Blog for Saturday 12th April 2025

 I only got up late this morning as my mouth was sore and I felt a bit sorry for me!

I missed Shamara terribly this morning - no feline friend to escort me from our bedroom to her food bowl, no husband n bed alongside me plus, I was not feeling that crash hot.

I went up to my studio and had my Quiet Time and uploaded my  blog before going downstairs a bit later when Mich’ woke up.

Today has been a quiet day.

First, I waited ages to hear what the specialist had to say about Ken’s leg still having no feeling and desperately trying not to panic about that!

Apparently, it is perfectly normal, some people’s muscles just take longer for the spinal block to wear off from.

The physio’ had Ken up and using a walker – which my darling man had neglected to mention to me! Which just goes to show one must NOT worry as we so often do that unnecessarily!

Unfortunately for me today I have felt nauseous, which is not a great feeling, but one that will pass.

Mich’ has spent almost the entire day trying to connect our TV again and get it working on the internet, but I think it is too old, or needs major updating or whatever, but if she cannot get it to work no one can! She thrives on a challenge like that and seldom will give up until she has it working.

In the afternoon I even laydown and tried to sleep, but no I just rested for a while with Raafie before getting up again a few minutes later.

Mich’ and I worked hard on the puzzle I bought the other day, but my good gracious golly gee, it is almost impossible. Talk about a patience learning curve and all that! What was I thinking!

In the evening Mich’ and I watched a series on her laptop about Kid Influencers in the world. Really scary what some parents have done to their children for the sake of gaining money. Basically, using them as cash cows for their own gain. Terrible!

We both went to bed early, but I took a while to go to sleep.

It looks as if Mich’ will leave me tomorrow as Ken will probably have to stay in hospital seeing our river crossing is too high and it will be almost impossible to get him home safely. In many ways I would be happy if he has to stay there under the guidance of the physio’ before coming home.

Mich’ took several days off to come and help us but she cannot do that indefinitely so will have to return back home shortly. I will miss her company greatly as we spend a lot of time chatting and laughing a lot!

What lesson did I learn today? That some 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles s-t-r-e-t-c-h one’s patience greatly!

What am I grateful for today? A quiet day at home with Mich’ – our youngest daughter.

My saying for today is …
