The Family Night that Wasn't

We weren't supposed to have Family Night tonight but that isn't how it turned out.

Richard popped in to see Michelle, who wanted to see Wendy. Kate popped round because she needed something off my computer. Michelle and Richard began playing with Wendy and Michelle and Kate had some sisterly catching up.



My Mum thought I would be on my own and so she brought me some dinner. Everyone shared that. She was very tired but enjoyed seeing Wendy. Kate marshaled the troops to clear up after dinner. She offered to take Brak to her house so he could play with Denim and Wendy but he sensed it and stuck very close to me. He made it clear he didn't want to go and I thought June would haunt me if I made him gratuitously miserable so I changed my mind. He needs to get out and be part of day to day excitement but I have been in bed all week recovering from my anaesthetic. He has been very bored.



Michelle is still processing the medical news the doctor gave her and she is having a rough time. Not only that but she has been in a heated situation at work. That kid has been going through a terrible amount of bad stuff lately. Her friend Rosie committed suicide, she has had bad news and a few sad anniversaries. She hasn't thrown in the towel; she is still fighting, but she is going through the wringer lately and she is bearing a heavy load.



Wendy woke up in the wee small hours with tummy ache and vomiting. She was ok but not her usual bubbly self. She is cutting those last 2yr old molars, poor kid. Nigel has finished his exams and passed the lot very well, but he has been asked to go to College to help some of the weaker students with some of the work. Kate still has several exams to write and she will struggle because she is dyslexic and Anatomy and Physiology is definitely not dyslexic-friendly.

Sean is off to Merton this weekend. I was to have gone with him but it wasn't possible for health reasons. The longest I have been able to sit up for in the last week is 15 min. I'm feeling better in myself now though so I expect to be on the mend again pretty soon.
