Behind The Painted Smile....

Silence is more musical than any song - Christina Rossetti

I had a very upsetting and stressful day...

(Could it any worst???)

I enjoyed my cup of tea and hug...

  I blew my hubby a 💋

&

Gave my kids 💋💋

Now off out in the dark↓ 

At least it reminded dry for my lollipop job!

I finished in one piece..

Few cars decided not to stop while I had my lollipop stick up in the air.

Still no sign of reaching double figures↓

I had a coffee & nibble when I got back

Followed by pie for light lunch↓

Just before I left, 

We had a message from the Carers.

They had called an ambulance for my dad,

as he looked and felt dreadful.

My dad was refusing to go in the ambulance.

My younger brother told him to go to hospital as he won't last much longer.

My brother asked me to swing around to our dad's house before I go off to my job.

I however knew the reason why he wanted me to go round,

I would end up in hospital with our dad for 6 hours while he would carry on with his day!

I declined, I do go past and saw the ambulance in the drive....

I needed some postive tunes to keep my spirits up...↓

 I had a quick peek in the newspaper↓

I looked across the fields of fun↓

While I was finishing up my job,

My younger brother kept texting me to say dad hasn't had gone left to live....

(He was finding reasons to live the hospital)

I left with a red face.

More singing to do...↓

  My hubby was having the same texts I was having from my brother!

My dad was suffering from low blood pressure, infection and sepsis.

I enjoyed  quick coffee↓ 

I had to keep it together.

I went down to do my lollipop job.

My boss turned up with a new name badge for me to wear...

She saw how bad the car drivers were.

I stopped both sides of the road,

 One woman driver didn't fancy waiting for me to cross the kids over, put her foot down and nearly took off my arm holding the lollipop stick!

Once I finished,

I tried on my new lumo coat...

Guess what????

It says it was two times as big as the coat I was wearing....

It turns out...

It was two sizes smaller than the coat I was wearing!!!

I couldn't do the top buttons up 

Or

The two buttons at the bottom!

Off it goes....

It's being sent back! 

I said goodbye to my boss.

Back home to get changed.

Off to the Happy Place Of Work..

Once I finished late from being in the factory,

everyone had left....

(I hope they do this tomorrow as I had loads to do on Friday!)  

Hubby done us a nice steak tea.

Hubby and younger son went off to see my dad..for 20 minutes.

When he came back, my dad looked terrible, and was turning yellow.

I went down to do my final job with lots of singing and crying...

My younger brother was trying to pester me.

He first trying to phone me at home.

(I had left for work)

Then he tried me at work..

(I can't get no signel)

He wanted to come around after work.

I was in no fit state to talk to him,

I told him to leave it until the weekend. 

I tried out the hot water by having a hot shower when I got back...

Going to have red panta eyes tomorrow due to all the crying I had been doing...

(At least my dad is hospital being looked after)

At least the Friday Feeling is back tomorrow🎈

The thermal knickers go back on!

First cup of tea of the day and hug...in bed↓

 I gave everyone sloppy 💋💋💋 before I left the house↓

 Brrrrr it's freezing↓

 Plenty of fog around.

Some car drivers wasn't using their headlights...

It being dark and foggy!

Just some Land Rover thought they didn't have to STOP when I raised my stick!

I finished in one piece.
