Back to normal

OH was playing a golf competion (not sure after a 2.00am bed time last night).  So I sat up in bed with my ipad and a cup of tea and watched Aimee's film.  Huge sadness came over and I had a thought/worry that when James goes travelling later this year, he will sort Aimee's things and her life will be relegated to a succession of black sacks going to the charity shop!  I was bereft and couldn't contemplate this - I messaged him with my worries and he phoned straight back.  I was so upset and tearful but he mopped up my tears and understood.  I know there will be a time for sorting and clearing but not now.  Her bedroom at home is the same as the day she left this world, slippers by her bedside and make up and toiletries on the dresser.  Onwards and upwards.

I was pleased to be home and my day was mostly washing.   Thankfully the weather was lovely drying weather (unlike winter holidays).
I was grateful for a few hours on my own and after packing away Tesco delivery (and defrosting the freezer) had a clean and tidy.  After 10 days away everywhere seemed dusty with dead flies!!

OH home around 3.00 and had a quick sandwich and relax then off to care home.  I visited too this time as it has been ages since I went.  MIL looking older and frailer and seemed unhappy?  Not a great way to end your days, but as I have said before she is 90 and Aimee was 34.  Cruel world.

Day done and easy dinner from the freezer, using up frozen bits which had lost their labels - thankfully turned out to be chicken casserole with lots of vegetables (salad for the last week).

No photos today but the picture shows the milk container No.2 takes from home to the studio - Hannah loves a label maker as much as I do.  She is a sweetie/keeper but No.2 anxious about the 'future' and may agree to couples counselling (H is American and he quipped their solutions are either 'guns or therapy'........quickly qualifying that guns were not an option?!)
