You are quite right, Ellie.

I think I was just having a pity party... bad.

There IS some kind of change in the air, so let's see where it goes.

And thanks for taking the trouble to post even though you have your hands full at the moment. Sorry I can't contribute much in the way of practical advice to you as I really don't know anything about the issues.

D is home all day today, and I spent quite some time with her helping her with homework and then talking about related stuff. I love spending 'quality time' (creepy term) with her, but I was a bit wound up in general and was snappy. I had to get a grip. Now I have got her tidying her room, which she is doing with enthusiasm (wow!!) before she goes off to play with her friend.

Life goes on...

...H just rang, to tell me he was coming down (that means he is up back home at is place?) on Wedensday, to do some stuff at one of the offices he deals with (something to do with taxes, no doubt) and did I want to go with him and D for lunch? I said, OK, if it doesn't clash with one of my lessons.

Livnlearn, the hard way!
