I was woken up about 05.45 by Betty throwing up on the caravan doormat, lovely! It's nothing to worry about, she's fine, she does sometimes bring up bile early in the morning if she's not eaten much the day before....she didn't eat much yesterday as it was a hot day, which reduces her appetite. I'm glad we're going home today, it's forecast to be hot and sunny the next few days. Which is great, except that the van gets too hot for Betty and I, we cope with the heat much better at home, more shady cool spots there and more space.
Husband's increased forgetfulness continues, I'm having to repeat things more and more the last couple of days. We're being bombarded with emails, texts and phone calls from insurers, car hire and garage firms following the accident on Saturday, which is a bit annoying actually, especially with poor signal. And doesn't make for a restful holiday!
And just to top it all off, the problem relative has chosen this weekend to go off on another pointless, self absorbed, attention seeking rant about nothing, using emotional blackmail and even phoning the police as he wasn't getting the desired response from us (they simply gave him the number of a mental health crisis team to ring, I don't know whether he did or not). I've temporarily blocked him again, I've got enough to deal with - real problems, unlike his imaginary ones. His latest obsession is that he thinks he's got skin cancer - as he's severely agoraphobic and never goes outside, not even to sit in his garden, it's unlikely.
The driver's door on the car, which took the biggest impact, has dropped a bit. Husband can still open and close the door, with a bit of lifting and wiggling, hopefully it will get us home without incident. A garage firm rang this morning, they're arranging to come and collect the car.
Poor Betty...hope she feels better soon. Good for you, blocking uncle! You need a rest!

It's not good to wake up to a dog or a cat being sick is it. I always dive out of bed just on reflex and then get all jittery and the poorly animal just looks at me mournfully, as though I've disturbed them!
ReplyDeleteHopefully you will get home and the garage will collect the car and then get things in motion for you. You do the right thing to block the problem relative, you don't need an extra dose of worry and anguish at the moment that's for sure.
Oh, yes, I well remember that sound of a pet retching. Not nice, especially first thing, when you're not really awake. Good for you blocking your relative. You've got enough on your plate and by the sounds of it, he's unlikely to accept any help you offer anyway. I hope the car problems can be sorted quickly. You don't need that hassle either! xx
ReplyDeleteBlocking sounds a very good way to go - goodness, you have enough on your plate without having to cope with things that are irrelevant. xx
