nobody can fault her dedication to Willow.
The
current lockdown is impacting us all in various ways and I know we are facing
uncertain times whether it is our jobs, mental health or just the feeling of
being isolated from loved ones and family.
I know I am missing my new first granddaughter terribly. I just want to hold and cuddle her, but for
now I will just have to watch the videos I am sent. Missing out on those early years is hard,
although perhaps for my daughter in law it is nice not having the mother in law
interfering 😊. I started knitting
again, something I have not done for 20 years and have enjoyed creating
cardigans and dresses for my granddaughter.
We also
in the middle of installing a new bathroom and decorating various other rooms
alongside trying to come to terms with the challenging garden (it is more like
a field). Any offers of advice or help
on this subject are welcome. Whilst I
can easily grow a few flowers and plants, this garden needs totally redesigning. I want to complete the house and hubbie’s
priority seems to be the garden!
Nevertheless, it will all get completed eventually.
I am
currently working from home and do not know how long this will go on for, I
sometimes long to see my workplace and all the lovely people I work with. Being at home is extremely challenging, work
alongside my other duties as teacher, mother, washer, cleaner and cook all
merge in to one at times and I long for the hour I spend with G at the stables.
I just
want to say, you are all doing amazing things.
From the single mums and families who are having to work, educate and
play, to our fabulous NHS, social care and transport staff, you have got this! There is nobody who is not going the extra
mile. Remember to be kind to everyone
not just those close to you, you never know what the person is going through.
