not been a good start to the year

Aunt Jean's funeral was last Saturday, there were a lot of tears and a lot of laughter.  I am still reeling from her dying, she was one of those people who you (rather selfishly i suppose)  think is just going to go on forever.  It has left me exhausted mentally and physically, especially as I feel guilty that I feel that I am mourning her more than my Nana when she passed.  My mum keeps telling me that this is because Nana was in a near vegetative state for 7 years and we had that long to say good bye to her.

Mother nearly caused another scene at the crematorium,  despite it being frosty and icy, the grounds hadn't been gritted and my poor mum (too busy telling the older members of the party to watch their feet)  went flying, she now has a huge black bruise on her thigh.  When we tried to alert staff to the problem we were told they had nothing do do it with it, it was the council.     What can I say to that?  I don't know

I am really really run down at the moment,  have been really good healthwise since May, but have had the vomiting bug (without the vomiting) and am now off work again with a viral infection that starts off as a cold sore, and might turn into shingles,  because of the risk of shingles I am to stay home tomorrow and rest!   Not happy, but needs must, not been looking after myself which with the fibro is pretty silly as I will land up being signed off if I don't watch out.    Got a serious lecture from the Doc telling me to go home and rest.

So I now have my feet up in bed, watching Mr Darcy (as I always do when I am not well)
