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.

That sounds like you are getting there even after a very big tiring week @Zoe7 . You go girl. Maybe it might be the market after all. Dang, you might have just motivated me to go do my dishes too (there’s quite a few more than you). It will be good when my kitchen is clean again. It took a hit over the last two days. Kids have all gone again now so hopefully once it’s cleaned up I can keep it clean.

I have been cooking dinner every night whether I have felt like it or not and left the dishes for a few days until last night - so only a few things to do tonight @Teej It certainly can pile up though even when you are by yourself. The good thing is no-one is around to see the mess either but I always feel better when the kitchen is clean and the floor is vacuumed - the latter I will do tomorrow ...plenty of fur baby hair to vacuum up.
Yes I may get to the market but it will very much depend on how I feel in the morning as my sister wants to go early ...might not be up to that but will see - I can always sleep when I get home.
Do you have any plans for tomorrow? Or another rest day?

Not sure about tomorrow yet @Zoe7 . I may catch up with new friend or mum. I could go to the market but like you I’ll play that by ear. I think I’ve been on survival mode to get through this week. I have lots of household chores to catch up on too. Today has been a bit of a reset. The weather has been lousy and that may determine my plans too. What has the weather been like there?

Cold here today @Teej Think we reached 12 degrees 
We didn't get the rain that was expected though so might even be able to mow my backyard tomorrow. It is getting to that level where I can't see Toby's legs when he is out there lol but he has pretty short legs anyway 
Sounds like we both may need to just take tomorrow as it comes and hope we can get a little done around the house as well. I would certainly prefer to have it all done tomorrow so I can relax on Sunday after lunch. A couple of footy games for me to watch tomorrow too so will at least get some rest time in as well.

Sounds good @Zoe7 . I hope you get some quality rest so you can get a few things done too. Enjoy. I might head off now too. Feeling a bit tired. 💜🤗

I don't think I will be far behind you @Teej - just want to get one more load of washing on after the one I have on now and then I will be in sleepy land myself I think. Goodnight Hon - thanks for the chat tonight

Hey @CheerBear I see you there. How goes it? I’m supposed to be asleep but it hasn’t come yet.
