Stayed with bb last night. I planned to say a prayer then snuggle up, but I fell asleep in the middle of my prayer! Oops!

Went to work today. Not much to do lately. In fact, I have hardly any chargeable hours. Went home straight after that to put down the overnight stuff and had some lunch before going to pick up my teacher from her home. We took a taxi for a 3pm appointment with her doctor. Then we walked back to the chapel. We stopped in the interim for afternoon tea! Then I attended the anticipatory mass with her, followed by Way of the Cross. We went out for dinner together with other church friends. Dinner was nice. A lot of laughters. My teacher was very happy. It was getting late, around 10 pm and everyone wanted to go but my teacher is probably the only exception. I don't blame her. She's been house-bound for so long and it's the first meal she had outside for a few weeks, and there's so much laughter! When I go to her place, I tried to be as cheerful as I can and try to cheer her up as much as I can too. But there's a limit. It's been about 2 weeks of nearly everyday visit and taking care of my teacher. There had been quite a lot running around for her too. It's pretty tiring, I must say.

No, I'm not complaining. Just recording how I feel. At dinner, while my teacher was away to the washroom, I told the others that I have spoken to another church friend and she was going to say to all after tomorrow's service. I said we need some schedule among ourselves so that the work of taking care of my teacher could be shared among us, rather than just the few of us. I explained the situation and my teacher's condition. We need some short-term plan and a tentative medium term plan, as my teacher is considering getting back to work. She is not yet confident to walk to the tube station on her own, as there are steps and slopes. For the same reason, she needs someone to go home with her.

I told them for the last 2 weeks, things at work are ok and my boss had been away. Now he's back and things are picking up, I'm not sure if my working hours could be as regular as it has been.

The other thing is I'm sacrificing not only my time, but also those I spend with my family and bb. It's not them who needs me. It's the other way round. I need them.

It's also taxing on my work, in a way, as I'm so tired.

I suggested that we need someone on duty and perhaps someone as insurance in case the one on duty becomes unavailable at short notice for whatever reason.

Well, at least I have raised it. Let's see what they come up with.

I'm going to the usual 9:30am service. Attending mass on two consecutive days. wow!
