Far and Away

Hi there @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7 @Sans911 @oceangirl @Snowie @Former-Member and others passing through today. Wishing you all a great day today.

Thanks for the virtual hug last night @Faith-and-Hope ... that return hug was much needed too 🙏. I hope that in between all the things you need to do in your days ahead, that you make an opportunity to continue doing the cooking that you used to enjoy so much. Start small and build up. Soon you'll be a Master Chef. 👨‍🍳

Fingers crossed all goes well at school today @Zoe7 and you can get everything organised for an orderly restart from tomorrow. Hope its not too long a day for your first day back 💕.

@Sans911 I really hope this week is a better one for you than last week, which I know was full of disappointments for you 😊.

@oceangirl If a hospitalisation is what's needed to keep you safe, then I hope that can happen this week. Please take care 😔.

Sherry

Thank you so much @Former-Member 🤗💖💕

@Zoe7 allthe very best for your start back at work today Hon 🍎🦋💕

@Sans911 wishing you a better week. Keep taking care of the you that we appreciate so much here Hon .... 💜☕️📚

Hi to anyone else around this morning .....

Thanks @@Sherry

Hi @Faith-and-Hope and everyone here.

I'm sorry having trouble remembering individual stories. Probably dementia or something grr lol. What difference do labels make really. Shutting down. Need Havesuppirt but have to live in present moment realities if anyone wants to meet me there... maybe remind me of stuff, if U have patience.

Have a good day 💙

@Faith-and-Hope @Sans911 @Former-Member Made it to work but was sent home after a couple of hours. Still not feeling good and didn't look well (apparently ). I have slept since I got home and feel a little better now - still have a headache but nausea is better. Not going to move far from the couch this afternoon which will make Toby happy as he has not left my side since I got home ....snuggled right next to me on the top of the couch 🐶

Tonight I will take my meds super early and hope to be able to sleep super early too. I struggled to get moving this morning but it was just as much feeling unwell as it was lack of sleep. I am going to have an early dinner also to see how I feel after I eat then make a call on tomorrow. I am supposed to be on class tomorrow but need to be well enough to do so.

What is making me feel worse is I have no sick leave left so anytime I have off until next month I will not get paid for - and I really need my full pay to cover everything. I am slowly coming out of debt from all the time I did have off but not quite there yet. I have estimated it will take another 3 months (with full pay) to do that which will bring me up to the uncertainty of next term (still don't know what is going to happen for terms 3 and 4 as my time on class was only for the first and second terms).

Need to be able to get through as best I can and am lucky that we didn't have kids today. After tomorrow I am off class for the remainder of the week to do the onlinf learning part so if I can get through tomorrow I should be able to cope with the rest of the week. For now it is just getting through today and not letting having to come home stress me too much (not achieving that so far).

Love and hugs to all and hoping you are all having a better day than me

@Former-Member see you there too - hi

Sending hugs, and many of them, your way @Zoe7 ..... hoping your rest, sleep, and eating well will restore your sense of well-being to get you through tomorrow and into the online learning for the rest of the week.

Please, please take good care of you Hon ..... you have been working so hard, and I am glad that has provided you with a sense of peace in your living space, of seeing a deferred project (almost) completed.

I definitely need a long and restful sleep tonight @Faith-and-Hope I did get more sleep last night but nowhere near as much as was needed. The bonus was no nightmares so hoping that is the same tonight. I will look after myself Hon - have anti-nausea meds I can take and will so before I eat this afternoon - hopefully that will counteract that issue ...and with sleep I hope to feel better in the morning.

There is a sense of calm in my loungeroom but will be even better when the small table is done. Can't do that today and it is a late one tomorrow with an after school meeting so Wednesday is the earliest I will get to it. Can't do anything about that though. Looks like the weekend before I can put that back in place but that is okay.

How are you today Hon? How is the painting going?

Love the peacock flowers @Faith-and-Hope Brought a smile into my day ...thanks Hon 💕😘

Awww gee @Zoe7 ... I'm sorry you are still feeling so sick and generally unwell. I hold myself at least partially responsible, and wish it were not so. Yeah I know you will probably say it isnt so, but I know it is. I am so very sorry Zoe.

I hope the early night and better sleep tonight will set you up for a better day tomorrow. Incidentally I am very happy to see that your colleagues are taking care of you, even if you arent doing so for yourself. Its good that they sent you home, while obviously unwell. Most unfortunate that you have no sick leave left for now, and also that Terms 3 and 4 are so uncertain at this stage. When are you likely to know more on that. It would be nice to know so you can budget ahead for whats to come.

Rest up and take care of our special butterfly.

Sherry 💕💕
