Far and Away

I've got water back on (taps) - after 6 hours with no water.

I was running out of drinking water, & getting dehydrated.

Definitely worth a Woo Hoo.....

@Shaz51 hey darling,so sorry you have douch going on. Hope you feel a bit better day after day. It's crazy and testing all of us. Hope we will get through bit by bit. Take good care of yourself. We need your smiles and love

🎉 @Adge .....

Hi everybody 👋💕

I am having a down day here .... getting caught between WH being a 🤬 and the kids' concerns around D2 remaining safe ..... 😔

I have stopped to just rest and have a cup of tea before going to empty the car of things. Trying to keep busy and make myself useful ....

.... thanks.

Still low motivation for my uni work, so I am continuing with the house clean. At least I can tick a box here and there.

@Teej how are you doing ?

@Faith-and-Hope . I sneak in and out of the Forum.

I'm OK. I'm isolating. I'm bored. My mood is dropping. But I'm surviving.

Take care of yourself first @Shaz51

Sorry to hear it has not been an easy day for you Hon. Not being able to leave and actually go into uni would no doubt be hard as I know it has been a real distraction for you. I also know you have made an art of taking timeout for yourself at a coffee shop somewhere too so not being able to do that would also be difficult. It may mean very little to many in the current climate but it is often those little things that really help us keep our head above water. It is great you still have the house cleaning/sorting to keep you occupied though - it is going to be one well organised living space for you 👍 I know personally how satisfying it was to finally finish my sorting and although things are still stacked in the spare room I now know what is in each box and where in the room things are to be located. The big clean out also made room in my house and things that had been previously put in the too-hard-basket were finally fixed, mended or a home found for them.

I can imagine your baby dragons are concerned for their sister - it really is a terrifying time for those like D2 that are particularly vulnerable. I have no doubt you are doing everything possible to keep both her and yourselves safe ...thinking about you all

🦋❤️ @Zoe7 .....

It's been another hard day. Just trying to put one day after another behind me until I am as far removed from WH as I can get ..... seeing how creative I can be making up new names for those initials ..... 😡

I hope it's been another good day for you. It really helps to hear it.

Hugs @utopia ..... can you set up some projects for yourself ? Art and craft suggestions are on YouTube, even just to watch others making stuff .....

Hi @Former-Member 👋🌷 .... how are you doing ?

I have some creative ways to describe WH and can certainly make up some names that go along with those 2 letters as well Hon. You are doing all that you can in a really sucky situation ...stay the course sweetheart - there will be an end to all this and life will get better. That does not help much right now whilst you are still in amidst the storm but as I have said before - you have truth on your side and that will serve you well as you go forward with all the legals and into the future. Reach out to and hold onto your supports as they will help cushion each blow as you navigate this minefield. So much admiration for you in all that you are dealing with and with so much continued grace and dignity - you truly are one in a million @Faith-and-Hope

I had a really lovely day yesterday. I actually had more there than the day before but also had extra aide support so that meant I could work with a couple of kids I don't usually get to work with. One I sat with for most of the day and he asked if I was going to work with him tomorrow (today). It was so lovely to sit with one of my students that needs that extra help but often gets lost with me having to work consistently with the lower few kids. I am looking forward to working with him again today as I have extra aide time again and that will make it achievable.

My super funny kid once again took over the class ...and of course I let him He makes me laugh every day (even when he should be getting in trouble for some of the things he does ) I find I cannot help but smile (or laugh) at him though - he does thongs with such humour that I cannot help myself - not great role modelling at times but he is super funny and does make us all laugh. That was pretty much my day yesterday - lots of laughing and plenty of smiles - so the kids went home happy ...and that is all we can ask - especially in the current climate.

I am enjoying the smaller class - we can get so much more achieved and I can actually work with some of the kids I don't usually have much time with - so that is a real bonus. I am looking forward to the weekend though - super tired but not sleeping very well so will hopefully be able to catch up a little this weekend. I have less marking and organising to do with so many kids away so that should help ....and of course there is no sport on to watch so will have plenty of time on my hands to fill in. Lots of ongoing self care needed - and sleep is at the forefront of that.

Better try to get another couple of hours sleep now so I can tackle the day ahead a little better. Hope you have a less hectic and energy zapping day without WH being his usual a/h self. Thinking of you a lot and sending you some squishy hugs
