Just checking in.

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.

I hope all is still going ok @CheerBear. Guessing it’s a bit dark and possibly mozzie territory under your lemon tree currently. I think perhaps we would have had a laugh too. I’d like to think so. You know I have a loud (supposedly infectious) laugh. Your neighbours would have known I was around 😜😊. I think I would have annoyed and badgered you about all the beautiful plants in your garden. I hope that I would have been able to sit through the tears too.... you know I would have joined you too, I suffer from contagious crying, once someone starts I always start crying too. 😳.

I know now you’ll be on a huge roller coaster this week, my expertise is in roller coasters so I’m ok to ride it with you. Hoping tonight is ok. About to take dog walking. It’s been a horrid windy hot day here but the change has come in with a bit of rain so it’s nice now. Take care 💜🤗

Re: Just checking in.

Hey @Teej. Love that you have a contagious laugh 😊

Things are still OK thanks, in the way that I'm OK with being not totally OK. I've had some tears and am feeling a bit sad right now, but I think that's alright. It would be much easier to have it all happen quickly from here rather than this waiting until tomorrow night thing as I'm nervous and want to be past that part. I went into this knowing exactly what I was doing and what I could expect though so now I just have to trust the process.

I'm not at all proud of this situation but I am proud of how I've done the day today. The little crew have had a great day, I did the house stuff I needed to do, I asked for help (I dont do that easily) and smelly friend came to watch them so I could do groceries for the next few days on my own. I've kept things pretty under control today 🙂

Thanks for understanding the likelihood of a rollercoaster which I think is a fair chance too. I've got very little on until Thursday so I have allowed some time to move through this physically and emotionally.

I'm waiting for that rain! It's been a yuck weather day here too.

Hope dog and you enjoy your walk 🙂❤

Re: Just checking in.

Re: Just checking in.

Sorry frazzled brain @CheerBear reworded abit.

In response to: Re: Just checking in.

Re: Just checking in.

Ah got it thanks @outlander. My brain is frazzled also - we're a good pair tonight 😉 How are you going tonight?

In response to: Re: Just checking in.

Re: Just checking in.

Lol @CheerBear people here seem to do frazzled quite well!
Im okish just hanging around abit hoping the news im waiting for will be good otherwise is going to be quite hard to handle so am just having to sit with the uncertainty tonight or until i hear back.
Crochetting is helping with that thankfully.

How did your gingerbread house go? Did you get your tree decorated in your chosen theme- think you said nightmare before xmas?

In response to: Re: Just checking in.

Re: Just checking in.

That shouls be Gingerbread house decorating :face_with_rolling_eyes:

Re: Just checking in.

Waiting for news is hard @outlander. I want to ask whether everything is OK but I'm guessing that depends on the news? Any idea how long you'll have to sit with the waiting?

The houses went well thanks. They made such a big mess! I let them go with way too much icing, lollies, melted chocolate etc and they went bonkers with them. They loved it 🙂

Missed decorating the tree in the nightmare before christmas theme as I was caught up with this pickle which put a stop to all kinds of stuff I wanted to do.

In response to: Re: Just checking in.

Re: Just checking in.

Everything will be ok @CheerBear but if the news is the harder answer then ill need to work through that first. Its hard having the answer lying within just that one response. You know how everyone has their wish in life? This one been mine for about 7 yrs and its sitting right in front of me with its fate lying in one response but its one of those complicated topics to explain if that makes sense. I should here back from them within a few days or they may choose to completely ignore it as well so its a tricky spot right now.


Ooh gosh it sounds like alot of mess but so much fun too!:face_with_rolling_eyes: I might do that on one of the days ive got the kids but they can do it outside. Thats ok about the tree, the theme isnt all that important really. 💜
