The First Weekend
It was a strange Sunday. We got up for church and watched the service on the Firestick Air Cast thingy. After some trial and error we now know how we'll do it better next week, in such a way as to not see my incoming messages and also have a decent volume! It was nice to still feel part of the community knowing other people were watching with us.
Popped to see mum and dad, mothers day gifts needed handing over and not being sure what's going to happen next I needed to see them once more. We kept it short and talked about how to keep Nana safe, and all the aunts and uncles, I think they're all in the risk category in some way or another! They're a close bunch and need to support each other, including Nana who is 91 and needs lots of help looking after herself. Uncle A lives with her and helps her take care of herself, he'll do anything he needs to, but really he needs support in supporting her so all the siblings help out there where possible. Mum has taken some gloves to help protect them all, hope they use them.
Spent the afternoon out in the sun tidying and cleaning up in the garden. It was nice to be together, even got the kids out there for a good length of time before the two youngest sneaked back inside to play Mario/Luigi game together on the DS's. It's good to see them doing something fun together, it warms my heart.
It's Monday and I'm trying to remember how I felt yesterday so I can get it down, but we have some kids in today working hard and chatting so it's hard to think straight and my writing is feeling a bit disjointed. They're losing focus now too because it's nearly break time.
So anyway, it was a nice weekend, strange but nice, and productive which is always good for me. I felt fairly positive most of the day, but occasionally my mood plummets and I have to pick myself up a bit.
