Thats no good @Shaz51 So many people are getting sick lately. Bad winter for sickness. I hope they give you something to help.
@Bow I feel ok, just a bit tired. Didn't ask me any questions they normally do before I left....
That must be frustrating, unpacking the car just to repack it again. Hopefully both you and your mum are better so you can go to the market.

Yeah packing and unpacking the car is so annoying @Snowie it’s a bit like Tetris, making sure everything fits in and still room for D if needed on the back seat.
packing and unpacking at home isn’t toooo bad. Everything has its place, just a long day at market the last thing we wanna do is unpack, but we smash it out in a few minutes.
The big country market we have on this Saturday is a bit of a hassle to get the car, we have allocated plots in rows and if someone else is blocking the row you gotta wait. Rule is you unpack and then get your car out. But not a lot follow the rules. Then at the end of the day we rush to pack down everything. Cars are not allowed back in until the 1:15, market is over at 1. So there is always a rush to get everything packed down and then run to join the car queue and hopefully get in load up and out super quick!!! Absolutely hate pack up at that market!
Other market we go to is fine.
my step dad use to leave a lot of stuff in the other car and it was annoying driving around with it, things sliding around.
sorry you probably didn’t need to hear all that!!
you feeling ok this arvo? Do you wish they had asked you those question???

Sounds like a bit of a commotion at times @Bow especially packing up.
I'm not sure if I would have told them the truth even if they did ask the questions so not really sure how to feel. Oh well, over now.
I feel ok this arvo. I normally bounce back fairly quickly after ECT. I don't find it hard to do, just that hubby has to take me, hang around for about 4-5 hours and then take me home. Feel like I put him out more than anything else. Also where I have it is in the city so have to deal with peak hour traffic.
Have you got any plans for this afternoon?

I'm safe @Bow, I often think do we get used to having those intrusive thoughts. Wake up and think, just another day with them, no different than yesterday.
Good that D is busy with something. Hopefully she hasn't been annoying you too much and you have been able to get some rest. What ya watching?
Maybe have a competition with her. The fastest one to fall asleep wins a prize!!!
