Another seizure, L's birthday, Walk on the Downs

Monday July 20th
Watched a comedy film, was a rainy day so home stuff, this and that. EEG appointment date obtained.

Tuesday July 21st
Home day again, think I was knackered from various things.

Wednesday July 22nd
Last Forest School. I took Freya by taxi and came back as was under time pressure for 3 different other things. Went to visit my mum and had a happy visit on the whole, a bit of singing and hand holding and a giggly mum.
Then got a lift back to Forest School picnic, which included shoe/mud excitement, rounders, what are they doing behind the tree? and a flour fight. Plus the Starley Bs and we (all of us covered in flour, some of us with a garnish of mud) managed to actually catch the bus together after a recent failed attempt.
So a lovely relaxed fun day for Freya, unfortunately followed by another night seizure, when there was no clear trigger or cause that we could identify, which makes it much more difficult to live with really. It was quite similar to the last one back in May.

Thursday July 23rd
Recovery day, did take Freya to GP but shouldn't have really, sleep and rest would have been better for her. We went to Costa and also bought birthday presents for upcoming friend's party.
Decided Freya couldn't go to various things that involve nights away until there is more stability about these seizures. Hoping that comes soon.
 
Friday July 24th
L's sleepover - Freya was able to stay very late despite not actually sleeping over, thanks to C helpfully offering lifts. So she was there for most of it except the actual sleepover part.
J and I had curry and watched Ex Machina, which was good

Saturday July 25th
L's sleepover continued - Freya went up early, again picked up by kind C. Then they went for a swim, had a nice time. I went to pick her up half twoish.
KayB came back with us and stayed for pizza and we watched Home, which had been looking forward to, but slightly spoiled for me by poor J having a work call and ongoing activity resulting from that, immediately after dishing up pizza and just as film was started, so he couldn't join us properly. Worse as he had paid for pizza and for DVD, so felt so sorry for him.
Freya and I walked KayB up to the bus stop and she got the last bus before it would get dark.


Sunday July 26th
Home day, lazy, did a bit of work I think, trying to keep on top of deadlines.
In the evening we watched Pride, an excellent film, liked it a lot. I did vaguely Mexican food - enchiladas (filled with mushrooms, broccoli and peas in a basil sauce and topped with tomato and cheezly, home-made guacamole and spicy potatoes.
 
Monday July 27th
Went into town for a few things, and did various chores involving phone and snail mail and such.
In the afternoon A and L visited, good to see them, had a good chat with A. L and Freya did decorating night light holders as L had missed out on doing that at Freya's birthday weekend sleepover.

Tuesday July 28th
Think it was a home day, don't have much recall!
 
Wednesday July 29th
We went for a long walk up on the Downs, with a picnic and some sketching. It was lovely, really did me good to spend that time there. Everything was good, the cloud and occasional sunshine passing over the golden slopes, the butterflies and birds and life all around us. We did get a bit lost, my fault, but it was overall just a joy really.







Thursday July 30th
Home day, Freya did some writing, and later Geography homework, and we watched a lot of episodes of Outnumbered on Netflix. Relaxed day.

The joy of Internet lives for today's teens. C's greatest achievement since term ended was watching all 5 series of outnumbered. Again.

In fairness her term ended earlier than most but that's still a lot of streaming.
