Yet again I overslept and left too little time to go swimming in between breakfast and lunch. However, I made it to the carers' relaxation day in time for lunch (which, having had breakfast at 10.00, I didn't really need) , followed by 'healing', from a lady who laid hands on my head for a long time and claimed she was giving me extra energy. I wasn't entirely convinced, but it was quite pleasant anyway. I then had a face massage which was fine except when she slapped me on the chin rather hard and repeatedly. Apparently it helps with lymph drainage.
Was so relaxed after all this (it's good when it stops) that I felt like going straight home, but I managed to get to the gym, have my swim and jacuzzi time, and get home minutes before my son. I am Superwoman!
Tomorrow is a regional conference of the National Autistic Society at which I've booked for a workshop which I'm sure seemed very relevant at the time, but the subject of which I've now entirely forgotten. Have to be at Baker Street at 9.30 which is a time of day I didn't think existed on Saturdays.
Have just noticed that the word 'time' appears at least five times (six!) in this post - is my subconscious telling me something? Must be a side effect of being mistaken for a pensioner the other day.
