Confusion and joy.

We got up early, 6 am. Breakfast was shortly after and then the get ready for school, new school. The smart uniform put on carefully, after normal every day tasks were completed. Then the getting nerves sorted, both the child's and mine. Excitement filled the air. Awaiting the arrival of transport was the final task. But where was transport, the time had drifted on and still no taxi. Were they stuck in traffic? A phonecall to the chaperon found no answers, so a call to the school. Training days! All became clear, two more days of holiday for my son, and confused we settled back into holiday mode. Uniform hung up, lunchbox put in fridge and jeans and tshirt became the items to wear again. In the confusion of dates and letters, i'd got it wrong. Thursday was his start day.

So today, a new plan afoot. Washing machine is doing one of the tasks and the cat is out exploring. I'm settling down to try and rest, a flare up of the fibro has made both fatigue and pain worse, and i know i must rest to prevent it worsening. So stitching will on the agenda, i'm determined to finish this, and soon. There has already been some progress and i'm enjoying the design and it's bold colours.

The colours i have changed slightly, using bright Venus threads instead of the pastel-ish Anchor threads listed in the key. I think it's worked quite well and i look forward to hanging up the design, on a wall somewhere.

So a day of confusion, has turned into more quality time with my son, and a chance to relax for a little while longer.
