not feeling good

Hi @BlueBay

Sorry you are unable to get through on the SANE Help Centre chat line. I have just checked and apparently the centre is very short staffed with staff off ill this evening. If you are needing support are you able to access other possibilities?

take care

Hi @BlueBay

I'm here - I can chat

The sense of smell can bring back powerful memories - there's a chance that someone has been smoking near your house and it's strange but I have noticed that if someone does that it can leak inside our place - really sneaky that

And it would bring back powerful memories of your brother - who was so young to smoke - yes - I get it - I understand

The smell of fresh cigarette smoke bring good memories of my grandfather to me but stale tobacco smells - just plain stink - I don't get reminded of anything in particular but I remember being shocked that my husband would leave his ash trays over the house - phew - I hated it

I'm not surprised if you are triggered by it -

I ended up going to bed and cuddled up with my doona. I don’t kniw why it happened. So random but horrible.

Yeah he was young when he smoked prob 14.

It’s 6am and I can’t sleep. Was awake at 2am as well. My boys are in Bali and I think of them too.

Working today long day. Oh well can’t help it hopefully won’t be too quiet. But I’ve got stuff to do eg stock take and date checks of products. So many out of date stock.

Thanks for offer to chat last night. ❤️

Have a good day at work@BlueBay , take care of yourself. 🙂

You too @Gazza75 have a good day❤️

Thanks @BlueBay . Well done on your shopping the other today. It made me smile to hear about your walking making you feel better. I'm a bit of a wuss and normally wait for it to warm up a bit before I tackle it 🙂 Spring will be here before we know it.

You do get triggered @BlueBay - I know how a trigger can blast us - and an odour or scent can trigger people easily

And if that wasn't enough - your boys are overseas again - it's great that they are travelling - the time will come when they have other commitments - so be glad for them and think of your trip in October -

Wow - time does fly - it's time to book my trip to Cairns - really it is - I have been feeling flat this week - I have an idea that we are all bored with winter by this time of the year - going north is a great idea. I loved the warm weather on the Sunshine Coast last month - and the beach is fantastic there - you will have a good time

Take it easy at work today and clear the shelves of out-of-date stuff - it will give you the chance to put your head down and keep to yourself for most of the time

Life is tough for you and you are taking on more than you used to - this is the way we can tell you are improving - I guess that's how your doctor knows too - you wouldn't have been able to do all of this a few years back

All the best

On my lunch break @Owlunar just wanted to say hi. It’s so cold out there I’m glad I’m inside.

Finish at 5.30. Let’s hope dinner is organised. I do t want to go home and have to organise it. Between hubby and daughter I’m sure they can cook something. We’ll see.

Are you doing much tiday? Hope you’re inside. ❤️

Chat later. Xx

Hi @BlueBay

I am inside and my back is aching - I think I will go to bed with a good book and my wheat pack - the icy weather we have today is the cause I think

I have an idea about dinner tonight - give it some thought and plan something easy then text your D and Huffnpuff and say how wonderful it would be if they prepared that for dinner and then - let them know how grateful you will be - and finally - are

When you are working all day then you need someone else to cook - and I think your month of extra work is up on Saturday?

How are you feeling apart from the cold?

hello and hugs @BlueBay
