Elbereth slept through the night again

The night shift once again went really well. The twins settled off really nicely and I managed to get a good sleep before Wolfie woke up at around 4.30. Occasionally he has some bad nights and as that was his first bad night for a while I took him through to Devil boy.

Malach then woke up at around 5.30. Elbereth again slept all night, which I think is really funky. She woke up at about 10am. I changed and fed the twins once I’d had my breakfast.

The morning flew by and shortly after Devil boy took Wolfie to his grandma’s house I notice the time. I had told my friend that I would call in at her house as it was her birthday. I noticed that it was 1pm. She leaves to pick her daughter up from school at around 2.30 so I needed to leave the house ASAP. I managed to get ready to go out in just under 15minutes. I thought that was really good, as I had also brought the washing in. It had just started to rain.

By the time I had got a few things from the shop and got to my friends house the rain was getting heavier. I had a funky time around at my friends. We chatted about a few things and of course some Star Wars. I love being able to chat to someone who loves Star Wars as much as I do.

When we set out the rain was really quite heavy. I was really glad that I managed to get the washing in before I left the house. When I got home I made myself a bananatoastie before I realised that I needed to go out and get soya milk. While it is good for exercise for me it meant that I was getting more wet. When I got back from my walk it was not long before I was out again to post the mothers day card for mum. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow. Thankfully though that was that for going out and I could dry.

The twins slept brilliantly again which meant that I could tidy up a bit in the kitchen, fold up the nappies and wash the plastic pants that go with the nappies. That is not a nice job. With my old washing machine I could put them in that which saved a lot of work. The new machine that we have destroys them so I have to hand wash them. I have not been very efficient at washing them as it is not a nice job but today I managed to wash them all. I am really proud of myself, as I have meant to do that for a long time. I am going to make sure that I do not let that amount of plastic pants build up again.

The only problem with washing the pants though is that I must not lean over the sink very well. I have now got an aching back as a result. It has not gone even after a soak in the bath. I have decided that I am going to make an appointment on Monday to get referred to a physiotherapist. I know that it will be a wait but the sooner I get my name on the sooner the I can get seen to.

I have worked quickly on getting my jobs done in the evening and replied to my friend’s messages and E-Mails while listening to the radio on the Internet while Devil boy is out at his friend’s house so that I can rest and read tonight. I tried to send an E-Mail to a friend that I have not been in touch for a while bit unfortunately the E-Mail would not work. I will have to try and get in touch with her parents and then get her details again.
