MY WORD OF THE WEEK – FALLING

This week I have been feeling low and my mood has been falling but it’s also a word that sums up a lot of things for us.

Yesterday morning I suffered a nasty fall after getting out of bed. I’d got up, put on my cardigan and reached for my walker. But then my left side just let me down and I toppled forward, over the walker and into the wardrobe…well, it would have been the wardrobe but Graham had left a ladder propped up against so I banged my face on the step of the ladder. Luckily my eldest son was awake and came to my rescue and got me back on the bed. I didn’t feel anything, my whole left side was numb (not unusual for me.) But as the day wore on, the numbness wore off and I was very sore from the fall.

Last weeks school meeting went well and The Little Man has been a little happier at school. But Boo has started falling behind again. She’s struggling with the work and struggling with going into school. She seems to be tired all the time and as soon as she gets home from school she’s into her pj’s. We often have to wake her for dinner or her shower. She’s constantly falling asleep. She’s been like this since having Covid, where her only symptom was extreme fatigue. I do hope she improves soon.

And then there is the fall in my mood. I have tried not to project it on other’s but my family have received a lot of my grumpiness. I don’t know whether it’s because of my treatment last week bringing me down. Or the weight of everyone’s issues on my shoulder. I do often feel like I’m falling.

Then there is the falling of buildings in Ukraine, the news is very depressing at the moment. I do have a story to share though. I’m in a group of like minded people on Facebook and one of our members was in Kharkiv. At first she wanted to stay home but she eventually fled with her family and is now across the border, safe but homeless. She told us a story of an old lady who saw a drone outside her window and threw a jar of pickles at it making it fall from the sky. It shows the true spirit of the Ukraine people.

Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week?
