Apologies for no blog entry over the weekend. As the title says it was my wedding anniversary and also Christ The King. I didnt actually make it to church because my son's sleep pattern has gone out. He is autistic amongst other disabilities and he has Melatonin to help him sleep but every now and then he does what we call a sleep reset. This is where he stays up for as long as possible and then goes to sleep. It takes a few days for his sleep rhythm to right itself but compared to him going to bed at 4am and sleeping until 1pm every day the sleep re set works as eventually he will go bed at midnight and wake up at around 8am. I hate these sleep resets as it means I cant leave the house as Paul is also type 1 diabetic and not quite fully independent yet with this. So therefore I couldn't go to church and when you think about the fact that even when I got married I still went to Christ The King the next day. You can gather how much CTK means to me.
I have not had Holy Communion since Easter. Every week I try and make it to church yet something always comes up. Ive spent a large part of the year mentally unwell so didnt feel confident to go on my own. Plus there is a new Priest I have not met yet so its all a bit much for me to go through at the moment. Besides I watch my church live stream every week and there are some things that I personally consider cringe like dancing to songs and action songs designed for kids but we all have to do it. This is where knitting at church comes into play. Thankfully we get an email about church each week and sometimes we are warned about the action songs.
Barry and I have agreed to resume looking for a place to live. Our tenancy is up in February even though the landlady says she will sell with us in situ its likely she will issue us with a section 21 for eviction in February because lets be honest who sells a property these days with tenants in it? We are going to look and do viewings this month and hopefully move in January. I just want an end to this where do we live in a few months?, thoughts in my head. It feels horrible not knowing where you are going to live. I just want to move and be done with. So that's, that.
Its a wreath making activity for me and Paul to do in a few days. Paul isnt impressed but I think it will do him good to do a craft activity outside the home. There are also lots of activities at church coming up including his old school friends coming to our church for a craft afternoon. I am going to try and persuade him to go to that one. No midnight mass at our local church for the umpteenth year in a run. I might go to a different church that does do midnight mass. I don't know why every church doesn't do midnight mass, it used to be the highlight of the church year. Well for me anyway. Most churches say they do a Christmas service so do this instead of midnight mass. I think churches should do both.
So we are nearly in December, who knows what the month will bring. I've booked a small getaway for Christmas day and hopefully we will go to Mottisfont. But with house viewings we will have to see.
What are your plans for December?
