#673 Saturday 18 August

What a day!  It's 1pm and I feel as though I have been fed through a mangle already.
The day started normally ... except that she refused to eat any breakfast.  This is not uncommon and usually has little effect .... but today it kicked her into very high anxiety.  An hour later we were trying to prevent a bad meltdown.  We thought of hunger and asked her .... yes .. she wanted Subway.  Soon after she was able to inhale a full 12" sub and she was a new girl.  The rest of the morning went well with therapy ... Kat had some very good results.
Kat began a road awareness exercise and found that Kaylia has no awareness of cars - where they are etc.  Now how do we tackle that one??
After lunch she wants 'slee-poo-poo' ..... cup cakes .... shower ... and so on.  I have two lots of visitors expected in the next half hour .... I have no objection to cancelling the rest of the day!

4pm
I felt like calling today "The Silent Scream" .... but that was the name of an '80s anti-abortion film ... can't use that.

7pm
We've been out to buy a couple of second hand recliner chairs for the lounge room .... Teddy has been wee-ing over the old one and we can't get it clean. Since it was over Kalamunda way, we decided to go to our favourite kebab place ..... never again! The place is clearly closing down .... no drinks, no straws ..... and the take home leftovers were put into a paper bag!
.
While we were out I found that a very welcome deposit has come into the bank .... the family allowance! It will be a big help to pay the tax bill that we're struggling with ..... thus helping to reduce my stress.
