Take things day by day. We're only human. I'm sure the caregivers you visit have their stressed out moments and are heartened by your support.

Thanks for explaining "joint." I guess pilferage at stores/shops is a growing problem on both sides of the pond. Lately, crime seems to just get worse and worse. I noticed yesterday that a security guard at Walmart was wearing a bullet-proof vest. Last week, it chilled me to see that a Walmart guard near the entrance had a handgun on his hip.
