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.

Hope it works well for you this week @Faith-and-Hope I'm always amazed that you manage to study on top of all that you do xx

The study doesn't feel like study @eth .... it's my joy. And my kids are involved in the same sort of studies, so it's sort of a culture we are living.
I took D2 to a painting class last week. Her skill level was equal to many others in the class.

Sounds wonderful @Faith-and-Hope and so great that you are maintaining that positive focus while all else is happening.

I can't do anything much with "all else" @eth, other than wait it out, so these things are important distractions as well as feeding her growth - and she needs distracting too, poor darling. She can't read people's motives and takes everything on face value.

Saturday the 8th February 2020. The day my voices returned. 😞
Some days can be just memorable for all the wrong reasons.

Just checking in. I can't believe it's nearly been a week. Thanks for the shout out @CheerBear .
My life has been a full washing machine of dirty laundry in the past week. Therapy has been pretty full on as I try to string bits together. I was hoping to write more but my brain is fried just now. I had lots of SI until the early hours of the morning thus the extra fried brain. 🤯. I'm ok now, just waking up to face my day.
