Two days in a row??

Not sure if this has happened before,posting twaddle two days in a row, but I've started so I'll finish as the saying goes. And now I Have lost my thread cos I can't remember the man from Mastermind name. And it will annoy me all evening. I really should get out more.

So today saw me take the Ma for a tootle out in the car. By the time I had got her shoes and coat on her, car manoeuvred to the door,zimmer in, followed by getting her in - not an easy task - I was ready for a lie down not a trip out! Magnus Magnusson,that was his name I think.

Anyway, off we go, she drives very well from the passenger seat, why is it always people who have never driven that tell you how to do it? She took her test about 8 times but still never passed. It's like people who watch sport on television with a running commentary about what should have happened. Anyway, I digress. I find that happens a lot these days, don't you? There I am thinking or talking about one thing and before I realise what's happening I change the subject. This is not really a matter of national importance you understand, cos to date I don't think it has made the slightest difference to my conversations. I put this down to the fact that I tend to mix with people who are like me, and they do it too. Do you ever have those times when someone gets distracted then says to you - what were we talking about and you don't have a clue? Then welcome to my world.

So, we go down to a nearby garden centre. She says she is not getting out of the car. I say ok, we'll just give these things to the friend I had arranged to meet and we'll go home. Do they have Christmas decorations she asks. Yes Ma. Well I want to see them. Fine,I'll go and get a wheelchair and take you round. I'll walk with my zimmer. You won't manage it, it's a long way. The exercise will be good for me. It's too far. I'll be ok. This will be worth seeing then, you've only managed 5 yards for the last month. Luckily as the doors open a lady appears with a wheelchair  as if by magic, and befor she can protest she has her sitting in it and we are off! Now, I have to say, I wouldn't want to be pushed around in a chair by me - I am a bit erratic at the controls because I forget I am in charge of it, and I tend to be easily distracted by pretties and sparklies, but I managed not to destroy anything,including Ma. Not entirely sure that made it a good result, but never mind.

I have now forgotten completely what I intended to write about, I hope it wasn't important.

Just as I was getting into my new life........

So yet again time flies by and I forget I have a blog that I keep telling myself I will write musings in on a regular basis - and never do! But imagine my surprise when I found myself in t'interworld by accident again and THREE people had commented on MY ramblings!!! I tell ya, I was totally bowled over - as you can probably tell, I don't get out much.

Anyway, thank you very much to you all for your kind comments, it has fair cheered me up.

So where was I? Oh yes, I had just decided to get a grip, be positive, get out into the world - then wham! The next bit of reality comes along to screw it all up. My Ma is taken very ill and needs looking after - translated that is full on care, she can only shuffle about 10 yards with her zimmer and can't do stairs at all - and although there are 4 of us I appear to be the unanimously uncontested winner of the guess who is going to care for her competition. I'm not entirely sure there was a vote taken, but as everyone else expressed their interest or not as the case may be, and each conversation started with something on the lines of " well of course I'd LIKE to be able to help, but I'm far too busy" - you get the picture. I've always been the weakest link.

So, less than 2 years after the harrowing journey with my man I am back playing carer. I will now have completed the set. All 4 of the parents and a husband - does that qualify me for a badge of some sort do you think?? I said to my daughter should It be discovered at this stage of my life I was adopted at birth I don't want to know - I am NOT looking after anyone else!

So, there I was tootling along, getting out of my comfort zone, crafting days going well, lots of positive thinking and all that stuff, little business building up, when bizarrely, exactly 1 year from my launch event I have to put classes on hold while I try to assess what will be happening with this situation. It's a good job I'm already not quite wired up right, this could tip a sane person over the edge.
