Today is a bit of a mixed bag.
The highlight was getting to see my grandson, his beautiful little daughter, my great-granddaughter, and her mum yesterday.
It was such a joy.
She’s a beautiful little girl, and it was lovely seeing the grandchildren getting to know the newest generation of our family. Those moments are special and remind me how important family connections are.
Today has been one of those days where machinery seems determined to test my patience.
I couldn’t get the lawnmower started no matter what I tried. I drained the oil and still had no luck.
My washing machine is leaking, and then we spent a good hour or two trying to sort out my daughter’s washing machine, which isn’t working properly either.
Sometimes it feels like it’s always one thing after another.
Just when one problem appears to be under control, something else pops up.
My girl is still very unwell.
Her medication has been increased a little, and we’re hoping that might finally make some difference.
It’s hard watching someone you love struggle day after day, but we’re holding onto hope that the changes will help.
Tomorrow it’s back to work, so for now I’ll call it a day and hope that both the machines and life decide to cooperate a little more in the days ahead.
