The night shift went well last night. Unfortunately though I really struggled to get to sleep. I was aching a little but even though I was tired I was also seemingly wide-awake.
The twins woke several times during the night but then were quick to settle.
Wolfie also managed to get a really good night’s sleep as well and woke up later than usual this morning. I am hoping that because he is now getting a nap during the day he is sleeping better at night.
I slept a little later that I wanted to which got me into a little flap. I wanted to get up a little earlier so that I could get Wolfie off for a nap before the health visitor cam around and I went to the group in the afternoon. I got a really funky parcel fro a friend of mine on the Internet. She sent some really nice clothes for Malach to wear when he has grown a little.
The heath visitor came early as I was getting Malach ready but thankfully she could not manage to bring the scales with her. This worked out for the better. Devil boy took over getting Wolfie off for a nap and I then chatted with the health visitor. She told me how well she thought I was getting on. That was really funky other to say that. I think that I am only managing to do so well because I have been getting so much help form Devil boy.
I got into another flap though as I was getting ready. I was on time for getting out when Elbereth made a big mess which required a big clean up. I was late then getting out and rather late for the group. Wolfie though was so worn out from his walk that he happily sat on my knee while I sang nursery rhymes to him. The rest of the group went really well. Unfortunately during singing one of the rhymes I needed to stand up and as I went to kneel down I must have positioned y knee awkwardly so I really hurt it. It is swollen now and still hurts
Wolfie took a visit to paddisville on the way to visiting Devil boys grandmas house. Thankfully she lives close to the centre and he was able to get some food there. Devil boys mum is in the area for a fortnight. She is planning on moving back to the area so she is house hunting.
When I got back Devil boys new computer bits had arrived along with my new speakers. They are very funky but it now means that I now need a new sound card. I unfortunately was very much on edge and very critical of myself. I have not done this for a long time but I was calling myself names as soon as I did anything slightly wrong. I thought that it was ironic after what the health visitor said to me this morning. I am sure that I will be all right again. I have been working on overcoming my depression for some time now and while I am managing to make really good progress I have dips from time to time.
Wolfie managed to settle off to sleep nicely tonight and I then was able to have a lovely soak in the bath.
The night went well. Dad managed to call me from the hospital. It was wonderful to talk to him; I was not expecting it so it was a really funky surprise. I managed to say happy birthday to him. Bless him he was really emotional at the end of the phone call. He has been getting down, as while the surgery was brilliant his aftercare has not been so good. He has had a few problems but mum has managed to get something sorted out about it.
I then called mum afterward to ask her about something that I am planning to get dad for his birthday. I am also planning to send off the puzzle books that I got for him tomorrow along with a DVD that I got for mum.
The twins have been very unsettled tonight. I have now managed to get Malach settled but Elbereth is still awake. While I was talking to mum Wolfie also woke up. Devil boy went through to see to him and after I stopped speaking to mum we found out what had disturbed Wolfie.
There was a big noise from next door. At first we thought that they were doing some home improvements and we were not too happy as it was lat. As things progresses we realised it sounded like demolition rather than improvement. It was a huge noise and there was lots of smashing noises going on and crashing. I was quite scared but thankfully there has been quiet for sometime and the police are around now. I do not know what has happened but I dread to think what their place looks like now. Thankfully their children did not sound like they were in.
Devil boy thinks he has managed to get his computer working funkily now. He has had a very challenging afternoon with it but he has done a really funky job of getting it to work. I have also managed to find some websites where I can learn Gaelic. I would love for Wolfie, Malach and Elbereth to learn Gaelic so I also thought hat to help them I should learn it as well. It will be a while before I can go to college so I thought I could make a start now.
I am hopeful that this incident has passed now and that out nightshift goes well. Thankfully Wolfie has settled back to sleep, the poor wee poppet.
