Something’s not right

Help. Please.

Help. Please.

Anyone else cracking open a bottle at 3 in the afternoon? Feeling shitty. I don't even know why really, just been feeling shitty alot lately. I shouldn't have started drinking, just one I tell myself, just one because I have to function tonight when my boy comes over... i just want to go to drink and pass out. Anyone around?

Very glad and relieved to hear it @Anastasia hope tomorrow is another great day for both of you. Hopefully now that he's home you'll be able to rest easier. Goodnight 🤗

Thank you @saltandpepper

Are you ok?

Is your Little man sleeping soundly?

In response to: Re: Help. Please.

Re: Help. Please.

Yeah all ok here thanks @Anastasia

Yeah he goes off to bed without too much fuss, he's a good boy. He's been waking up crazy early lately so he bombs out pretty much as soon as his head hits the pillow

Hello @saltandpepper

I think today your little man goes back to his Mum's so checking you are ok?👍👀🤞

My "big" man is home and already kicked his goal to get out of bed at 9, read the paper, and he's just left to visit my parents #winning ✔🎉:ok_hand:

I am very concerned for my Dad who has cancer. He had his covid shot yesterday as Dr advised to and now he is extremely sick with flu like symptoms, bedridden and an hour's sleep last night.

I don't pray but I am right now!

Gosh life, it's such a pendulum isn't it?

Did you get your customs issue sorted? It's Friday, do you have plans for the weekend?

@saltandpepper

I just love reading about your games with your son.

Reminds me of the more idyllic times with my brother.

@Anastasia

Hope your father recovers from jab. The stuff about some docs! Say no more! I am managing my son again totally without support. His therapist has gone AWOL. I told him this morning his jobs were putting out recycles and dinner. He said "Great". Gathered up armfuls of cardboard and did it. Not normally so enthusiastic, but I am not complaining! I know he loves doing our version of hotdogs ... gourmet style.

Oh @Appleblossom

Thank you - sitting on the edge of the seat. Mum has promised she will keep me in the loop. She's ok thank God so at least it's not both of them. I'm scared for Dad.

I am so sorry your son's therapist has gone awol, I really have no words! What's with that?!

You are amazing managing your son without support. Bl00dy hard is an understatement!

How good is he helping out, gotta take the wins! Dinner sounds good, Friday nights should be an easy dinner and even better that your's will be cooked for you...enjoy Apple and keep taking care.

Here if you need to chat xox

@Anastasia Sorry to hear about your dad, add that doctor to the list of people I need to slap. I hope he pulls through.

Sounds like things are going really well atm with your son, I'm so pleased for you. Hope he continues to go from strength to strength.

Yeah early morning drop off this morning. It's hard. I have so much work I need to get on to, but when I came home I just went to bed instead and still lying here now. Having the argument in my head about wanting to drink but knowing it doesn't help so shouldn't. Bit down today I guess.

And yes thank fu*k everything got sorted re customs drama yesterday and no additional cost which is even better

Thanks for checking in @Anastasia

Oh @saltandpepper

I had a feeling things were not going well for you today, I am sorry. I know how difficult changeover days are. 20 years down the track and it still pulls on my heart. Hanging out with you if you need a chat 🙂

I know the urge re drinking, but as you already know it just makes things worse, so well done you for not succumbing. You've got this S&P, even if it doesn't feel like it right now.

Hey, just a thought...Want to make a start on your work, we can work together as I am struggling with my work today too?

Can I ask how many items HAVE to be touched today?

I have 2 MUST do's - 1 massive in that it has a deadline that is creeping up. The other is just an admin job so it's tidy for all involved. I figure if I do those the rest can wait.

What about you?

Here for you buddy *virtual hugs in abundance

In response to: Re: Help. Please.

Re: Help. Please.

Admin job done - now the massive task *sigh - telling myself I've got this 🙂

Made some space for you as my workspace looks like a tornado has hit!!!

Re: Help. Please.

@Anastasia So it's still going to be this shit in 20 years hey? Uh life, you cruel untameable wench.

Well it's still early @Anastasia and in all honesty despite the inner debate going on I know I'm going to stop at the bottle shop after therapy today.

Yeah I should get on to it. Picked up a new account this week which is good timing after losing my biggest acccount recently. Not doing stuff is why I lost the account so I should stop shooting myself in the foot here. And I know all that. And yet I'm still lying in bed. I just don't think I can manage to get things done today @Anastasia but don't let that stop you from ticking off your list there. You're doing incredibly well managing everything, I could learn a thing or two from you I suspect
