You’ll never guess what today’s wild agenda included…
No, not cocktails or Boxing Day sales — welcome to “Maya’s Luxury Wellness Retreat”:
Today’s programme featured (but what else would it be?) :
• Full-body moisturising
• Massage
• Range-of-movement exercises
• Ambient spa music (huge thanks to Grandad Mike for the JBL speaker — vibes matter)
Honestly, if TripAdvisor reviewed hospital rooms, we’d be pushing five stars.
Then came UNO with Daddy.
Winner? Maya. Obviously.
Terry just sat there pretending he had a chance.
AND THEN… the main event 🍮
Maya ate a whole pot of custard.
Yes.
A whole pot.
SALT (Speech and Language Therapy) guidance says “a couple of spoonfuls of soup or purée” once it’s officially documented.
Unfortunately, Speech & Language Team doesn’t return until January… so Terry went full custard outlaw. Ooops!
It was meant to be “just a taste”.
But Maya had other plans.
She kept opening her mouth.
Asking for more.
Demanding more.
Running the show.
Terry, clearly emotional and forgetting all sense of proportion, fed his not-so-little girl the lot.
Result? Slight stomach cramps from too much, too soon. Oops.
Cue the night nurse sensibly skipping the 10pm feed — just in case custard decided to make a dramatic reappearance.
Right now?
Maya is fast asleep.
Relaxed.
Chilled.
Post full bed bath, massage to all four limbs, plus head and neck.
On top of all that, our dear friend Jo came to visit.
It gave me and Terry the much-needed break away from the hospital. Seriously, a little fresh air and adult chat felt like a luxury spa in itself.
Meanwhile…
I’m sitting here thinking:
Excuse me? Where is my massage?
Spa Day for Maya ✔️
Custard scandal ✔️
UNO rivalry ✔️
Adulting & fresh air ✔️
Me being absolutely knackered ❌
Tomorrow I’m booking myself into Maya’s Wellness Retreat. I deserve at least a foot rub 😌💆♀️
