Busy Doing Nothing...
Well, here I am in the office working over lunch time (okay, looking like I'm working... but the boss isn't here just now, so I can get off with it) and I've got a grump on today... no special reason, it's just how I woke up this morning, and it's too much effort to try and change it.
The weekend was fairly crap... working on Saturday, and then Sunday was spent just lying around doing sweet Fanny Adams.
Visited Dad on Saturday evening, and he was in bed already. Auntie is now back in the Residential Home, and (touch wood) seems to be doing fine. The nurses and social workers are going to do a review of Dad's mental capacity, because the confusion definitely isn't getting any less, and there's no way he could come home at the moment - even if physically he got to the stage where he could dress himself and move around independently. So, it's looking like he might be heading for Sheltered Housing or (god forbid) a nursing home... The old Dad would have hated that, and if it comes to it, I'm going to feel so guilty for being the reason he ends up there... but the decision seems to be coming down to me...
On a slightly better topic, the snow has gone... to be replaced by cold wind and rain... I guess winter isn't over yet.
On the work front, I think I'm going to be shunted down to the shop less often now... Our new girl is going to be left to cope a bit more on her own - I might have to go down for the last hour or so of each day, but that's okay, coz it means I can get to Starbucks for a coffee after work's finished... not like when I'm stuck out here on the industrial estate.
Well, I guess I'll go now since the boss will be back soon... back to the sums for me...
Catch ya later!

Don't blame yourself, Ally, it wasn't your fault.
