A bed of roses

I started watching Unstable. I'm loving it. Warm and weird and funny all at once.

Had a lovely afternoon cuddling new grandson on Tuesday. He's definitely paying more attention to people and things. Not quite fully interactive - no real smiles - but we have the rest of his life for those <3

Two full days in the office, which went well. 

Yesterday was the first PM/BA meeting. It was a really good meeting. We all get along well, have some similar ideas, and are supportive of each other. We also got on to standardising our governance processes without forcing it.

We're home. A nurse is going to come once a day to complete the course of antibiotics - just waiting for them to turn up *sigh*

And we're having The Debate I've been dreading. The hospital food was edible and had enough calories to keep husband alive. It was NOT designed for a diabetic, but now, of course, I 'know better than the medical experts' because I criticised it. I know almost nothing about healthy eating in general and even less about diabetic diets - I only know what the DIABETIC experts told me he's allowed.

He complained about being hungry in hospital - he wasn't feeling hungry the two or three weeks before he went in because we had the balance of food and medications right and working with each other. But, of course, he doesn't remember that!

*more sighing*

I suppose only experience will convince him.

At least now I can meet the new grandson! And make a start on my clowns!

 Heading out later to meet with mother and daughter because apparently it's my job to organise mother buying a pram for daughter.  O_o  Still, it will enable me to pick up some more bits for new baby at Smyth's :D

Husband and I made a start on the bundle yesterday - hooded towels, cute snowsuit, that sort of thing.

The Queen's funeral left me oddly unemotional.  I expected to feel SOMETHING.  I liked the Queen and I've cried at the funerals of people I didn't know at all!  Husband's view was that the crowds were kept so far back, it lost all atmosphere - which I think there's something in.  Of course, it must have been a security nightmare - the new King and almost ALL his heirs, plus all those heads of state...  There were some wonderful comedy moments, though - Boris being sent to the END of the line of former PMs and an Australian reporter confusing the current PM for a minor royal.  I also chatted to our curate who viewed it from a 'professional' pov :D and pointed out that, at its heart, it was a pretty normal CoE funeral.  So, in her death the Queen wanted to emphasise her 'ordinary humanity' - but all the pomp and ceremony got in the way.  Which is a shame.

Workwise, I've spent the last two weeks, and will also spend next week, switching heads almost every half-hour.  It's bad enough when it's Head A, Head B, Head C, etc.  But sometimes it's Head A, Head B, Head A :D :D :D  The first week of October is looking calmer, at least at the moment - and the plumber has finally given us a date for putting in the new toilet (7 Oct).

Oh, and the 'body shaping' exercise programme I'm following has got me back into two of my suits!  And I can fasten the pants on the other two - just can't sit down in them XD  So, I'm going to give it another month and see how I get on.  It doesn't involve calorie counting or weighing myself, so is much more my 'thing' than the weight loss programme.

OK, enough randomness - time to do my recovery exercises, then get ready for a day out.

Bye, DW!
