Just checking in.

I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

Re: Just checking in.

Hey @Former-Member. I'm doing a bit better today although still having wobbly bits, just had a small breakdown again but ok. @Appleblossom is doing it tough (the worry room and approaching sure threads)

how are you doing? What's been happening for you today?

Re: Just checking in.

Thanks @Former-Member

It is wonderful to rekindle an interest - there are times when our lives become overwhelming at times and if we do not have a good view of the sky then it is hard to see some things - and even so - I knew Mars would be close to the moon last night and the sky was clear - I went out and saw Venus easily and of course the moon - but for whatever reason I didn't go out again - but there we are

I have been watching the proximity of Saturn and Antares for over a year - I watched Saturn catch up with Scorpio and they we together with Mars when I was in Canberra last year. The sky is very clear there - and my hotel room had a balcony - talk about the luck of the Irish - and now both are rising in the early morning but I haven't seen them yet - I got up early enough this morning but it was cloudy - this can be annoying - I live near Port Phillip Bay and on a restless night I will find it will be clear but toward dawn with have what we call the 5.00am shivers - a breeze will spring up off the Bay and hide the rishing planets etc - and this time of year the sun is rising later but still - we have to get up early to see the sky

But then - we can always go back to bed - I am not anxious to start my days earlier than the sun any more - at least - not in summer - not if I don't have to catch a plane - not because I have a job -

Yes - I am upset about green house gas emmissions - I don't drive but I don't feel "holier than anyone" about this - my unit tends to be cold and I run the reverse cycle A/C all the time during winter - I turned it off when I went to Canberra - 4 nights away - and got home and found a cat who realised I had been away and the house was like a crypt - freezing - and the cold weather doesn't make me a happy person so I keep my heater on low all the time to keep the chill off

But those lights over the city - that is unnecessary - everyone has to be BIGGER and BRIGHTER and BETTER

I will look up my book and when I see something that is easy to see in the sky I will let you know -

hi @utopia and @Faith-and-Hope and @Bimby2

Thank you,

I LOVE the colour green. I've got a picture going here at the mo. But already, I want to use the colours I've been playing with on Sane Forums in another picture and one of them is green but I cannot seem to find the right colour green to use.

The picture that I'm doing is very exciting for me. I have no idea......it's a waste of money and time for me but there you go. This morning, I'm running off to clean someone's home for some dinner, she is an amazing cook and my youngest son is going to see a Gp with me and husband today and we can have it for dinner, dahl and rice ( yummy)

These are the colours I like but not in this way, more in ....shading ways, like all the greens together and all the purples together .....

@Faith-and-Hope @utopia @TAB @Former-Member @NikNik @Shaz51 @Former-Member @PeppiPatty @Appleblossom and everyone I haven't mentioned.
It's a wet old day so I've driven to Grafton to tempt myself with all these amazing sales. It's unlikely I'll buy anything but I can dream.
Have a great day!
Hugzzz 💕 🎶

Re: Just checking in.

How's the pup going @Kurra? I hope you have a good day. PS my ex MIL lives in Maryborough and have been there a few times and had to drive through Gympie to get there. I think both towns have pluses and minuses.

@PeppiPatty That picture is intriguing. Is it a piece of fabric or a painting?

Re: Just checking in.

I slept overnight in showgrounds one of those towns on way to Shoalwater Bay in 1981 lol @Former-Member

Re: Just checking in.

You would have been a youngn then @TAB. I was still in school well and truly then. My youngest was born in a hospital not too far from one of them. Think I was a tad older 😜

In response to: Re: Just checking in.

Re: Just checking in.

I am ok. @Former-MemberThanks for caring. @Kurra & @Former-Member I Dont want to worry anybody.

My son was not trying to hurt me but was acknowledging how much he has been hurt, without histrionics, anger or exaggeration. I feel so proud of him, so many young people his age are not so considerate of their parents, but it is so sad. It is stuff I do have to process. While in 'be optimistic look for solutions' mode I am distracted from actually taking this in.

His exuberance the night before put out my neck a bit, but it is also beautiful seeing him in an animated and confident mood. He is just Huge fellow so it is a lot of energy.

From Friday I will be travelling. I may be able to check in while away but i doubt it will be often. I have had the means but know I wont because it is too important to get my son through our upcoming opera gig.
