Hm.

Traveling to Dublin to lie on a couch for a week was incredibly exhausting and made me really, really ill. The house has become so filthy that I'm paying cleaners MASSES to catch up on it before we decide on maintenance cleaning. I ended up in A&E with unexplained abdominal pain and some other symptoms and was rescued by a friend who sat with me and drive me home.

My eldest child will start school in September. She's looking forward to it, and I'm happy about the school she's chosen, and all that, but it's a big deal.

My days are very small now. I eat croissants from a packet in the morning because I can't manipulate cutlery until after I've eaten and fruit is too cold. Showering is a triumph. I can get dressed most days. I am not always in pain.

Being basically inactive is so strange. I hope summer fixes me.

My poor darling. I wish you were having an easier time of things. (that sounds way weaker than I mean it)

I hope it fixes you too. That all sounds draining.

And calculating your eldest's age from my conveniently-calibrated nephew ... is that going to be secondary school?

Just hugs, and sympathy. Wish I had a magic wand for you and for my daughter and everyone else suffering from this wretched illness whatever it wants to be called.

I have no idea how you continue looking after three children with all the physical stuff going on. You are awesome and I admire you massively. I hope the abdominal pain etc. doesn't make a return visit.

Yeah.... just more hugs, really.

Hugs if they're wanted, good wishes whatever...

I hope summer fixes you too, and that L enjoys school.
