Stupid horrible brother ate my sweets last night, after I told him not to. Stupid horrible nasty brother. Very annoyed.

Saw lovely old friend yesterday. Went shopping (Tesco) and had lunch bought for me. Talked for hours. Was good.

Robert came over in evening. Ate food. Was good.

Currently, despite good night's sleep and doing not very much this morning, feeling crabby and tired in my bones. Possibly tired in the way that means I am really bored and frustrated. Got to skip=800 on my friendslist before I saw entries I'd seen before, and that doesn't touch the stuff I missed beforehand.

Am feeling a bit low, really. No, make that 'like shit'. No real reason bar the obvious. Mother has not taken anti-seizure medication today, so is (duh!) having seizures. Father seems to think I should know by instinct or telepathy what medication he has or has not given her. FRUSTRATED. Have no clean clothes. Also no motivation to do laundry. Carol did not come Tuesday or today (she's our cleaner).

I want my life back.

Just a thought

You can get what are called "dossette boxes" - basically boxes with little compartments that are labelled Mon - Sun, and then AM, Noon, PM etc. The idea is that a week's worth of pills is decanted into the compartments so that you take the right pills at the right times. This is also an aide memoire for carers, and so should make it obvious when someone has or hasn't given your mum her medication. (They feature heavily in nursing homes as well as each patient has their own dossette box.) It may be worth asking your mother's GP or pharmacist about them.

Aside from that there is nothing practical I can do, so just know that your friends are thinking of you and sending feel better vibrations.

Mmmm. We did put together a spreadsheet to tick, but my dad has never got round to printing it out, so it's useless. I'll ask the nurses about a box this evening, if my dad thinks it's worth pursuing.

*loves you*

Have finally sent an e-mail. :) And am here and thinking of you, as always.

Gosh. I get rather irritated when I get beyond "skip=100" (since that has to be at least 4 hours of reading). Then again, you do have rather a lot of friends.

I'm sorry that stuff continues difficult.
