I know you are breathing @outlander - and that's good
Where are you now - what's happening?
Have you done the washing? What time to you leave?
Your kind and wise owl is watching over you right now

Oh @outlander
Whatever else you do or don't do today - keep breathing - that is kinda the most important thing to do
For goodness sake - how many loads of washing do you have to do today? I think you are up to three
I've done one and there is the other one - that's two since Friday - ah - I have an idea
How much would it cost to do the washing at the laundromat and how much would it cost to buy sandwiches for the kids?
How much to have someone come in an vacuum? - tidy up after all these people? - cook dinner? etc
Your mother would be shocked at the price - something like $50.00 an hour - it's just an idea and I don't recomend it but giving your mother an account of how much it would cost her for a cleaner and baby-sitter would really be an eye-opener but then - it seems to me she is blind to just how much you do to allow her to work -
She actually can't afford you
I paid my daughter to do the vacuuming and some of the ironing - I was working and studying and didn't feel it was fair that she do these extra chores without paying her something -
Okay - enough of that - all the best with the operation today - and as for being scared - I know - I will be doing that tomorrow - MRI - not even anything happening - just someone looking
So I get it Outlander - it's horrible - but keep breathing
Hugs though
