Tomorrow, Husband and self are off to see the folks. We get to stay in the highly luxurious(!) static caravan out the back of the bungalow and spend time with family. Husband is meeting Den's new-ish bloke for the first time. I reckon they will get on v well.
Realised recently that I have not updated you on Mum for a while. She has been discharged from the care of the specialist. Also, the OT, speech- and physio-therapists are taking a step back. They are happy with her progress and it is basically down to her to keep on keeping on. She is much more 'herself' these days, tho' I guess it will never be the same as it was. She has been told to practice her writing. I found this out when a mystery card came through our letterbox with a piccy of three cute cats on the front (prophetic?) Inside, was a shaky version of Mum's writing, complete with crossings out, telling us that she was practicing her writing and mentioning the weather. S'funny how such a simple thing can make your day!
In other matters - had a meeting today where we voluntary yoof workers discussed the coming months. Went well. Am looking forward to yoof stuff restarting in a couple of weeks and am hoping that the group will grow and develop. They are such a cool bunch of kids. Sometimes I wonder how I got here. How did I, Dith, get to be a yoof worker? Would never have thought myself to be made of the right stuff for it. Yet here I am, filling the role of volunteer in my little church. Not really a big thing, in the grand scheme of things, but surprising to me nevertheless.
Anyways, signing off now. See you after we get back on Friday. Take care, and don't blog too much while I'm gone. You know it will take me ages to get up to date when I return ;)
