| TGIF |
I am so grateful that it is Friday. What a week.
Last week my grandmother had (another) heart attack. This is not uncommon, but for a short time it was seeming that this may be the last time. But apparently not - she was sent home from the hospital on Monday. Sunday was the last carrot meeting - an excruciating 4-hour workshop that left me totally wrung out. Wednesday I went home from work at 10:30 with a killer migraine that necessitated also taking Thursday off, but which was (fortunately) mostly rectified by a hurried trip to a physiotherapist. And, of course, beingt old I didn't get the carrot. Today I went to work again (unable to use the computer, though, as they did not migrate my user profile whilst doing the network upgrade yesterday) and was at work when I got sprung by the Director & Deputy Director taking a personal call on my mobile - alright, they didn't tell me off (or even mention it), but I'm not supposed to have my mobile on whilst on assignments. However, given that it was my father calling to tell me that my grandfather has been diagnosed with cancer in the lungs & pelvic bone - prognosis is six months - I felt I could have gotten away with it. Still feeling exhausted from two days of migraine, I was probably a little on the edge of hysteria when Mr Ata called to see if my father had gotten hold of me, so I hope the counsellor who was standing behind me while I giggled my way through explaining that yes, I'd got the call, and my Grandad has terminal cancer, did not think I was insane or hopelessly coldhearted.
All in all, I am glad it is Friday, and Mr Ata now has four weeks of holiday ahead of him before his next job starts. Very glad. Very, very glad. |

I'm sorry it's been such a rough week. I hope you can recharge this weekend to deal with the ongoing things that came up with family health issues.
