lauradi7dwI spent Tuesday-Thursday with Flo, B, and the babies.
I was with them about 11 hours a day, but spent the nights with a friend, who also lives alone in a house. She plans eventually to convert what is now her upholstery workshop into a downstairs bedroom when she becomes unable to use the stairs, so she's ahead of me in that regard.
Most of the time I was holding babies, but while the family was at a lactation specialist appointment, I went for a walk in a nice (public) woodland and was chomped on very much by mosquitos. When I got back home I couldn't find my anti-itch ointment. It must be in the house somewhere, but no luck so far. It's not like it's the only thing I've lost, but the timing was unfortunate. I smeared on some hand sanitizer instead, something I've been doing from time to time - it makes the alcohol stick on the bites.
