Far and Away

Hey @Zoe7 .... I haven't seen you here today. Are you okay ?

I have had a lot of phone calls today - a friend from the west, and some east-coast cousins getting in touch 💕

Nelly is starting to venture out to the kitchen and lounge areas. I brought her cuddle mat out today and she slept pretzel-style on it for a while, but she is still quite flighty.

So sorry to hear about your mum @Shaz51 ..... that's really hard. Hugs 💜

Hi to @Sans911 @Angels333 @oceangirl @Adge ... anyone else around.

thank you my @Faith-and-Hope , @oceangirl

I rang mum up tonight and she says she is ok

will see her in the morning

hope you wound heals now , it has been 8 weeks

I am aching soo much tonight xx

Hi @Faith-and-Hope It's been a rough day - perhaps that's why people were quiet on the Forums.

I have a "Very Expressive Face"....

SNAP @Faith-and-Hope Just logged on - been plastering and sanding and washing walls today. I just went to Bunnings to get some sugar soap and they were already closed - bugger!!! Really wanted to finish the walls tonight - so now I'll have to leave it until tomorrow which also means I will have mess everywhere for another day

Lovely to hear you had a nice long chat with D1 this morning - I know you would much rather be there with her Great also to hear you have been talking to your cousins and a friend - those connections are so important to you and I hope they make you feel less alone right now.

Nelly seems to have become much more settled and obviously loves you - especially at night when it is bed time She is certainly feeling more at home venturing out and that is a real positive. ...so glad you have her Hon 😺💕

Finally got my washing off the line and have folded it all. Need to do a little ironing but won't do that until all the sanding is done and I have cleaned up. Have a plastic sheet over the top of everything piled on the dining room table so the dust doesn't cover it all ...and it will probably stay that way for a few more days because I think I will do the dining room walls as well - I have time 👍

Sorry you didn't get to sleep early but having your sculpture to do helps occupy your mind a little - that is the way it has been for me doing the walls - I have not hit a downward spiral as I suspected I would because I have kept busy ...and the result will be something I have wanted to finish for years but haven't had the motivation to do.

Tobes and Cat are good - it is warmer this evening so Cat is outside but of course Tobes is next to me. He will need a bath after I finish everything because he loves to sit right next to me and subsequently gets covered in plaster dust as well But being white you can't see it!

Tomorrow is going to be a big day as I want to wash all the walls and paint also - should be able to do 2 coats if I get stuck into it early enough.

@Shaz51 I am still really worried about you my sister - you have so much on your plate with your Mum and Mr Shaz so please look after yourself too 💚

@Sans911 Hi Hon. Will catch up with you on the other thread later

haha @Sans911 I can picture that Hon I had 3 days rest and that was enough - I was getting bored laying on the couch and just watching tv. The snuggles with Toby were nice - and he has been super happy having me home - but I can't stay still for that long or my mind begins to wander. I had a major trigger yesterday morning too so keeping busy is good for me. I have managed to get through that by keeping busy ...and being prductive at the same time - so it definitely is good for me. I am hoping to have it all done this week so next week I can spend some time in the garden when we hopefully we have better weather.

Yes well @Sans911 I am very quiet (reserved) in groups.

Yet my face says it all - for those who pay attention.

@Faith-and-Hope Haven't seen you for a while tonight so I hope have been busy doing your sculpture or drawing and are sleeping now. Love and hugs to you and Nelly Hon

Major upset tonight from WH and his bit @Zoe7.
