Far and Away

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope

I think I read that you had a heavy workload at uni this week - yes - I know hoe that works -

Are your girls able to help out with the cooking etc when you are extra busy - my daughter was pretty good about helping and we were both at school during those years and it made a difference

I wish you the best - btw - are you studying full or part time?

Hi @Owlunar ... 💕

One of my girls has a physical and intellectual disability, and the other one (here) is struggling with mental health challenges, so help is a bit random. They love the fact that I am studying though, and they help when and how they can.

My studies are referred to as full time, but they equate to the hours of a part time job.

Good morning @Faith-and-Hope I have taken today off. Decided to do that really early this morning as I still felt much the same when I woke up. I went back to sleep for a few hours and will likely do the same durng the day. Some time with Toby, maybe a little housework and resting body and mind will hopefully help - especially with kids all back next week. It is no doubt going to be really hectic when they are all back so taking the time now is probably a good idea.

You would be pleased to know the small table is done and I have put it back in place. Today I can put everything back on it where it belongs so the dining table will once again be semi cleared - enough to be able to work on again. It has come up way better than I expected - so all that effort was worth it in the end. It makes the loungeroom feel much more completed now and once I vacuum and dust everything again it will feel much better still. I also have a set of 3 thin canvases that I want to paint and put up above the tv - that is my next project (the pecock painitng is still on hold). I am still designing exactly what I want but once I have that finalised I will begin painting. I am thinking of a child iwth their arm out with butterflies flying out - and getting bigger as they fly across the canvases ...still thinking about it though.

I hope now you have some of the major assessment works out of the way you can take your time with the works you have left and your patching efforts last night are all good today. I will check in later to see if you are around ...I definitely miss you but am so pleased you have been spending more time with your kids and getting your work done. Hugs and hugs and hugs

@MDT I am really interested to know why you felt there might be an issue?

@Former-Member Hi Hon. Great image

@Owlunar So very sorry about the fall. I know how much pain I was in when I had mine a few months back so very much feeling for you

Afternoon @Zoe7 .... 👋🦋💕

I got half way through reading your post, and everything started happening at once - I had my mic on silent in my virtual classroom, D1 called, D3 dropped in, we managed to clip one paw full of claws on Nelly before she bolted and had been sulking under the bed since ..... and I am about to receive more furniture (small stuff) from the Art Space unit.

I am glad you are taking a mental health / self-care day, and that things about home are settling back into place. Love the sound of the canvas project too ❣️

@MDT 👋 🤜🤛

@Owlunar .... I hope you're feeling a little better progressively. My bruises took about a week to come to the surface when I had my fall ..... Arnica cream is good for that.
