I can’t cope

Hey @Captain24

You are not any of those things. Did you want to chat? What's happening for you?

I'm here if you need

I’m all of those @amber22

I need to go and clean up the garden beds and do the lawn. But instead I had a sleep and now it’s too late as the neighbours are all out there.

I haven’t done anything today.

I also just went and bought a packet of smokes after not having one since last night. That was stupid. The GP did say it could take a month to stop with these tablets though.

Anyway… how are you?

That's totally fine - I think your body might have needed the rest today! You can definitely do your gardening another time, sleep is good and should be prioritised!

I am doing okay thank you, it feels weird that it is the new year already!

What are your plans for this afternoon/ evening? @Captain24

Did you have a good new year and Christmas? @amber22.

Im glad to see the back of 2023! But who knows what this year will bring. We keep saying it has to be better but the last couple of years it seems to get worse.

I’ve just done some Lego so I might finish that off. I also need to do some ironing. As long as I get my work clothes done that’s what’s important.

Im hoping it rains so I don’t have to take the dogs for a walk with mum and dad. I just don’t feel like facing them. Or anyone to be honest. I’ve pretty much become trapped and isolated within my house.

Do you have any plans for tonight?

Yes I did thank you! Did you? @Captain24 How is the new puppy going??

I totally agree, it's really nice to have a bit of a fresh start with everything, but we don't have to focus on the whole year just yet, maybe if we look at it as just one day at a time it will be more helpful

Lego sounds so fun! What are you building at the moment?

That's totally okay to want to isolate yourself for now, but maybe see how you go, a walk might be hard to start but you might end up enjoying it later on if it doesn't rain.

No I don't have much planned for tonight, probably just a very relaxed one. What about you? Anything other than your walk planned? @Captain24

I did @amber22. It was very quiet and new years I was at work but once it struck midnight I was on triple time, so that was good.

Yeah.. just focus on each day as it comes. To me it’s just another day but we now write 24 instead of 23.

It’s coming over pretty dark. So hopefully we will get some rain. We do need it though. The spiders are out and the flies are out of control so it must be close by.

The isolating is become more and more. I think it’s nearly at the point of being a problem. I guess that’s something to talk to my psych about next week.

Lego is fun. I just posted it on the Lego page. I’ve got 4 more big ones to do and 2 more little ones on the way. I really need to get stuck into some diamond art though. Maybe I’ll do some later. It’s one of Angel. Mums dog that passed away this year.

Jett is going well. Except for toilet training. He just doesn’t get it! I’m going to start trying him with basic commands, such as sit, stay, come. He is going to puppy preschool in a couple of weeks though. But if I start that will help as he is easily distracted. Him and Pix are sort of getting along. They laid together to go to sleep yesterday. But mostly Pix just growls at him. I think she will be fine once her leg heals more and he learns when enough is enough.

Triple time is so good!! @Captain24

Yes exactly, one day at a time and one step at a time! I feel like there is so much pressure with the new year and it definitely does not have to be that way at all.

It is getting pretty dark where I am too, I think it might rain here as well.

Your lego that you did looks awesome! I think it's such a good idea to pass the time, it would be nice to do while listening to some music. That is so sweet that you have one of Angel

Aww Jett sounds so cute!! You will have to post more photos when you get the chance, he is the cutest little thing. I hope Pix and him start to get along! Proper siblings!

I’m sitting here doing Angels diamond art now. @amber22. It’s taking me a while but as it goes on there is some quite easy parts. I want to get it done so I can give it to mum.

That Lego was different to the ones I normally do. There is another painting that you can get so now I want that too but it’ll have to wait. I have a holiday and car rego to pay for first.

Do you have any hobbies?

Aww those pictures are so cute!! They are just the sweetest little things @Captain24

The diamond art sounds amazing, I'm so glad you're doing it.

I actually do love going on walks, I try and do one every day and I listen to a podcast or music as I do it. I also really like to read 🙂

They are sweet when the are asleep @amber22. It’s cute when he is annoying Pix to much and she puts her front paw on him and pins him down!

It’s good you go for daily walks. I might try and go in the morning. I’m suppose to be walking a couple of times a day for rehab.

What kind of books do you like to read?

I did finish it @tyme but it won’t accept the photo it keeps saying the file is too large and the option to shrink it has gone. So I don’t know how to do it.
