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.

Mr Buddha and I are down South for 4 days.I heard from someone who lives on my units yesterday and wrote to my son while he is at my unit.
It's to not be too involved with people's problems. My son went to take care of our home and on Saturday, he went to visit one of my neighbours and supported someone through a very difficult phonecall from his children.
I wrote him a text last night and said ' Dont get too involved with other people's problems. Feel like a space around you when you ar talking to them and feel yourself standing strong. But congrats for holding yourself well in a difficult situation.
I don't know if this has any little nuggets of interest in there for you @CheerBear.....I barely remember what it's like to have children in school .......the glory of having adult children is that you forget all the bad times ...lol

Lol for the driving in pjs @CheerBear. I didn’t discover that one until one of mine was much older but I have been extremely blessed with my kids and schools. They lived one house down to their first school, about 8 houses down for their second and the school bus picked them up from 3 houses down for the last part. It was about 9 months I had to drive youngest and then I sometimes did the driving in pjs and it was an hour and half round return (90 km) 😲☺️. And some mornings to work until he got his car and license.
Really glad youve got some self care stuff happening. I’m going to go start my day I think 🤔😳.
Edited - feeling insecure about my joke, written with endearment but feels judgey seeing it on paper. Was just mucking around but it’s so much easier in real life to work out if someone took it in the context it was meant. I hope it didn’t hurt. I really was just trying to make light of it all for a bit. Will crawl back in my hole now 😳🤦♀️

I’m ok @PeppiPatty. Not great, not bad. Oh my goodness I think I must be in the grey part, not one extreme or the other 😄. Have started slowly decluttering and tidying up my house which was NOT good and had been neglected. It feels like a step in the right direction.
Yes the NDIA seems to have got it sooooo wrong on so many occasions.
Wishing you the best for today. 💜🤗
