ddickinson: Sorry to hear you had a bit of a rough night, but I am glad to hear that the pain is almost gone. I hope that your back will be better in no time. I think you still deserve a sticker. :-)

I slept great. I got a phone call this morning from my farther to tell me I could have a few days off, that he thought I could use the time to just relax and recuperate after all that has been going on lately (and also because of the 9 year old little girl who died at the hospice on Sunday while I was sat with her, which hit me quite hard). My brothers and one of my sister-in-laws has offered to cover some of my work, which is so very sweet of them. So I just went back to bed and enjoyed the rare occasion during the week when I can be there when my partner wakes up. I then made her some lovely breakfast in bed and saw her off to work. Now I am just sat at home being lazy for the day (and it feels great!). :-)

So get the rest of the week to myself. But sadly my partner still has to work :-(. But that's okay, at least I won't be so tired on the evening and we can have lots of fun then, and it means I get a whole weekend to enjoy!

I have some house work planned, but other than that my first day off will just be spent being lazy. I know I can't do that all week, as it would drive me nuts, but I can manage a lazy day now and then. :-)

*lots of happy hugs*

ElTerprise: That sounds right - altohugh i'd prefer the 20-25°C but not more :)
