Feeling fed up.

A trait of autism I've been blessed with is hypermobility in my joints and I get injured often. This time I've torn my ligaments around my knee and can't walk. At the start of half term with 3 kids. Joy.

My car failed its mot on Monday and cost me 3 x the amount I'd accounted for so well into an overdraft I cant afford with no way of getting the kids out in the holidays is giving me anxiety. I really could do with not having to be up and down cooking and the ability to order the kids' food would be a god send but it's just not an option.

Exercise is my therapy and medicine but I can't do that and today is the last day of sun we're supposed to be getting 😪. Honestly it doesn't just rain does it?

😡
