When the Weather Does Funny Things

Again, this is much later than I had hoped for to be writing my next post, but I'm going with the old cliche of better late than never! Seriously how do these cliches end up in our language and how long do they have to be around before we start thinking of them as old?!? The tunes I used to listen to as a teenager are now considered retro according to some music labels! Anyway I digress again....

The positive look is that time is moving quickly, but then this could be a bad thing as I've a few Christmas crafts I'd like to do before then and as its been over social media and on the TV there's not even 100 days before Christmas now and those of us who are crafters know how long even the smallest simplest things can take!
In line with that I've already started making Christmas stocking tree decorations! Now I've the debate of which charity I am going to donate to this year instead of sending Christmas cards out, plus anything that comes from the Christmas tree decorations.  I try to think of a charity with which I have previously supported through voluntary work over the years or one which is close to my heart, whilst not repeating them in consecutive years.

Now it is (slightly) cooler and the hotter days are behind us (or so we thought but apparently - if you believe the weather reports - there's a mini heatwave due to hit next week!), hopefully the Uhthoff's syndrome can behave itself for a few months, and give us a rest from the influences the weather has on the MS.  
Instead the mist/fog that surrounded us a few days ago decided it would be funny to behave like optic neuritis, when I get an eye (or both) that give the appearance of misting up and within a split second, clears, except it wasn't clearing up quickly.  My brain was baffled! It truly felt like I was having to work harder! 
Seriously if it isn't one season, its the other! But I did see (pun intended) the funny side to it, even if laughing to myself on the school run may not be socially appropriate, and could get the men in white coats involved!

This academic year has already led to so much more being available to my son after school with various clubs and groups - plus he's not as extremely tired as he was last year after school so can manage the extra activities without a major breakdown.  
What no one told me though, was this can hit you harder than them starting school! I was one of those Mum's who didn't cry when my child started school, and I reckon I took it in my stride without feeling too lost.
Starting the after school activities however, I suddenly feel lost!  All this extra time to do my crafts! Well maybe I should put a bit more time into my writing! 
There is also the role that has taken on more importance - the taxi driver - taking my son to all the different events and clubs and picking him up.  As long as the back seat driving isn't every single journey I will cope! Although he did tell Grandad the other day that he was driving too fast!
