My Place

Re: My Place

Hi @tyme 

 

How are you today?

I am just chilling at my friend’s house.

Heading over to my son’s house shortly as another carer is coming for 3 hours and my son now lives close to here.

Re: My Place

Hey @Oaktree ,

 

My day was pretty good. I went to a church service this morning, then went for a swim, then went back to church for a second service.

 

Sounds like you've had a pretty busy day today! Carer? Your carer?

Re: My Place

@tyme 

 

No my friend’s daughter’s carer.

I am looking after the daughter until tomorrow but I got 3 hours off this afternoon because she had a carer come.

Re: My Place

Ohhhh! Got it lol. Sorry, I was confused @Oaktree . I thought you had a carer!

 

Would you say your day today was okay?

Re: My Place

@tyme 


Yes I had a good day. Looking after my friend’s daughter is pretty chill because she is a person with autism among other disabilities so she needs low stimulation. 

I went to my son’s house and played games for a little while this afternoon so that’s always fun. I am only here until 11am tomorrow and then I can go home. When I get home I will watch the two shows I record each Thursday night

Only problem is that I finished my book this morning.

Re: My Place

I can imagine you would be so gentle with her @Oaktree . You are amazing. 

 

I'm glad you got to play games today again.. the Muffin game again?

 

What other games do you play?

Re: My Place

@tyme 

 

No we played a game called Joe that a friend of my son made up. It’s far too complicated to explain but it is a lot of fun. I took muffin time over there but we didn’t play it today

Re: My Place

Ooo, so you make a lot of the games up? @Oaktree 

 

That's pretty cool.

 

With your book, would you read it again?

 

Also, you said you have an ipad, right? Do you use reading apps?

 

I use Cloud Library, BorrowBox, OverDrive and Libby. There's no shortage of books there - both books to read and audiobooks.

Re: My Place

I have an audible membership so have plenty of audiobooks to listen to. I can’t do that here because I have to hear Merc tell me when she needs a catheter. I am on my iPad now because my phone is charging. I have heard of borrowbox before. That’s through your local library right?
