Blue Velvet

It's been a funny old day. Started off with dodgy guts. Then a stressful day at work - I'm coming to the conclusion that taking on Health and Safety Co-ordinator for the Northern Region is going to be too much for me on top of the day job, especially as we only have 2 and a bit months before I get made redundant. This evening I had a sad but good phone call with my step-mother about my dad and his Alzheimer's. He's going into respite care for a bit. It's hard to hear about him struggling to remember people and losing his old self, but not as hard as it must be for my dad and my step-mother.
