DD 12/4

It’s Wednesday, beautifully bright but oh so cold!


Carlene’s requests for today, hot glue gun, two yellow rollers, two aqua rollers and somebody other than me to bring them to her!  Sounds good to me.  She’d clearly productively filling her time and is in good spirits since she’s worried about flat hair!  You know how it goes, idle hands and flat hair means we have trouble on our hands!😆

Given Carlene’s trepidation around leaving her home and spending some time in rehab, it really looks like it’s doing her some good.  Her whole demeanor is brighter, she’s far more active in a safe and supportive environment and, it appears, she’s regaining some lost independence!  Let’s be frank, she’s also in a climate controlled environment with flat surfaces and easy access facilities.  Eventually we can offer Carlene two out of the three because there’s no controlling the climate here with dogs and people in and out constantly!  I’m pretty sure she’d rather have the companionship and forgo the consistent climate!

So while Carlene is working on her mobility, we’re working on our general plans and some organization for the future.  Mary is returning home for a few days to attend some appointments so while she will be greatly missed, she’ll be back soon.  Kate is away for an extended weekend on a much deserved break with family and friends.  Ava will slot in to cover Kate which is wonderful.  Janine is, as usual, in Duracell bunny mode and the rest of us are trying to keep up.  I think she’s going even faster this weather because she detests the cold!

All good, all happy, moving in the right direction!  Although it must be noted, one of us has flat hair!
