new sofa ready to use 
) as well as do more outside the house - driving lessons in particular take a lot of "emotional" energy - and I just don't have it in me to do preps as well. I'm doing very little bits, but its no good prepping if you're trying to extend a miserable life. Quality of life is important too.All that said, I had a massive prepping win yesterday. A pleasant day out, 2.5 hours walking on a beach with my sister, stuffed my face when I got back, and in the early evening, making another cuppa, I realised the water was brown. Cue lots of investigating via my water company's map of "incidents". Yep, two incidents a couple of hundred yards away from me. Don't worry about the brown colour and the bits in the water, they say. Ha! But I was really, really tired. Fortunately, I've been stashing big glass jars - the type that hold 900g of beetroot
and after thorough cleaning, I've been filling them with water and placing in every spare nook and cranny in the kitchen. So I just had to reach out and grab a few, rather than rummage about upstairs.The most I'm doing today is operating the washing machine and the dishwasher, I too am hanging on waiting for medical news of family.
GeeGee - you really don't sound like you're at a standstill
but of course you're at a complete standstill in terms of getting medical care for Mr GeeGee, and that's huge. I hope you hear really soon.Kudos to us all, for coping.
