I find i can sort of tune out the repetitive questions and answer while my mind is on something else. It helps that there is usually just one question of the day.

My hubby is now in a phase where he calls friends repeatedly. I have texted to let them know what's going on and they are really understanding. They answer if they have time to talk or call when they're free.
I'm really grateful for these great friends. One of the bright spots on these grey days.
