I can’t cope

I hope she stays well @Captain24 . Fingers crossed.

What's happening for you tonight?

I’m tired after my morning and drained after lunch @tyme. Plus I’m annoyed at myself for not finishing everything.

Maybe you have the right to be tired? I'm sure you were stressed last night with Pix being unwell. Did you get any sleep?

As for getting everything done, will you ever get everything done? @Captain24

Please be gentle with yourself.

To be honest, I didn't get anything ticked off my sticky note today 😞

But I know tomorrow, the sticky notes will still be there, plus a few additional ones!

It was a rough sleep. I woke up every time she moved @tyme

Somedays I get my entire list done. I’m dreading tomorrow though. I don’t want to wake up.

Im gentle with myself when I’m happy with everything I’ve done. But I feel that’s the only time I should be.

Thats ok. You have other stuff to do as well and work. Plus the kids. So there is a variety of factors.

I think there's pros and cons to that. I think I've said before that I'm kind of that way in a lot of things in that I'm not happy until I've completed everything I need to for the day. Also, I tend not to stop until I'm completely done which is also a bad thing because I'm run off my feet.

I'm guessing that really, there needs to be a balance in life. I need to learn that.

So what's on your agenda for tomorrow?

How was lunch out? @Captain24

Once things change then I fail. If I stop or have a break I fail. @tyme

Tomorrow I want to move the washing machine and dryer and clean behind them. I want to clean the floor of my walk in and I need to learn how to use my whipper snipper and do the front yard and mow it. Plus nana husband is coming around to drop off the sewing table

Lunch was good.

did you go for your coffee

When I used to do the lawn, I never felt 'clean' and 'fresh' until I used the whipper snipper around the edges @Captain24 . Hope the whipper snipper is well behaved for you!

Yeah, I went to the botanical gardens and it was just so lovely. I had a toasted chicken schnitzel sadnwhich and a coffee. It was my brunch. Then late in the arvo, I was craving a macca's hot apple pic, so I got two! I felt sick after eating them. I really shouldn't have them, but...oh well.

Sewing table??? You sew? My mother used to sew so I cringe when I see a sewing machine. It reminds me of all the stuff mum used to make for us. My older sister sews. She makes EVERYTHING including my niece and nephew's swim suits. I seriously don't know where she finds the time or energy.

Isn't your nana's husband the old one that you recently helped @Captain24 ?

I have to wrap up now, unfortunately. I'll be on earlier tomorrow so I'll msg as soon as I'm able.

I don’t even know how to turn it on and I haven’t charged the battery @tyme

That sounds so nice and peaceful. Good self care.

Yeah.. the old one. When he drops it off it’ll mean I own 4 sewing machines! I can sew. I use to make costumes including unitards. Give me a pattern and I can make anything. A lot of the costumes didn’t have patterns so I had to draw them and in different sizes.

Mum use to make my swimmers.

Have a good night. Just tag

me when you’re not busy. If you don’t have time I understand. I’m not overly worth bothering with

hey @Captain24 how's your friday going?

i'm not on forums for long today, but wanted to pop in and say hi.

sounds like yesterday's lunch went well, and how's the laundry go? did you manage to get a nap in?

i did fall off a bit on my sleep hygiene but i'm working on getting back on track. yesterday i was in bed by 10pm but didn't manage to knock off till after 1am 🙃 but i think that was also to do with the fact that my leg and hips randomly started hurting so i was tossing around a lot more.

with the phone call, i decided to just leave it. they haven't called/left voicemails again so i'm guessing they figured it was a wrong number.

Hey @rav3n

I moved the washing machine and dryer and clean behind them and so now the laundry is clean. I did that this morning though so I beat myself up yesterday for not doing it. I did have a lay down after lunch but I didn’t sleep.

Im trying to whipper snipper my front yard so I can mow. Having a fight with the cord though! I think I var it sorted now but I have to give the dogs some lunch and then try again. I’m hoping that because I have to stop that I can still find my way back out there.

My nans 94 year old husband dropped off the sewing table and wanted to do my front lawn for me! He does his own lawn and gardening.

I hate when body parts start to hurt. I have trouble with my hips but I’m getting old. One hip aches in the rain and the other aches when I’m getting my period. I get up and take pain relief and it usually helps me nod off.

1 am is late. Hopefully tonight is better. If I don’t follow my sleep hygiene I don’t sleep well. So I have to do it so that I don’t end up manic due to lack of sleep.

That’s good that they didn’t call again. I guess when they got no response they figured it out or if it was a scam then they knew they couldn’t get you.
