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.

Good morning @CheerBear @Teej @Mazarita and ll passing through this morning,
Slept okay but woke with a headache - probably a result of how tired I was after yesterday - but had pain meds and hoping it goes away quickly before I leave to shop with my Dad.
Hope everyone else has a good start to the weekend.

Good morning, @CheerBear, @Zoe7 and anyone around. 
It's solstice, the longest day of the year, a meaningful time for me. Wishing everyone something bright and special today.
I'm off again for now. Hi and hugs to anyone who likes them.

Yes I do @CheerBear Not needing to leave until about 8.30 so plenty of time. Hoping to avoid some of the traffic going so early and also hoping I am awake enough to get through the day. I actually feel like going back to sleep but I know I need to be out early and that is not possible - think I will need a sleep when I come home from today though - gonna be a long day!
Hoping you have a great day without the LF - some time for yourself will be good Hon

Sorry I dropped ut there for a little while - had a lie down to try to get rid of this headache and think it has worked. Will take another med before I head out a bit later and that will hopefully get me through the morning. It is the time of year where everything is chaotic but I get to spend some time with my Dad and I enjoy that every year. It has become a ritual for us and I do look forward to it despite the chaos. I only have one present left to buy and will do that when I meet my sister - should be a good day really.
I feel like I have already put the disappointment of yesterday behind me - not anything I can do about it so need to let it go. Glad to be out of there and moving on to the next chapter in my life @CheerBear
