I can’t cope

It’s 25 degrees here but colder on the beach. I’m turning purple. @tyme

It’s funny how it’s so different. But I guess that Australia for you. It certainly has different climates!

No Keiko has no idea, just knows that she is in trouble. I really don’t like the way mum can turn on them. She did the same thing to us as kids. Dad was walking Jett today and kept his lead tight and wouldn’t let it go. He was chocking trying to get to the full length f the lead. I took it and walked both of them and pushed the pram. It was cool and we were walking down hill so I let Pix out for a bit. He stopped chocking and when I told him to wait for Pix he did. Just stop thinking of themselves and put the dogs first!

Are you finishing work early? I hope her mum takes her! That would be nice for her. The eldest?

Yeah it’s pix that doesn’t like him. That’s why he doesn’t want to come to the house. Pix barking is annoying and it scares his dog. Plus Keiko. Mum did ask me if it was ok that we did it at the house. I said it was easier I’ll just put Pix in a room. I do have one of those things where you press the button and it’s suppose to stop the dogs from barking so I will give that a go and see what happens. I don’t care if it upsets his dog. Don’t bring her!

@Captain24 i hear you sweet, I'm glad you have something warm to put on though.

I managed to wash my hair. That really took so much out of me though. How does such a simple task exhaust one so much.

Erghh....Pix has good taste??? lol

Poor Pix if you have to press that button thing. Does it let out an electrical pulse or a scent? @Captain24

Yes, I'm finishing early on weekends usually now. But that's okay, I'm still around.

So if you go out for dinner, does it mean the dogs stay home alone?

My sis just got home. My niece has gone to her friend's house - so no kmart for her 🙂

Do you generally feel the cold? I mean... your hands are purple?

She does! @tyme

It lets out that sound that only dogs can hear. So I’m hoping it works. If not I’ll just put her and Jett in my room and they can just sleep. They are exhausted anyway.

We don’t want to go out. If we go to a club or something the dogs will stay home if we go to the waterfront the dogs will come too.

That got you out of it!

I do feel the cold really badly! My skin is blotchy purple and all my scars are purple! (Not talking SH ones just general)

Im about to jump into a hot shower now!

What are your plans when you finish early?

I went back in and then I’ve just comeback and had a hot shower and have my tracksuit on! @MissGremlin

That is something to be proud of. My psych said to me when you are feeling really depressed you don’t have the energy for anything. The fact that you can do something is quite and achievement, It’s totally exhausting because you had no energy to start with. Now is the time to be gentle and look after yourself. You have just used energy that you didn’t have and that is ok. Allow yourself to know that you did it and it’s now ok to just relax and do nothing.

@Captain24 I'm glad you went back in and also that you've had a nice hot shower and are rugged up in your tracksuit.

Thankyou sweetheart ❤️. Unfortunately today is not a day that I can just sit and relax, there's so much that has to be done today despite the fact that I just don't have the energy to do anything.

You feel the cold! No wonder you love the 40+ degree days!!! I DREAD them! I'll be sitting in an air conditioned space the whole time!

Well let's see if hot flushes hit soon..... I reckon i'll hate them! @Captain24

Have you decided what you are doing tonight for dinner yet?

I don't know what I'm doing once I hop off. I want to finish a book called Klara and the Sun - it's about a girl with an illness so her parents want to train up an AF (aritifical friend) to learn the girl's behaviour, way of walking and thinking etc so the AF can replace the girl once she passes away from her illness. The backstory is they had already lso their first child to an illness and the parents never got her backk.... so they want to be able to replace the second child. It's a pretty strange book, but also makes you consider how scary it is that AI is taking over the world!

Yep.. I love them. I feel the cold really badly. It’s terrible @tyme I shiver and everything.

I’ve had the occasional night sweat but not actually hot flushed yet.

My brothers partner? Spent the day with her son and is now too sick to come for dinner so they are coming tomorrow night now. My brother said he didn’t want to do it at our house ‘ because of those f@cking dogs’ he said they are at home all the time and at his dog. Well don’t be such an arsehole and Pix wouldn’t do it. She settles when other people including males are around!

That book sounds.. ummm…. Interesting. It is a bit scary though.

do you have anh plans for the next few days?

Sorry @MissGremlin. I missed this.

I would have stayed for longer if I could have, the water had warmed up.

Im sorry you have so much to do. Can help you with it? Be an accountability buddy? Can you sit down and take a moment between different tasks?

Hahahah @Captain24 .... hrm.. well it's not his son, right? It's hers? Sorry, I don't buy that - he is tired... You've made the trip, not him! Oh well, maybe it'll save you some stress.

The book is actually for young adults. It's not scary, but makes you think.

You're like my niece... it's so hot and she's got a jumper on. When overseas, we had to carry a jumper for her all the time. I said I was going to share a room with all the 'hot' people and my sister would have the room with the 'cold' people....

My sister and niece are the 'cold' people...

But in the end, of course my niece stayed with me.

Our bodies are so strange.
