This evening is just turning shite. I was sat on the sofa and the (not a lap) dog climbed on me and the sofa cracked. Really not in the position to buy a new fucking sofa right now.

The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

Quieter day today (if you ignore the painful smear test! #3GoodThings
1. Think we're back on track with children's homework. Had become slightly slack in parenting them doing them.
2. Managed to pick up meds before I ran out.
3. WW went ok for once, exhausted from peopling now though

Feeling a bit fragile, and not entirely sure why. #3GoodThings
1. Saw nice CPN, stayed ok,think I'm ok
2. Found out when my exam is, which is good I suppose
3. Was grown-up and called the school about a safeguarding concern I have for my eldest's friend (despite the subject being a bit triggering)

So this morning was about compassion in nursing, which made me think of a time I got a hug from a MacMillan nurse (and the associated death), then this afternoon the session was on Caring in death, and we watched a film of someone dying. Suffice to say it's been a hard day.

We did our first simulation today! Had a lecturer role playing a patient, and we had to do an assessment in pairs. It was really good and we seemed to do ok which was a relief. Remembered to ask the tricky questions.

1. I have bathed, squeaky squeaky clean now
2. Household boring chores done, so I'm feeling a bit virtuous
3. Spent far too much money on growing child's new school trainers, but she's happy!

Never used 'turn it in' before, being an old luddite. Is 13% a bad score? Some of it just seems to be referencing. This is so new to me!

Seeing the Last Dinner Party on Thursday night- husband isn't really interested. Is it wrong to take the 13-year-old to her first gig on a school night? Or bit too late?

Blasting out some Wolf Alice to cheer myself up. #3GoodThings
1. Interesting interprofessional education session this morning- may have worked out why I find my PT a little bit scary.
2. Girls have returned home all bouncy and happy
3. Only a short unintentional nap today.

Did a tiny bit of work this morning, then had an unexpected two-hour nap with the dog on the sofa. Levothyroxine has not kicked in yet, it seems. Unproductive day, I need to wash up and feed the little people. Husband is out this evening. Feeling a bit lonely already. Think I'm thrown off by the nap
