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?

G'day @Emelia8 its been raining a lot here too. Flood warnings are starting to roll on through. Good time to stay inside hey? How'd you and holly get on last night?
yeah not the best night, not the worst either. Bit over feeling sick all the time though. and just feeling like i wanna cry all the time is getting old. Haven't had a graphic nightmare like that for a while. Where it feels like it's happening. And it hurts. Usually I wake up trying to karate chop things but I guess my arms being numb it didn't happen this time. Felt like I could hardly move when I woke up. Was awful. Might have to go have a shower soon so I can go and have a sook haha

Its ok. A nothing day. Diamond painting again. Hbu?

saltandpepperSenior Contributor
Yeah I reckon it would for sure @Anastasia 💙
Somewhere I Belong would be a contender for my favourite--that speaks to my soul
nothing days are fantastic. Unless you're outgoing, then it's probably not. Boy ok today?
well, my son is currently playing in a shipping carton full of packing peanuts. I'm taking the opportunity to sit down and have a coffee. The kid doesn't stop. 😴

I'm going to listen to it now @saltandpepper
Nup not particularly outgoing, an introvert so happy to be lying low 😊
Yeah he's okish, little bit "high" but think it's excitement round his tat tomorrow. He's hanging out with support worker so all quiet for now 😁
Its good to hear from you 🙏

🎵👍
well I guess maybe that's better than the alternative, is it? Nothing wrong with getting a little high 😎 jk. Kind of. But no I get what you're saying. I'm psyched he's hyped for it though, what a champ.
ah nice getting a little time to yourself then @Anastasia? Hows the other boy doing?
always good to chat to you too my friend 💙
