12-12-22 Friend and Family to the rescue
Today started lovely with my advent gift
And a smile on my phone which I have changed my wallpaper to show people pics. Always good to wake up to a dear friend
Also grateful that I knew my trailer would sink in the winter, or the walk would heave, in any case, my gate still opens
The rest of the day was a whole lot of “ do you not know I have paid work to do?”, which exasperated me completely. The best part was that Sawyer was suffering a cough from a cold and couldn’t go to school so R-A took him to work and I picked him up at lunch and brought him to my office to watch Netflix and hang out. he is such a good little tyke and I enjoyed having him. He often told me he loved me and just brought calm. He really wanted a sleep over but it wasn’t possible tonight as I stayed working for a while after he was picked up. His mom was very encouraging in the choice I need to make about my volunteer time and the frustration I am feeling there. It is hard for me to let go of things I have done for free even if they are taking time away from my employment responsibilities and causing me stress. The fun thing was my phone kept showing me great photos of Sawyer as a wee one.
I made it home and made myself a meal and enjoyed a few Crown Peach when I got a message from my neighbour, Tracey and she came over and gave me a big hug and we had a good vent session that now leaves me ready for a peaceful sleep. I am grateful to the good women and wee men in my life. They keep me smiling.
