Family SHOULD help, it's true, but my sister doesn't see it that way. She expects everything done for her when she visits. It's like she never lived here. And my boyfriend DOES know better, he just doesn't think!

Sleeping on the floor - well, an inflatable mattress (nicknamed Fred the Bed)on the floor - isn't doing my joints any good. But then again, neither is lugging heavy boxes around. The arthritis in my hands is playing up and my wrists are getting increasingly painful. I have very weak, thin wrists and it doesn't take much to damage them. Migraines are never fun, but somehow it's worse these days because I can't rest quietly on my bed. The only place I can sit is in the lounge and mum has the TV on all day, so there's no peace and quiet to be found. I've got my Lapis wand and my Moonstones working overtime, which helps, but what I really need is a decent night's sleep - I'm lucky if I get 5 hours sleep a night, and I wake up several times ever night, often having a panic attack because I'm disoriented and don't know where I am. It's so dark in here with the light out, I can't see a thing.

Thanks for the positive energy - I need all I can get *hugs tight* Hope you're doing alright.

Oh god, something went crash outside, better check that out. We've got gales at the moment!
