@Faith-and-Hope Haven't caught on on notifications or posts yet but letting you know I am okay. Needed a break and from what I can see a lot of what I was afraid may happen has happened tonight on other threads. It is that feeling of unease when you can see something unfold and then when others jump in to help it all blows up. It is no-ones fault but it does make everyone feel uneasy - and some blaming themselves or hurting as a result. Now it is time to support each other - friends and all fellow members - that is what this community is about and never needed moreso than now.

okay @Faith-and-Hope I think I am finally caught up with all notifications so time for an update...

I had a great day on class yesterday - the kids were wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed the day. We found out yesterday afternoon that students are back in 2 weeks so I will have my class back and I cannot wait. The next couple of weeks will still be extremely busy having to both work with the kids learning at home and those in the class. I am on class Monday and Tuesday but the rest of the week doing the online stuff. I already have too many posts and messages to catch up on so am going to need to stay on Monday afternoon to work through some of them. Tuesday afternoon we have our later meeting so I won't have time then.

I have finsihed the staining of my table and am waiting for the rain to stop to be able to spray it. I got the spray varnish yesterday but it has rained nearly all day. I also finished painting the doorframe so now only one section of green to go. That I will try to do tomorrow.

I visited both my Mum and sister last night. I was lucky enough that the present I wanted to give to my Mum was in stock - only 1 left so someone was smiling down on me I took Tobes with me and he got to run around in Mum and Dad's backyard with one of their dogs. He loves him even though he is so much bigger - they really do get on well. Tobes is scared of the other 2 as one of them took to him (not viciously) when he was a puppy and he has been wary of both of them every since. Then I spent some time at my sister's and got to cuddle her kitten the whole time. He fell asleep in my arms which was super cute.

I have slept a lot of today - which I needed - and watched a lot of things I had recorded during the week - so a really lazy day apart from the staining and painitng (neither took long). Washing is done and out now the rain has stopped, Toby's toys and bed picked up and straightened out and kitchen cleaned - those I did last night.

I loved the kitten you posted. I missed you dreadfully but really needed a bit of time away - which has been good for me.

How are you going with your assignments? ...and how is that niece of mine?

Lovely to catch up with all your news @Zoe7 .... and it's good to see you back, I hoped it was a self care moment.

Assignmemts are ticking over here .... but I have caught myself dozing off, so I am going to head off, and try again in the morning. It's had to put it down when you're on a roll ....

G'night Hon ... and to all the others here and needing to wind down ..... @Former-Member @Appleblossom @Shaz51 @Sans911 @Snowie @outlander @mudsum @utopia

I have probably missed you now @Faith-and-Hope Notifications are all over the place tonight

I am really glad to hear you are getting somewhere with the assignments but it is just as important you listen to your body and get some rest.

Gave myself a complete day offline yesterday as I was teaching and not required to answer any of the online learning it made it easier to close my computer and not open until tonight. Unfortunately that means I had over 2 hundred emails - from both the learning at home parents and the forum - gotten through the forum ones and will tackle the learning at home ones Monday afternoon.

I'll try to catch you tomorrow - love to you and Nelly
