Happy Christmas to you all

only ok? Sorry @Shaz51 @when I hear ok I automatically assume that means bad. In face to face convos I find that when people say they are “ok” they actually mean they are bottling things in and are not doing ok at all.

just checking you are actually ok?

I hope think a lot of people are glad the day is over. For a so called “Holliday” Christmas sure is stressful and emotionally stressful.

Thank you and you too- my sister @Appleblossom What have you been up to?

Doing things with my son a bit @oceangirl still exercise garden and music ... have a trip planned for January that I am looking forward to.

How are you?

Glad you had a good time in Tassie @MDT I was down there in April/ May this year. I'm working tomorrow and weekend.

It sounds like you are in a good place @Appleblossom Hope you enjoy your trip in January. I have been working the last 6 months- it's been good but there has been challenges too.

work culture usually has challenges @oceangirl just dont take them all personally.

In some ways things are good but have a lot of chronic pain, so a bit antsy, not ready to go on longterm pain meds yet.

Hugs back at you, @Shaz51. Good to read that you had a decent xmas. Me too, but a quiet one here. Hope you're doing alright. We're in a heatwave at the moment after a prolonged cold stretch. Melbourne!! But I guess these things happen everywhere.

You didn't go to see the Sydney-Hobart Yacht race, @MDT ? I've never been to Tassie. My xmas was fine, hope yours was too. I exchanged gifts with a neighbour and then immersed myself in study in preparation for course recommencement in another week or so. I hope your job is going well.
