Some Of My Birthday Presents

Others can be Blipped tomorrow if it is as wet as it is today, and I want to avoid outside for as long as possible again.

I will have to go out today as I said I'd visit Dad, and though Brian is off work and could be persuaded to give me a lift I want to get some steps in after being bone idle yesterday. I'll meet him after at Morrisons.

Tomorrow I will have to go over to Metheringham to supervise the handover of my Dad's car. I'll also need to call the DVLA and get that side of things sorted out too...

While I'm doing that he will be seen by some people from Age Concern who will assess his needs for when he goes home. Truth be told I am dreading that. Estelle and family go on holiday for 6 weeks from next week so there will be no one on hand at all.

I can't be there all the time. It's yet another recipe for disaster. I can't come and go between carer visits either - it would be impractical on many levels.

I need to look for work again too. At the moment it feels like I already have a full time job with visiting, things to organise between visiting, not to mention all the mental bandwidth the whole situation takes up!
