Far and Away

@Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member Only got 4 hours sleep last night Going to head out to the supermarket early to get that over and done ewth then unpack the car ...all while I can. I suspect I wiwll try to sleep again after that before tackling the marking. Will catch you both when I ican

I hope you both have some light in today. Many hugs incming for you and your fur babies

Been to the supermarket @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member and got the lighter of the boxes out of the car. The other 2 baskets of books will have to wait until later - they are not overly heavy but groceries and the box were enough for me this morning.I still have the washing to get off the line and fold but thst can wait until after I havr rest/sleep.

It sounds like you've got your day off to a good early (and productive) start @Zoe7 👍

Sorry you didnt sleep as well as you would have liked, 4 hours isnt ideal. But hope you get a couple more hours now.

Talk later.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope ... yes I know you have limited time to spend here with so much happening in your rl. But every minute you do have here, is very much appreciated by so many of us. Definitely no pressure to be here though. Give that naughty Nelly a fleeting cuddle from me when you can catch her.

@Former-Member Had another sleep but woken by my sister calling. They have a contract on their house so that is really positive for them. There are some conditions attached so very much hoping it all comes through for her.

She reminded me that a friend who lives at the other end of the state is coming down for her 50th birthday. We are supposed to go to dinner with her Tuesday night - I had completely forgot so that adds one more thing to such a very busy week. I think I will have to make an appearance but leave early. I really want to go as she doesn't come down south very often ...and it is her 50th so would like to celebrate that with her. ....see how I am after the Tuesday meeting and make a decision then.

@Faith-and-Hope Been writing on a poster with fancy lettering for the classroom.

The poster looks like this...

...added 'Dream, Believe, Achieve' around the edges. I still need to paint the words but the outlining is done. Thought you might like the colours in it

Also got the washing in and folded it. Will put it away later as I need to put some of it on a higher shelf in the cupboard and I don't think stepping up onto a stool is the best idea at the moment. My back is a little better today but not going to push it - I really want to make it to work tomorrow.

How is your day progressing? Did you make it to church today or did you go yesterday? How is that paperwork going? ...and how was Nelly last night?

Looove the look and sound of the poster @Zoe7 .... and yes to the colours ❣️

Nelly settled into lap-cuddles with D3 this morning. She was okay last night, and is starting to invest a bit more in the bits and pieces I have bought her ..... and she is eating !! Polishing off her biscuits now ..... Amy e it was the treat of being fed sardines otherwise ..... lol 😂

Went to church this morning ..... and WH turned up there ..... on his own, thankfully, but I didn't expect to find him there anymore ...... sigh. I don't know what that is supposed to be in aid of. There are other branches of our church around The Coffee Place. Maybe he is attending somewhere there sometimes, but he only stays 5 minutes

anyway, so maybe I missed him other weeks.

Whatever ..... :face_with_rolling_eyes:

His faith system is his business now.

Chipping away at the paperwork, and it feels a bit easier the more of it I put behind me, but I am still wandering around in the dark with it ..... there are really no rules, no rails, no standard, for this sort of thing, which also brings home the fact that it's right "out there" .....

Glad to hear you are chipping away at things too. It helps us to feel a bit more stable if the world is in semi-good order around us.

@Faith-and-Hope 🙏

Oh Hon I can only imagine the sinking feeling you must have felt seeing him but so very glad his 'bit' was not with him as well @Faith-and-Hope I hope he does the right thing and goes elsewhere but knowing the games he has been playing I also would not expect that - anything to make you feel uncomfortable and want to change your life - grr!!

All the paperwork sounds like a huge mess to sort out sweetheart but getting it done little by little is good for both sorting it out and for your mental well being. Is your legal appointment Tuesday? I know it is this week but can't exactly recall the day. If it is do you have your psych appointment as well to help talk through some of this?

Such wonderful news Nelly is eating - that is a fantastic sign that she is settling in even more. Love that she had D3 lap cuddles - for both Nelly and D3 Sardines may not have coaxed her out from under the bed but roast chicken might next time - Cat loves roast chicken and will come running from anywhere if it is on offer It is good also that she is starting to play with the bits and pieces you have bought her - the more she invests in those things the less bored she will be ...and the less she is likely to furniture hop.

I totally agree that if things are in order around us then the world around us feels a little more stable also. The only thing I need to do before more schoolwork is wash up. There is not much so won't take long then I can get the books out of the car and begin marking them. Each one won't take long either but I need to record some notes on where the kids are all at so I can put them into groups and plan for each one this week. Then I need to write a Maths test covering all that we will do this term to also see where they are at and devise the groups for Maths also. That one will take a bit more time but I can do it tonight then print it out and photocopy it all in the morning. I need to go in as early as I can to try to catch up a little - aiming to be there no later than 7.30am. Going to be a long day.

Sending you some extra squishy hugs for more progress with the paperork and just because I can 💖💖💖

Thanks @Determined ......🤜🤛

I will get there with it all if I just keep swimming @Zoe7. Legal apt is not this week.

Sorry Hon - got that wrong ...probably a sign my head has not been too good with the pain Yes just keep swimming @Faith-and-Hope - we both need to do that right now hey 💕😘 I am going to have to lay down for a while. It is a fine balance between pain meds and being able to think clearly today so hoping a little more rest will allow me to tackle some more of the 'thining' work afterwards. Hope the rest of the afternoon has some good in it for you. Love ya heaps Hon, will catch you later
