  Words fail me.  Rosie and me had our first heated quarrel.  As hard as I tried to explain my reasons for needing to move into an assisted living retirement home, the more she balked at the idea.  ".... but MOM, I'll take care of you!  If I'm not doing enough to help and care for you just say so and I'll bend backwards to please you!" The truth of the matter is that she doesn't understand the insidious beast of this disease that will destroy all of us unless I step aside to let them get on...

  OMG drama! Thing is, I may have shot myself in the foot and didn't see it coming.I have written about my lovely little granny flat and how safe I feel with my daughter in the house.  Well, all that's about to be tested for a week (Sat-Sat) when they go away for a holiday at the coast.  I'm being left in the "care" of the nanny who has absolutely no knowledge about firing up or re-fuelling the back-up generator when we have a power outage, who has absolutely no first aid training should I...

  ..... and so we have come to the end of a busy, if not hectic. week ... for me, at least.  Today the weather is cool and the moisture from last night's storm still hangs in the air.  So too is the genral mood in the house.  Tiredness has caught up with them and not even a cosy sleep-in this morning has helped to soften the frowns and groans of the day before.  Rosie is particularly quiet and moody because John is getting ready to travel back up-country for another week's work on the...
