After 4 1/2 hours of driving in the Dublin traffic today - disability and autism related - I’m off duty until 11am on Friday 🎉And I’ve earned it ☺️

So this morning I ground black pepper into B’s puréed lunch by mistake, and then had to fish all the black bits out again in case the day service staff think I’m using dirty saucepans!

So tired I tried to operate the hoist using my mobile phone 😳 I haven’t even had breakfast yet

A day of caring, cleaning and Christmas preparations lies ahead, plus an important meeting on the other side of the city

The scheduled home care worker for my daughter returned from holiday on Wednesday and texted me at 5.30 this morning to say she’s sick. So I did as much as I could and B has just left on her bus, but the place looks like a bomb site and I’m exhausted 😩 #ACarersLife
