  1. I explore the psychological necessity of routine and domestic labour for the elderly as a means of maintaining dignity and purpose through repetitive tasks that serve as vital frameworks that hold a person’s identity together.

  2. Well, this week has so far involved a seizure from Jarrah (he missed a dose of his medication, which doesn't bode well for reducing it over the next month, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it), a night of digestive issues for me, and a call from Dad late this afternoon, who thankfully didn't need the hospital this time (probably just dehydrated and low blood sugar; I went over and made him a cuppa and a sandwich).

    It's Tuesday. Wtf. I'm putting in an order for less drama for the rest of the week please.

    However! Good things are happening all the same:

    + Kid4 has been playing Diablo 2 and loving it and keeps asking me stuff and last night we had a chat about some things (waypoints and identifying items) and he said, 'It's so great to be finally playing a game that I can talk to you about!' (because I play few games, but Diablo 2 is one of my very faves)

    + we have a hot day forecast tomorrow but after that, hopefully it'll be into cooler weather

    + the kitchen stayed clean until the weekend! I say 'stayed clean' – I mean, I kept it clean. Obviously it's a bit messy now given the last couple of days but I feel like it's not overwhelming. Also, the fam is helping with this – yay for a virtuous circle

    + fit in a good trumpet practice before Dad called. I missed so many days last week and I really noticed the difference in my lesson

    + I ordered a record for my birthday soon and it arrived and I'm so delighted 🥰
