Well everything started as per usual – I lie in bed listening to Stephen get Lilly up, this is usually around 6:15am.
Lilly: “I want to get uppppppppp!!!!!!!” (doesn’t quite yet understand that she can get out of her bed and leave the room herself)
Stephen: “Good morning Miss Lilly!”
Lilly: “I’ve done a poo”
Stephen: “Yes I can smell”
etc etc etc, until she is dressed for the day and then I get my lazy butt out of bed. Then I generally make her a babycino while I make a coffee for me and a tea for Stephen. Then daddy is gone and we wait for either a taxi or our friend who borrows our car and drops us off at child care on the way to his work. Our friend came this morning and we got to child care as per usual, had a quick chat to staff, left and then………..what? Now what? It was weird!!! But kinda cool. I decided to go and do something I hadn’t done alone in ages – went and had breakfast and read the paper in a local cafe. Aaaahhhh now this is the life 🙂
Then I went home via the local chemist to pick up a few supplies, then came across a place that did massage. Thought I’d just inquire, but five minutes later I found myself having a 60 minute hot stone essential oil massage! Woohoo! Of course, I had to have “the talk” – I think I made the masseuse (or is it masseur, it was a female) a bit uncomfortable, but I thought it was important as it will be two weeks tomorrow since my last seizure so I’m just waiting for one to happen any minute. But nothing still! (touch wood touch wood!!).
So after the massage that was great but too short, I wandered home via a few places that Lilly and I used to visit when we walked to child care, then got home and did a bit of exciting housework. Then eventually back to pick her up- another lovely walk through the park.
Then life back to normal. A pretty good first day as a non-worker I think. I am going to try and keep busy because being alone and having a seizure, there is never a 100% guarantee that I have actually had one. I don’t like doing it to people, but they are handy in that they can tell me if I’ve had one or not!

Congratulations on surviving your first day – sounds pretty fabulous :). You know I’m practically around the corner and always looking for coffee/lunch dates on ‘work’ days so give me a shout if you fancy meeting up!
