1999: Resistive to going to Edons. Mum tried to brighten the day by reminding me I had playschool this morning. I responded with “not play school again mummy”. That stumped her. Anyway, I had a lovely day and made a collage and painting. Was very tired this afternoon though – frustration city. By the time mum got me in the car I was sobbing (well I tried the evil glare first but that just didn’t seem to work). I was all right by the time we got home though and had a “little” play in the garden, ate wiggly worms (more boringly known as ‘noodles’) and went to sleep.
2019: Today I have applied for my Blue Badge for parking for a hidden disability. Just waiting for the glares I get for “running” to the disabled loo and walking out with a look of relief. But anyone following after my Crohn’s poo may well change their mind!
