It’s a tricky situation
Caring for mum
Having to continue at work due to that
Not becoming more of a full time agnes
But

Miss S is there
Mum is doing considering how bad it was and could have been
My job is part time and I have a lot of autonomy
Because I have been lucky in the world that Miss has created for me, I am able to be me once I am home. I have been enjoying those times, feeling lucky and savouring the real small things. My colouring books mean more to me. Quiet times are lovely. Bedtimes (with there songs and stories and nursery rhymes) are fab
and slowly I am building a better “inbetween times” — I am inbetween retiring and carrying on, I am inbetween part time agnes and full time agnes, I am inbetween caring for mum and not having her (I definitely don’t want to lose her!)
So I potter along and enjoy what I have because many don’t have that luxury
Just being here and being me makes me smile, and I am grateful for that
