Douglas FitzJames Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 The toddler brought some disgusting lurgy home from day care. I'm here but my brain feels like it's full of cotton wool. I will post when coherent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aria Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 It is very likely that I will have no posting time for about a week. I have some RL stuff to do and on Saturday, I get another Covid stabbity stab, which usually makes me sick for a few days. I will resume posting as soon as possible.

Yup. Turns out hubby's grandfather was called Douglas, and he wanted to name young Sir after him. I had no objections. We do have a Scottish surname, but the best ones to teach him the accent would be my Scottish God parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catriona MacGregor Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Just reminds me of how far I have fallen down the Ancestry DNA rabbit hole. Just an FYI. Medical issues. Fingers crossed they stop making brain dumb tomorrow. Don't ask how I got through work. Thanks for the patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Blount Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Rest and feel better, 🐱here is an e-kitty to help you feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadell Mortimer Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 I will cherish my e-kitty, christened Purrcock, forever. As said on chat, I'm now at home. I still feel pretty rough, especially after PT, and the meds have taken my wits and scattered them. Plenty of time to post, though, so if you're waiting on me please let me know so I don't drown in the sea of unread posts. And because I haven't said it enough, thank you all so much for being good friends as I set new hospital records - I guess guys in their late 20s don't break their hips much. 😉 but seriously y'all had my back and I appreciate that.

Douglas FitzJames Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Hi Everyone, I'm still having issues with real life obligations (social stuff even, post-COVID, it feels so weird!) taking up a lot of time, in combination with my toddler going through a developmental phase which has seen him develop separation anxiety, and I'm the stay at home parent, so my free time is almost nil. If things don't improve in the next few days I might have to take some leave, though obviously I'd rather not so I live in hope. For anyone interested/concerned, apparently it's a totally normal for his age. It's to do with developing more of a sense of self as a separate entity. He's suddenly got the idea that mum and dad could leave him behind (not that we ever would, but it's now a concern for him) but at the same time he's started doing all sorts of things independently, like helping himself from the fruit bowl when he's hungry and trying to pour his own juice. Helping himself from my chocolate stash wasn't quite so cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Grey Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 My son went through that. The more he realizes you are there, the easier time it will be, and the faster it will go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
