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.

Edited ^^^ @Teej

I am heartsore for you, but also amazed at the awesome resilience you do have. Keep taking care of you, one foot after the other, doing as much as you are able to moment by moment. Everyone around has to accept that you can only do what you can do.

Grrr that the kids put that pressure on you, but try to shake it off and keep working towards getting sorted. I am sure they will honour your efforts as they see you reaching for the mark.

More hugs incoming .....

Hoping you got some sleep @Teej ...... and the cold is a little better today ....... 💜💐💕

Gently, gently ..... and remember to breathe. One step at a time, and just today’s things in today.

Hugs and hugs. You are doing this ..... you’re getting through it ......

Thanks @CheerBear , @Faith-and-Hope , @Zoe7 , @Snowie , @Shaz51

i slept for about 12 hours.

@Faith-and-Hope There is no 'Gently, gently ..... and remember to breathe' thing with man flu. It’s a bit like trying to breathe with a seal stuck up your nose ?. Pretty sure I snored like a big black dog last night......the one next to me snored like one too ?

i think im on the last part of it and I think it has been a mild case of the flu. The fatigue and weakness is the hardest part now.

Im sorry I flipped last night. I didn’t see that coming.

@Shaz51

These are what I did last night. I made them easy ones and it helped to be not so challenging. I’ve been doing 784 pieces which need lots of concentration but yesterday did 289 pieces and managed to give myself some slack. I just liked the gentle paintings to do and the colours in them. It suited my mood yesterday.

Re: Just checking in.

There is soooo much going on for you @Teej, I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t flip .....

I have been flipping periodically. Going through now what we talked about a couple of years ago in the middle of the night in a land far, far away ..... I place I had hoped we wouldn’t land in, but I am getting through gently, step by step ..... and yeah, that’s like a sea pup up my nose too, but hey ..... it’s a wild ride.

That’s me .... back to you ....

Soooo pleased to see you, and it sounds like the 12 hour sleep was in order, and the best medicine for the flu !!

The thing is @Teej , the up-side of a fix-it-brain is that it takes you onto pragmatic tracks that keep you moving forward when Cinderella-brain just wants to curl up in bed with her head under the pillow, howling. My response last night was about engaging fix-it brain for yourself, and keep truckin’ forward. When the truck comes to a sudden stop, as it did for you in respite, everything gets dislodged and falls to the floor for a while, until you can get it together enough to pick it all up again ..... so having caring helping people around you was a good thing to happen. My baby dragons do that for me when I get sudden stops and everything goes flying into a :pile_of_poo: heap.

Youre doing amazing things Hon. Keep truckin’ and wear earplugs when people are being negative about what you have or haven’t achieved ..... yet ...... because it is yet .....
