Finally got the ACAT assessment today. Without this we cannot put name down for nursing home. Now paperwork can proceed. I am really getting very tired of the heavy sighs and very dirty looks. And the smell in that area of the house. It is starting to smell like a nursing home and I guess that is because of the incontinence and the slightly rinsed knickers left in the dirty clothes basket in her room.
I strongly suspect that my tolerance is less in the last two months because of the pain levels, so I will start the pain patches again and see if that helps. Himself finds the patches are excellent.

John, Kim and the kids arrived about midday yesterday. I called himself and he came home. He had done the present shopping and got a microscope for 1, a lean leopard ornament for 2, a fairy for 3 and a blue and silver soccer ball for 4. All very well received. They loved the bracelets left for them and had to wear them all afternoon on either ankles ot wrists. The kiwi was a big hit.
They are truly the most gorgeous kids. 1 and 2 decided to learn how to play checkers - weren't doing too badly before dad and grampa bought in, 3 wanted to play chess. I convinced her I couldn't. 4 was intermittently all smiles and grumpy as hell - didn't sleep well last night so was exhausted. They went back to the motel about 4 pm.
At dinner, himself asked her what she thought of the kids - she said "What kids?"!!!
Today, I have the chook on cooking, may be for lunch or the kids dinner. The ham will be baked this afternoon.
They were also very pleased to hear about Yanni.

Have put in the core for the watering system, the house is now surrounded.
Restarted coaching, Jess has improved her flexibility over the break so the change leg split looks a lot better. Tumbling not bad but needs to do punch front-punch front before she does her layout fronts, otherwise she does low takeoff. Did some work on tour jete and they are starting to look as though thay may work. Front handspring - flic on beam getting better.
She is driving himself nuts, really has not got a clue.
Next week her name goes onto the lists for entry!
