I am so far behind even I doubt I'll catch up this time. I have just had a seriously hellish 12 days. Having major issues with No 1 grandson, he took ill last week, I took 3 days to get the tree up, my cards took 2 weeks and I only just got some Christmas shopping done today. Between keeping up on my brother's issue (he sees the consultants next week), trying to work out what to do at Christmas itself and to cap it all, she who shall remain nameless has just shoved us back in time 3 (which is really tier 4 because we have 5 tiers but they are numbered 0,1,2,3,4). Anyway, let's give this a go because I haven't been eating that much anyway.
Bed 7.9 FBG 6.7 7 December - Grandson was at school but getting a bit sniffy. 3 classes still self isolating - over 100 kids (don't get me started on class sizes).
B. TAG- no time to eat as I mucked up my chiropodist appointment and had to rush down the road to get there.
L. A SLC sandwich with ox tongue and M&S whipped cheese.
D. 2 lemon sole cooked in butter and lemon with wilted spinach.
Tuesday 8 December Bed & FBG 7.9 -
B. TAG and SLC sandwich with egg mayo
L. Nipped out for some shopping in between trying to get the tree up and had to cut it short as No 1 grandson unwell and in a right state. Got him from school and back to ours for some TLC.
Rest of the day was taken up with getting grandson home after collecting Mum from work, getting No 2 Grandson from school, getting him home later and by the time I got home again I was past it so had a SLC toastie with ham & cheese.
Wednesday 9 December bed 7.3 FBG 7.9
Grandson off school so a bit of back and forward (we are less than 1 mile apart) so one to school then back for the off colour one.
B. TAG
L. 2 slices SLC toast while trying to encourage No 1 to eat
Finally finished tree.
D. Poached salmon fillet with lettuce, avocado, tomato and mozzarella minis. DGF no carrot cake.
Thursday 10 December bed 7.9 FBG 7.8. Much the same as yesterday. 1 grandson at school , one with me. Thankfully, school is nearby.
B. TAG
L. Nothing - trying to convince No 1 to drink water at least.
D. Boys wanted broth, boys got broth. I eventually ended up with an omelette.
Friday 11 December bed 7.1 FBG 7.8
Tried to get No 1 back to school but got so upset I had to take him away again. Had to get DIL to work inbetween getting No 2 on half day pick up.
B. TAG
L. Nothing
D. Found 2 of these melt things in the freezer. Sausage meat stuffed with Mexican cheese and coated in my crumb mix with paprika in the mix this time. Had it with lettuce, tomato, avocado. 1/2 a box of cherries.
I was physically drained and no idea how to convince No 1 that school was safe to return to next week.
Oh dear, Maglil, you are really running yourself ragged. Do be careful, especially after the hard times you have already had so far. One person can only spread so far, however hard you try. We have missed you and worried over you these last few days, so it's clear how precious you are to all of us. Try to treat yourself as one special, precious person.
