Don't know where you are but it's been boiling here today after a frosty start. I've dried the towels and the whites, waxed the car too.

Morning all: Milder today and looking good for the weekend. Nothing planned for the day, just the same four walls to stare at.

My husband went into respite care yesterday.I am relieved,but feel guilty letting him go. Looking after him is getting beyond my capabilities,I'm afraid. At the moment nothing feels real and I can't sleep or relax. It is an excellent home where he is.I checked the inspectors report and it has been given 8.8 out of 10. The staff are professional,but very friendly. I rang up and they said,he is lovely,we all like him. I found this reassuring,as when you like someone you look after them better. We'll just have to see how it goes. I have never been on my own before,so it will take a bit of getting used to. I like my own company and am looking forward to pleasing myself about things -but I don't know how to do that yet.

I am sorry Althea, this is one of the things my wife and I discuss now and then. She wouldn't be able to cope with me If I was taken ill. I've cared for her for years but I'm afraid If she fell again I just couldn't manage her now. Must be very strange to suddenly see an empty chair and start making meals for one instead of two.

Don't feel guilty, he will be well looked after and I bet he will enjoy the experience. Is this temporary or permanent respite? It is of course not a good time to be on your own and seeking things to do with the lockdown but I expect you will find something Best wishes to you XXX

Well it's still cold here ... Maybe a Walk through The Nature Reserve - I think it's allowed now.

It's bright,but very cold here. Thanks for the support guys.I haven't made my mind up finally about permanent care,but now it seems most likely. OH is only going to get worse and looking after him is already beyond my capabilities. I think it would be easier to let the respite run on to permanent care rather than go through all the heartbreak of taking him away again. I can't sleep,but that will come back.I can't relax and I think it's because I feel like I'm in a dream at the moment. I know everything will settle down soon.
