Something’s not right

Winter solstice

Winter solstice

Longest night of the year and the darkness and coldness have really hit. Things seem really bleak. I've been struggling for a long time and was pacing myself to this point but can't see beyond it. I'm safe but despairing. I'm trapped in a vortex of family dysfunction from earliest years and emotional pain, received and (mea culpa) inflicted. I can't help my closest sibling - all others are estranged - and I don't seem able to extricate myself from personal difficulties and dilemmas that at present ďefine me - I have no connections or other identity. I've lost faith in my mh team.

I guess the sun will rise tomorrow, and I'll keep taking one day at a time, but I can't envision a future, my future.

Re: Winter solstice

Hahaha @Shaz51 imagine though! New conspiracy theory just dropped:

Is Shaz secretly an owl?! Signs:

Eats mice

Very wise

Very cute

Cares for all in her nest

Can spot a person in need on forums from miles away - indicates big field of vision, thus she must be able to turn head 180 degrees.... 🦉

Okay, I've had my fun with this now, y'know if you wanted to have like a normal conversation or something 😅

Honestly I think it would suit you @Shaz51!! I found this and thought it was super pretty too!!

(You don't have to use it or even change your pic if you don't want to, I just got lost in google images and wanted to share 😁)

Oh noooo @Shaz51 where are you running into hiccups? I will try to help if I can! Hmm I wonder if I could change it myself?

Evening @Jynx @Shaz51 @Dimity @tyme @NatureLover and everyone else

has been a cold, wet, dismissal day here weather wise.

after a late start I decided to start working on a job I’ve had on my to do list.

has been a slow day production wise but have started adding extra blockout to my blockout drapes.

that will leave just one window without any drapes. Window is near the ceiling, above my 3m wide sliding glass doors

Dinner then going to be getting comfy on the couch under light weight blanket with my 2 4-legged hot water bottles. lol. Favourite time for the 3 of us. 🐱

Re: Winter solstice

Well done @Former-Member . And the blockout lining should insulate well too. I needcto replace my drapes.

I love owl pictures @Shaz51 @Jynx - I don't think I've ever seen one irl. Minerva the goddess of wisdom is pictured as an owl.

All done ✔️ @Jynx 😁
