So - Wednesday/Thursday - the weather was gorgeous - I was working from 2pm to 11pm.

I don't remember much about Wednesday - I think it was quite uneventful!  Yesterday though wasn't a great day.  I started off in the morning chatting to my sister Joanne on Messenger -we asked how each other were and ended up talking about Dad, and I ended up getting upset for the first time in a while.  I had not been allowing myself to think about him at all - because it is upsetting.  So when Joanne mentioned something I said that I'd thought about him on my birthday - as he'd normally call and mention the nice weather, and tell me again how I was born in a heatwave.  I got upset - just as Andy came in...

We ended up going and sitting in the garden and talking about all the stresses of the new job - him not being able to find a new job - the virus, the crapness....so not great really....

Then we came in - made a Sri Lanken Curry for later on - and then I started work.  Spent hours just sat at the laptop reading through cases, doing an online course....trying to keep busy....all the way through until about 9.30pm when I stopped to eat...actually just prior to this Helen had finally received the video of my Dads funeral - so I started to play it - got upset again almost straight away and turned it off again.  So felt fed up all over again.

Once I had finished work - we watched some TV for a while - then I got to bed.  I sat in bed going through my dads facebook page looking for videos of him - I just wanted to hear his voice...

so - all in all not a great day....
