MY WORD OF THE WEEK – Boring
This week has been very boring.
Monday was a bank holiday. In the past I would have been stressed that we didn’t have anything exciting planned. A trip out, a BBQ, something fun for the family. This Monday was just another day. I didn’t even see anyone until mid afternoon as they all had a lie in. I didn’t fret about going out, I enjoyed the peace and quiet, even if it was boring. My daughter had to work, so she’ll get a bit of extra money in her pay packet.
Tuesday is usually the Little Man goes out with his care worker but he was on holiday this week. The Little Man’s dad said he would take him out instead but when I texted him after lunch time he had only just got up. So, there was no day out for the Little Man. He promised to take him to lunch on Wednesday instead. Something slightly less boring was having a Dominoes for dinner… contain the excitement now.
Wednesday, I texted the Little Man’s Dad to tell him not to worry about taking him out to lunch as I’d already treated him to something from Greggs. Dad was out helping someone else. The Little Man wasn’t bothered. Something less boring on Wednesday, I had a call from the vet about Sabrina who I talked about last week. The test results are in and she has a little inflammation in her stomach which might be causing her a little pain, so he’s prescribed some pills. But other than that there is nothing wrong with her. She’s just an old cat who probably has a bit of cat dementia. So the meowing at night, refusing to sit in the living room, doing her ‘business’ wherever she feels like and generally being a pain in the backside is something we will just have to deal with. This week she did a big runny poo (sorry TMI) on my wheelchair!
Thursday, we had appointment and some prescriptions to so ex had to turn up with the car. I’d not seen him since Saturday, or my car, or my power chair. I had my chair out of the boot. he can keep the car for one more week, but when the Little Man goes back to school next week I’m going to do the school run with him and hopefully take over and take my car back.
Today, is a little less boring for Boo at least. She is off out with her friends again. We have submitted all her final details for her college so we are just waiting on a start date now.
So, that’s my boring last week of the Summer Holidays.
Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week? (My apologies to those of you who came early, I had re-posted last weeks link up, it should be this weeks now.)
There is nothing wrong with a boring week, personally I am all in favour of one every now and again. Glad Sabrina’s condition isn’t as bad as you thought. I did all the college enrollment with Madam this week.
Boring can be seen as ‘restful’ lol. But I know what you mean. Hopefully, you’ll have your car back soon and you and the Little Man will be up and about again.
Monday was just another day for us too apart from we went out to eat but probably still would have without it being a bank holiday.
That’s a shame that Little Man’s dad missed a day out. I would be so excited about having Dominoes for tea, we can’t get it delivered to us and the nearest one is a long bus ride away.
That is great news about Sabrina.
Good on you for getting your car back, good luck with the school run and with Boo at college. We have a start date for my youngest and all the paperwork sorted, finally!
Boring can be a good thing sometimes and a peaceful bank holiday of doing very little sounds nice. What a shame Little Man missed out on having a day with his dad. Glad that there doesn’t seem to be anything seriously wrong with Sabrina. Hope you are able to take over again with your car and good luck with the school run next week. Hope you get a start date soon for Boo for college. #WotW
When things don’t go according to plan and I’m stressed out, I always find myself wishing for those “boring” weeks. Sometimes boring just means less stress, haha! Sorry about your cat being unwell. Ours had stomach issues and she made messes where she shouldn’t have earlier this year (yuck!). We took her to the vet and she was put on anti depressants because all her troubles came from being depressed about our new kitten ruining her calm life. She’s off the meds now and has reluctantly accepted her new and sometimes annoying roommate.
Yes, ours had stomach issues but the medication has worked and she’s eating well again. She’s still messing in all the ‘wrong’ places though 🙁 I’m glad your cats are getting on now, I’m sure it will get better. I remember when we had Ash six years ago, Sabrina wasn’t happy at all, but they were soon cuddling up together on the sofa on colder evenings.
