Small Victories.
Well, surprise surprise (no, really) the updating our Motability car appointment went brilliantly thanks in no small part to the salesman/rep from the garage we ended up having to go to.
No pressure to update to super-alloy racing wheels, no go-faster stripes chat and no pushiness - he listened to what we wanted, didn't judge me for my lack of car knowledge/interest and basically made the whole process really easy and painless.
And he didn't get annoyed once when Cassidy insisted he keep his glasses on.
Fantastic!
And even better it now gives those folk on the interweb who hate the thought of disabled people being allowed cars another reason to hate us.
Marvelous.
As you can understand we're actually quite pleased - and a wee bit amazed if I'm honest - that something has actually gone right for once which means we've finally been able to cross something off the 'needs doing' list so it feels like we should be celebrating with a wee drink or two.
Which would be nice if we weren't absolutely knackered.
I'm gonna be brutally honest and say the escorting the girls to and from college every day whilst keeping Cass busy/educated and trying to do real-life stuff at the same time is starting to take effect.
Fingers crossed we manage to make it to the end of term (5 weeks and counting) without collapsing.
Or maybe, just maybe the support we've been promised for the last 20 years might finally materialize.
Stranger things have happened.
