Re: Not sure what to do !!!
Hey @Shaz51
Always busy.
I am not sure about leaving my nice new outdoor setting out in the rain. Aaaah the troubles of possessions ... lol.
I decided to paint a room today. I will take my time with it. I did the ceiling a few years ago but when son moved back in I stoppped the job, time to finish it cos there is no furniture in it, cept for his bookshelf, and I can work around that.

Re: Not sure what to do !!!
@Appleblossom, @greenpea , @Adge , @Former-Member , @Determined , @Smc
work is nearly nothing now , so not sure if we will have the jobs again later
i think we will still have the jobs but all our customers are saying " don"t come this Week" and soo on
we are self employed @Lee82 and it is hard getting support anyway
anyway mum is 88 and very frail , she had a fall 7 weeks ago and hurt her arm badly , and it is not healing as it should -- has a steph infection in the arm now
we have had lots of rain but sunny and very hot today
with this not working mr shaz has been sleeping in and with encouragement from me we have done some things in the house and yard
did not get to sleep until 1 am this morning as we had a adventure with a four legged pest , a rat come in , think he is gone now , hope sooo

Re: Not sure what to do !!!
Hello @Shaz51 @greenpea the cool change where I am seems to be inspiring the critters to try and get inside. One of my dogs has taken to guarding the yard at night. Sorry your work is drying up @Shaz51 . It is the same for us. My partner not having his normal work distractions is a bit of a worry. 🤷🏻♀️ How is your Mother going @Shaz51 Have you tried getting her into an aged care facility. It would seem a safer place to be with the Covid-19.
Hope your day is going well.
Cheers

Re: Not sure what to do !!!
Hi @Shaz51 @Former-Member @greenpea @Appleblossom
So you have been painting a room with a bookcase in it Apple - that is one way to fill in a day - I'm glad there's a bookcase there and I hope some reading planned in there - I am planning reading and I have down-loaded a couple of books to read on line and I am looking forward to that - with winter coming I can plan reading in bed with the fonts large enough to make it easier for me and this feels like and electronic step forward
Shaz, Carer, the Pea
Rodents - I still have them around but only one at a time and they are easy to chase out of the roof banging on the ceiling or the walls and it will leave and I am thinking of getting another cat - even though my old cat was too old to be interested she was a presence and kept the rodents away - and now I seem to have the local infestation checking out my roof and hopefully eating the bait there and hopefully this will end though I do know about rats' habits from the pest controller
So what do you guys do about it? Shaz - yours seem to be in the open but I have the feeling one came in your house - and you have someone's dog hanging about - hopefully the presence of the dogs will hopefully be a deterrent
Not fun - can I tell a story? Okay - you don't have a choice - I love my stories.
My son had a cat - she was small and had a beautiful coat and would hide in his bed in the morning after he'd gone to school - she always left her tail out though - and purred loudly whenever I went near her - she was a good cat
In a short period of time she killed 7 rats who were nearly as big as her and dragged them to the back door just for us - such weird presents - I rang the local council to let them know about so many rats and they said I would have to pay for a pest controller and I told him my son's cat had been busy and successful and they should pay me - but they didn't
I don't know what to suggest about those rats and if there is one there are more - I haven't seen one rat but there is so much evidence that they are about -
Sorry everyone - I have managed to forget what most of this series of posts is about but yes - Mr Shaz and other partners not coping with the changes in our lives lately - amazing how some of us deal with it and get on with whatever we do and other's are freaked out. I guess that shows how MI affects some people - the degree of uncertainty about the future is always a hard subject and we all do what we can
All the best everyone
And oh yes - it's Tuesday - time for my favourite Tuesday Meme
Dec
All the pest today everyone

Re: Not sure what to do !!!
Aaaaah @Owlunar You made me laugh a couple times.
No not started on painting yet, moved the ladder in. Baby steps.
It was my son's bookcase with stuff he was not prepared to take to his new place, but not prepared to give the alright to heave ho. So ... ??
Today I played a lot of piano, gardened and delivered lots plants to my physio for the both the clinic and the physio and her girls.
Hey @Shaz51

Re: Not sure what to do !!!
I love stories my second mum @Owlunar
yes it does shows how MI affects some people , like mr shaz does not like changes
he loves to know what`s next , and with his Ocd as well
but I find that if I am ok then mr shaz is ok
planning is my key but does not work when he tries to take control of things
