Good Morning my friend
That is such a coincidence, I am doing the very same thing this week, my kids are ready to go bananas and are at each other so this week we are doing the same thing. I have my son and my daughter is with her dad, to give them some time apart, to get some one on one time with a parent, to have some peace and quiet and to get the schooling done and not have a nagging sister (in our case) bothering.
I am feeling hopeful that school will be resuming shortly and that will give the kids the normality and the routine that they need back, as well as their friends too. I think this has been a good lesson for them in life but I will be happy when we return to "normal" with regards to school.
Has home schooling provided her with some confidence and some ability to get the school work done? I know she suffers anxiety and really struggles to get to school so I am wondering if she has found home schooling better for her mental health?
How are you today? I am back in the office today so that is a nice change of pace for me and it is nice to actually get dressed for work rather than spending the day in PJ's..lol
Have a great day my friend
Chat soon

Hi Sarah,I have had a bit of muck up morning as i had to pathlogy so i can get the all clear for friday but when i go to the one i normally go to two towns away i find it is closed to wednseday and then an elderly couple came a long who needed test done today as well for a procedure said the one in the next town 20mins away will be open so we went there and they were open so hopefully all is good with the test now.
I think my daughter is liking home schooling now that her brother is with her mother and she did four hours this morning and asked me if that was enough for the day and said yes and thought that is more work then i did in a whole week of school.
Good news in qld we are going to be allowed to go to the shops for non essential things.I will also be allowed to give my daughter driving lessons again and go for a ride or a drive within 50kms from saturday.
Take care,
Your friend,
Mark.

Hey Mark
That is great news that you got your pathology sorted, what a fright that the first place was not open, I am sure that would have caused you panic but I am really pleased that you could see others there too and that together you supported each other, even in a small way, that was really lovely. I wish you all the best for your procedure on Friday, I hope you are feeling calm and mentally prepared for it.
That is great that you can start driving with your daughter too, get you out and about as well as having some nice time with her and getting her hours back on track, a win for everyone which is awesome.
My son was so much happier yesterday after being at home with some space and not having to argue with his sister all day, in saying that she did facetime him as she needed help with maths and he was there for her to help her and assist her so I am really happy too that he did this for her.
Hopefully we will start to see some normality resume, I am really going to take check though and make sure that I do write some sort of list to myself about the things I have learnt in this time and what matters and what actually does not, what I do want to keep doing more of and what I perhaps can stop doing, interesting times.
Have a great day my friend and chat soon

Hi Sarah,I had a busy morning as i took my daughter to her psychologist appointment.It went well.I got some KFC on the way home.Spoilt my self.
The hospital rung me monday chasing my test but she said she will ring me back if their is any bugs in them.I havent heard back so hopefully alls good.I am getting a bit anxious now as its not far away.
The home schooling going ok and have to pick up some more work from the High School tomorrow.They are doing a drive through to collect it.I think seperating them has worked well but next week my ex will have to have both of them.
Lets hope we are over the worst of the coronavirus as the states slowly reduce restrictions and can get back to some normality which i really need for the kids.
Take care,
Your friend,
Mark.

Hi Mark
WOW..your new profile pic is great and I just know that is from your amazing garden, how awesome.
Just wanted to stop in and say that I hope everything goes as expected for your surgery tomorrow and I wish you every success and look forward to hearing how you are doing.
That is such a cool service that you can do a drive by and collect the kids school work, how great, the way we are schooling our kids is sure very different.
Be kind to you today and try to do some things that distract you from overthinking too much about tomorrow. All the very best and look forward to hearing you are home and that everything went well.
Huge hugs
Sarah

Great to hear that your procedure went well and that you are home safe.
Hope you can spend today taking it easy, perhaps a movie or two.
Not good that you are still in some pain but hopefully that will subside soon enough.
Great to hear from you and hugs as usual.
your friend
Sarah
