Hi @creative_writer
All good
I am signing out soon and may be on later
Have a great meal and try and relax
As @tyme said in a recent post.
Be Grateful for the good things.
I say even one good thing.
We joked a bit. Focus on Mopping and Mission Impossible.
Be grateful for any relief you get.

Hi @creative_writer
I have had a lot to do with bad people so the theft is not the end of the world. Replacement about $600 - $700. But l have spare ones.
I will not let that ruin my day.
Neighbour had car pinched. We have to get on with life.
And yes, study when you can. Tomorrow is a great plan

Hi @creative_writer
I agree. Theft is bad. But it happened. I am lookjng on Gumtree to see if someone is selling them.
But life goes on.
I know from our chats a bit of your history.
Culture, family etc.
I just wish you could write down what happened prior to you being anxious. Work out the trigger.
Life is not smooth for many. But once we identify the trigger, we can approach that situation prepared. Prepared for me is there is a danger, afterwards l relax and move on.
What are you up to tomorrow?
House duties?
