OK....let's start again shall we?
The last three weeks unplanned break from blogging will not go down in my history as the best weeks of my life and the rest of this week will be a little tense too but I need to get back to some kind of normality.
I don't know where it came from or what triggered it but I have had quite a bad bout of depression and I still don't feel entirely like myself but I'll keep soldiering on and hopefully it will bugger off eventually.
There was a rather baffling wobble with Ruby who decided that she didn't want to come to our house anymore and she wouldn't interact with us when we visited her house. This went on for a couple of weeks until she was eventually able to tell her mummy what it was all about and it turned out that she was missing Smudge and was frightened of us talking about him and getting upset.
It's all sorted out now and she is back to visiting again thank goodness.
On top of all this I am still dealing with regular phone calls from brother in law about his ongoing problems but we are hoping that the next three days will see some light at the end of the tunnel and a solution set in stone that will enable him to get on with his life.
We did have a lovely family meal out in the garden for DS's birthday on Sunday. I cooked his favourite roast lamb and the weather played nice so it really was a nice relaxing day. He loved it and is now angling for an August Bank Holiday barbecue so we can do it all over again.
Today it has not stopped raining and it's thoroughly miserable although I suspect I will be wishing for rain and cold if we get this very hot weather that is being predicted.
Well I had best get off and get ready for Miss Marlowe. I am watching her for an hour while DS goes to an appointment and then Ruby will be here later......Andy is on standby to pick her up from school if DS isn't back in time so two little rays of sunshine to brighten my day.
Hope you are all well. I shall come back and have a catch up with some blogs later on after tea.

Sending hugs your way, Sheila. I understand how depression can be. Glad you're feeling a little better. I'm glad you got that sorted with Ruby. It's surprising how children think sometimes.

I;m sorry you have been feeling depressed. I have had it too recently my doctor gave me blood tests and we found Iwas very low in vtamen D, which can make you feel low and depressed. i've been on a Vitamen D supplement and feel much better.
ReplyDeleteI always look forward to your posts and hope you feel better soon.Best wishes to you.
I'm glad you got your vitamin D sorted out. I had a test for that but it came back OK.
DeleteThank you for your good wishes.

ReplyDeleteThank you Tanya.

Sorry things haven't been great for you recently, but so glad you are feeling a bit more yourself now and will continue to do so. Isn't it funny what goes on in a child's mind? Glad Ruby's back to visiting again now. That will do you the world of good xx
ReplyDeleteI wondered where you'd gone! Sorry to hear that you've been feeling in such low spirits. I hope all will be ok. Poor Ruby...all sorts of things go on in their minds and it can be hard to fathom. Sometimes it's just an overheard comment that they misinterpret. Glad all sorted there.
