Groundhog Day

Worked between two houses today, animals to sort out, then knocked off early to take my granddaughter to an eye appointment.

Poor little thing also came home with a nasty graze on her knee after another child tripped her at school. One of those days where everything seems to pile on at once.

The school had placed her in the red team, but we asked if she could move to blue instead. With everything happening lately and her mum being so unwell, they were really understanding and happily changed it for her. Small things matter to kids, especially during hard times.

Feeling pretty tired today. Maybe the nicotine patch. Maybe just life catching up with me a bit.

Taking a couple of days away from the hospital too. After nearly two years of juggling work, family, hospital life and trying to hold everything together, it’s starting to wear me down.

Still grateful to have a workplace giving me flexibility while trying to manage it all.

No perfect advice. No easy answers. Just the parts nobody talks about. Messy, funny, lonely, and oddly beautiful. If you are the one holding everything together. Welcome to the Back Row!
