I can’t cope

Hi @tyme. How are you? When do your niece and nephew go back to school?

No worries, @Captain24

Ah, thanks for clarifying!

And gosh, your little long-haired chihuahuas sound so precious! My parents have a long-haired Chihuahua named Mishka! They are the sweetest little dogs!

40 and fabulous 🙂 Do you like your job?

Thank you so much for sharing your diagnoses also! I have experience with social anxiety (similar to social phobia), so I feel for you there!

Oh, that sounds like a lovely family holiday! Little Jett can have their first taste of the ocean! And your Mum's dog also! You will have to tell us all about your adventures!

I'm signing off for tonight, but @Jynx should be around!

It was so lovely to meet you! Thank you for taking on some of my suggestions tonight! I look forward to connecting with you again soon 🙂

The ocean @Captain24 ... I'm envious. I wrote elsewhere but when I lived near the beach I would go snorkeling every day. Just the water and waves are so relaxing. When I was bad I would walk to the ocean in the dark and stay there until the sun came up.

As for the pizzas... well I have gone sorta vegan 😅 But it turns out I really like them more without cheese. Maybe a bit lactose intolerant 🤔 but either way a bit of olive oil and salt and they are amazing.

Sorry to ramble in your thread apparently I can't help myself. What is your go to for music Captain?

@Acanthiza - Interesting pizza 🙂 I'm not much for a pizza fan, but maybe I'll like yours 🙂 Did you make it yourself?

@Captain24 - how're your babies going? Did you go for a walk with them today?

I would love to live near the beach @Acanthiza. It would be an awesome lifestyle.

I’ll have to take your word for it. I could never go vegan.

Ramble away… you are always welcome. I enjoy reading them.

@Captain24 - Phew! The kids were back to school as of Tuesday... such a relief! They both have good teachers this year which will hopefully make a huge difference to whether they like/dislike school. I niece really didn't like school last year and I believe it was the teacher.... well, that teacher never got her job back.

At least they have some normality now. After being away for so long, they really needed routine.

I'm just thinking about all the kids/families around Australia who must struggle when there is such a long break. Even thinking foodwise. When they are at home, they eat so much more than at school!

Anyway... enough of me... what about you?

Nah @tyme. I haven’t walked them. Maybe I should. I don’t have the pram for Jett though. Maybe i could walk him around the block. It should be parvo safe.

They are starting to get along! I saw Jett and kieko together the other day. They are wild together! They are going to grow up as best of friends.

Hey @tyme.

You must be relieved that they are back at school. At least you can now have some time alone. It’s been a really long few weeks for you. Especially with all of them.

Im glad that they have good teachers. It does make a huge difference. Maybe your niece may settle down a little this year. School stress does all sorts of things.

Bit of a nothing day today. Mostly been in bed. Just watching some tv. Hoping it distracts me for a while. Chatting on here is good too.

@tymeyep made the pizzas myself, though I didn't make the base, which I should've since I like doing it!

@Captain24living near the beach is incredible, but unfortunately I was also having a terrible time when I was there (three seperate times and places, but always having a bad time I guess)

Blows me away when people live near the coast and don't appreciate it... absolutely wild.

As for going vegan... it sort of just happened. I also never thought I would give up meat, I worked on a sheep and cattle farm even and loved being actually involved in the process! Life is mysterious and I pretty much became vego since I got sick of cleaning after cooking and meat going off. A can of beans lasts forever.

I don't preach or judge or anything though! It just purely worked out for me. I missed you saying you have chihuahuas! My brother has one, very funny dog. Chances are my cats are bigger than your puppers!

I know ay... @Acanthiza I hear so many people say that they live on the coast but don’t like water. We have a lot of tourists come through our town. Some of them come from the coast and say it’s much nicer out here. It stuns me.

I don’t each much meat but it’s for different reasons.

Im a big believer of each to their own. Everyone is different and have different tastes and different opinions.
