We had a tail wag earlier.
Not sure whether it is the pain killers making her feel woozy or that the pain is getting stronger.
She now tucked up at my feet.
…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

As there's the possibility of rain later and I'm not involved in any kind of rush job at the moment, I took an executive decision to go to the Big Sainsbury's
Unfortunately, I also got around to taking some lingering cardboard (mix of Ikea and Amazon) to the tip, as it's on the way. Arriving there, I found they'd just lowered the barrier so the bloke with the big grabber could play around squashing all the stuff in the skips. I did think about leaving but I was right at the barrier and a queue formed behind me almost immediately. So I ended up wasting about twenty minutes waiting for them to open up again
This meant I was just in time for the lunchtime rush at Sainsbury's, rather than just beating it as planned. Still, I got everything done (well, I forgot some stuff I'd meant to get, but nothing urgent) and made it home again eventually
Upon returning, lunch was a roast pork and apple sauce bap with a bag of plain crisps, as they didn't have anything I particularly fancied at the tepid food counterComment

The great Sky cancellation has been undone. It was easier in the end than trying to sort out aerials, LNB compatibility and goodness knows what. Can kicked down the road for a bit.
My brother discovered that my Mum has been throwing letters from the dementia service people in the bin and hanging up on them when they phone. They had an appointment to assess her in November and have spent months trying to talk to her. She says no-one has phoned and no letters have been received. Either she genuinely doesn't remember what she's done or she's just petrified at a possible diagnosis and has been avoiding it. No point being angry, but frustrated that we have to start the whole process again. This time, they now have my brother's details on file and he will be kept informed of appointments (with me as a back up).
Medical POA being applied for sharpish. Whilst it won't make doctors talk to us, it will help us with making decisions when the time inevitably comes.Comment

My sister has a shared care arrangement (I think that's what it's called?) for our parents, so the doctors will talk to her if necessary.Comment

Dinner has been prepped and shoved in the oven - well, those parts that go in the oven. The recycling has been taken over to where the wild bins roam. The tea towels have been removed from the washer-dryer, where they've been chilling since a tea towel wash the other day, and put away. And the mundane laundry has taken their placeComment
