Saturday was grim – well bits of it were – Jimmy decided – and a good decision – that he wanted to do some work but as he’s missed so much school - either by not being there physically or just not being there - he was uncertain of where to start - and we nether coped well with the ensuing discussions - I wanting to help, Jimmy wanting not to upset me – both not knowing the best thing to do - Alex phoned in the middle and got both of us!
Anyway the day did get better and Aziz, Jamal and Rob came round and I managed to cook some reasonably nice chicken, and Jamal ate five pieces and we all ate cake, raspberries and cream/ice cream. Jimmy was quiet but we had an OK evening.
I was going to see Casino Royale with the boys this morning at FACT but Aziz woke up as sick as a dog and has vomited all day, so Rob took Jim and Jamal instead.
The choir that Peri conducts has got through to the finals of the 2006 BBC Radio 3 Choir of the Year which is fantastic news – she rehearses with them every Sunday. I am going to have the boys for the weekend of the final and we will either listen to it radio or it might be on TV. I saw a video of Peri and the Choir and she looked amazing!
Back to work tomorrow though I am going to the Probate Office in the morning to do what ever I have to do – I know it involves swearing and taking two forms of identity – I’m taking Jim the Exec with me – I’ll be glad when it’s all over with and I can draw a line under the money etc stuff.
Got a lovely email today which told me to take things slowly and I think this is good advice. I think it would be easy for me to pick up loads of stuff and then to struggle – and I do struggle – yesterday for example.
So back to work – TAKING IT SLOWLY – taking my time – and recognising that although I’m OK I am still ‘Work in progress!’
Time to make some supper for Jim and I – and with my cooking disasters - that too is work in progress!
