Far and Away

Thank you @Shaz51 @Bunniekins ..... 💕

Love the meme for @Zoe7 there @Snowie 👍

I hope you're sleeping @Zoe7 ..... getting the rest you need.

I have started a new painting ..... 🌱

Past pumpkin hour @Sans911 ..... but I am stewing at the moment, so pouring the adrenaline into unpacking art gear that arrived here in a heap from the art space a month ago. Now that I have some structure I can put it into, it's keeping me busy in a positive way, and I am finding materials I need to use, rather tgan having to purchase them online, when they were already here, but unfound.

How are you going ?

Hi #zoe7 @outlander ..... 👋💕

Looks like a few of us are having trouble sleeping @Sans911

No not sleeping @Faith-and-Hope Had a really bad night last night and it has carried over today. A bit reluctant to even try to sleep tonight so been cleaning up. I have finished all the touch ups and washed the floor. Most of the furniture is back where it belongs - just need my small table to dry and I can move that back. It may need another coat of varnish tomorrow so that will mean another couple of days until I can use it. It is where I keep all Toby's blankets so they will remain living on the dining room table until I can put it back.

I am really pleased to hear you are doing a new painting - I love your paintings so great that you are back into it again. I hope you are sleeping now Hon. I will try to catch you tomorrow depending on how tonight goes.

Nelly is really cross with me. She starts scratching at the carpet when she is annoyed .....

I am sorry last night was awful for you @Zoe7 . I knew you were up late. My body clock is coming around to 2am being my pumpkin hour again, so I am going to have to straighten that up .... but I have been reading that a lot of people are finding it hard to sleeo under the current isolation. I think I got around 6-7 hours last night by sleeping in, so that's okay, while I don't have anywhere to go anyway.

You need your rest for Monday though ..... are you going to doze on the couch ?

@Sans911 @outlander .... still here too ?

Hey @Faith-and-Hope

I do have the couch set up but Tobes is spread out on the doona and of course I don't want to move him. I don't think I will be sleeping at all tonight - still a lot on my mind and I don't need another night like last night. It is the worst I have had for many months and although I know I need sleep I also need to get through this little hiccup.

Nelly has really settled in but very naughty of her to scratch at the carpet. Do you have a scratching post for her?

I have noticed you have been up later and later and that does concern me but you will get yourself sorted when you need to Hon. Whislt you are dealing with so much and have your art to distract you just go with the flow. As you said - you don't have anywhere to go and whilst this isolation is happening and you need to keep D2 safe then you have all the time you need to work it out. I hope you can sleep soon and get another 6-7 hours at least.

Yes, Nelly has a scratching post, but she prefers the carpet ..... I growl at her when I catch her at it though, and she stops.

I might head off now. I have set a lot right tonight, so will leave it at that for now. It feels much better anyway.

Please do try to rest up @Zoe7 , even if it's in a lounge chair for a while, with your feet up maybe ?

I hope my issues are not triggering for you.

No none of what you are having to endure are an issue for me Hon There has been some other things here of late that have affected me - some more than others and last night it just all seemed to come to a head for me with dealing with some ofther stuff myself alongside some pretty big triggers yesterday also ...you might say a perfect storm but I will be okay 👍

Oh Nelly is certainly testing you with her scratching then - but in a way it is a good thing as she must feel right at home - so glad you have her My little girl has spent most of the day and evening in her room - I don't think she likes all the chaos that has been here for a couple of weeks so getting the loungeroom back in order and then returning to work will get her in a routine again. Tobes just follows me everywhere and I will no doubt miss him more than he misses me when I go back to work on Monday. It will be good for me to return also - get back in a routine myself and keep my mind occupied. I could certainly do with another week at home but if I had that I think I would start slipping backwards again so I am relieved in a way we are returning Monday.

I will try to get some rest and hopefully be able to close my eyes for a little while. It will definitely be a couch night though as bed island is triggering right now.

I hope you don't get this until the morning and you are already asleep. I do worry about you Hon - you know that - but I also have faith that you will get through this and be even stronger (if that is possible ) for it. So much love for you Hon and as always you are in my thoughts. Sweet dreams @Faith-and-Hope 😘💖🌹
