Wednesday goes grey

[octophone]

I'm being accused of being unfestive for wearing a grey jumper. It's the 6th, folks. Calm down.

Wait till you see what I'm wearing for the Solstice...

I thought you meant GREY HAIR when I read the title. Sorry, I’m just not ready for that yet.

Why does it still feel so cold when it’s a GLORIOUS 6 degrees outside?

I'm in Portsmouth today and tonight, just been to the Christmas market and had my first ever Yorkshire pudding wrap. It was pleasant. But not much flavour.

Yorkshire puddings are best considered as a carrier for flavour. I'm not saying that you can't make a great Yorkshire but, at the end, of the day, it's some carefully cooked batter.

I'll be singing at a carol service at the uni chapel this evening wearing a pale blue Christmas jumper with a reindeer on and holding a melting candle 🕯
Other than this, and on Christmas Day at home, not many festive things going on for me, haha, unless 3 assignments due throughout December count

Yeah I think I may have realised that today. Usually they're covered in gravy so I don't notice.

Hello Moopy, brain dump incoming.

Mr Sheena’s Mum died at 2am this morning after her illness. It was lovely and peaceful and he and I were at her side as we were doing the night shift. Weirdly full circle as the same thing happened when my Dad died three years ago. It’s all been very triggering, on top of the fact that I loved his lovely Mum, and I have had no more than four hours sleep a night now for six days and have been driving three hour round trips daily (bar yesterday’s all nighter). Seeing Mr Sheena’s totally able and healthy Dad being physically unable to walk/ function with grief was one of the most sobering things I’ve ever seen. Kept repeating “oh Pat, oh Pat, I’ve lost everything, I’ve lost everything”. Married for 63 years and he just doesn’t know what he’s going to do without her. So, so sad.

I’m entirely exhausted, indeed, I can’t remember ever feeling this tired, really emotional and sat on the sofa with Mr Sheena snoring on my shoulder and I’m about to open a bottle of red and make pasta as I feel like I’ve lived on sandwiches for a week and can’t take any more crap.

I’ve got some work to catch up on and I’m not sure my brain has capacity to do it- and on that note, thanks to the daily thread for reminding me it’s Wednesday, as this point I have zero fucking clue.

So sorry to hear that @Underneath the Shee

I’m really sorry to read this - I hope you both can get some rest tonight. One thing that is really clear from your post is how much of a team you and your partner have been in dealing with this tough time
