Brisbane has been declared a disaster area due to the floods and extreme weather. We lost power at our house sometime last night. We've relocated to Nana and Grandad's house overnight bringing all the food in the fridge and freezer with us. I'm using Nana's clothes dryer to catch up on the washing. It's been so wet and humid nothing has been drying.
I've been feeling tired and anxious all day. The memory of the 2011 floods is still fresh. You were awake at 4am last night and I'm sure the rain and my mood is affecting your behaviour. Cabin fever has started to set in.
In the flurry of activity to pack up and drive to The Gap we left your sleepy time buddy Bluey behind. It's taken hours to convince you to go to bed with a substitute yellow rabbit I found in Nana's collection of toys. Stories, milk, lullabies, tears, explanations.
You've only ever slept without Bluey on three occasions. Tonight was not a good night to leave him at home. Weird weather, stressed mummy, sleeping away from home. It's not your usual bedtime routine. I'm sorry we overlooked your needs in the mess of adult stuff this afternoon.
