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.

Hi @Former-Member
I am doing ok today. Seems like forever since I've chatted to anyone except @Former-Member.
Was having a really bad time a couple of days ago and she was an amazing support - helped me make a really tough decision. Wasn't up to catching up on any other conversations so don't know how anyone else is doing. Was feeling a little guilty about that but really needed to take care of myself so I decided to do what I had to do and stay offline for a while.
I am going to try and take Toby to the beach today - still have a slight headache so will only be able to drive if that gets better - any bright lights make it 10x worse. The meds help but don't get rid of it completely.
How have you been? Have been thinking about how everyone is doing but haven't had the energy to check in before now!

Hi @Zoe7 ....
Glad you're feeling a bit better ... and yeah, that's sorta like a golden rule around here .... take care of yourself first and do what ya gotta do for your own health, then invest in others ....

Morning (or should I say evening) @Faith-and-Hope
Don't break your IPAD (or your face) LOL.
Yeah it's been really tough the last few days. Found it hard to get through but @Former-Member literally kept me going - not sure where I would have been the other night without her support. I know any one of you guys would have done the same thing but it was just pure luck (or not) that she was around when I needed the support. Love that little cherub 
(and the rest of you guys) - have given me so much to look forward to each day knowing you are all there if needed!
Think I might be up to doing the last bit of Christmas shopping I need to do today. Going to head out soon and see how I go.
I want to go to the the farewell lunch at work as the three teachers that are leaving are really nice. Two are retiring and one is moving schools. Will miss all of them as they are the three I have been closest to this year. One of them I have worked with for many years - shared the same grades and had buddy classes together when we haven't - really won't be the same without her!
Not sure if I can manage the shopping and the farewell but will see how I'm going later this morning.
How's your holiday? Where are you now?
