Far and Away

Glad the heatpack is helping @Owlunar Have one on my back also today. Also had pain killers - it has not been good all week but feeling it today the most now I have stopped for a while. Done a little more work but it is feeling very overwhelming at present. I really need more sleep but have to get this work done also. I have not brought as much home to mark this weekend - the rest I can do gradually over the coming week once all the work for this student is out of the way. Feeling very low still too so that is not helping with motivation.

I have managed to do all the washing this morning - just need to peg it out. It is not a nice day though - very foggy and cool so it may take a while to dry. We are expecting rain again tomorrow so not sure if it will dry without being brought in to put on the clotheshorse. Can't control the weather though so what will be will be.

@Faith-and-Hope I have been looking up some posters to print out for Art next term. All my larger posters were in the ones that were thrown out at that other school so it is both enjoyable and saddening. I can't get the ones I previously had so will need to make some myself and print them out on A3 paper. I will do that gradually over the next few weeks once all the present work is out of the way for this one student. I have ordered a couple of artist books that I did not have in a children's series. I could have ordered a lot more but money is still very tight so could not afford it right now. I still have to go to the chemist and need a couple of things from Bunnings and the supermarket so that will be a tomorrow trip.

I hope you are working through your assignments and you have not been hit by more legal things right now. Thinnking of you Hon and missing you

Hi @Zoe7 @Owlunar @Maggie .... anyone else around 👋💕

🦋 @Zoe7 I am glad your sister's visit was short and sweet, but I am also sorry to hear that it disturbed your sleep. I hope you can take at least some rest today, if not a dozy nap ......

🦉@Owlunar I am sorry I overlooked your post from yesterday asking about my uni course. Unfortunately I can't tell you which uni as it is too identifying, but I can tell you that I am studying art, and enjoying it very much. My aim at the moment is to keep distracted while I try to manage the fallout from my personal situation around my soon2bX (latest name for WH), and studies are doing that for me. When I started my D3 and S2 were studying courses in the same building, but what s2bX did at the end of last year - which has turned out to be from way before then actually - knocked them both out of their studies for the moment, so I am in it on my own ..... for now ..... but being there to support both of them as they try to get their baby dragon wings back on was the most important thing for me when I stated. Now everything is on a make-do basis, but if I can gain my artistic qualifications across this period of time when s2bX has been trying to destroy my life and relationships, then something good will be achieved along with having to wade my way through all his slime.

@Maggie I hope you are doing okay ..... @Former-Member @Former-Member too 🌷🌸🌻

I am getting assignments done. I had broken sleep last night because my mind was trying to solve unsolvable problems that have to get sorted through the legal stuff ..... and of course feelings of fear and loss are balled up in all of that too ..... but I managed to get back to sleep and sleep in. My sleep cycles will have to sort themselves out during my mid-semester break.

I am looking forward to getting into some personal art projects @Zoe7 . I have been stacking them up, knowing that when the semester stops I am going to have to keep going with something to keep

my mind and heart steady for the road ahead.

Photoshop is not up and running again yet. S2 and D3 have not been available and I need to be respectful of their time and commitments / interests.

I will be back later. I am working around interactions with my kids here and there, and I have had to do a lot of physical staging in the last 48 hours or so ....

Hugs to all ...... 💕💕💕💕

Oh Hon so much mental space being taken up at the moment for you on things other than uni. I can hear so much stress for you right now and that saddens me for you. Keep plugging away at your assignments and art and look forward to doing those projects for yourself in the break - they will keep you busy and keep your mind spinning out of control with all the rest of the shite you are having to deal with. Make sure you throw in plenty of extra self care for yourself (apart from just the art).

I have done a few things today but still way behind where I need to be @Faith-and-Hope I can't concentrate properly and have not been able to sleep again so very tired. I know I need to get more done tonight though otherwise I will not be able to complete it tomorrow - so it is going to be a long night. If I can catch a couple of hours sleep soon then maybe I can get more done later tonight. I will try to check in with you later to see how you are going. Hugs and hugs and hugs 💜💙💚🧡💛😘🌹

Hi again .....

Feeling very sluggish tonight and going at a snail's pace here ..... but still going.

@Zoe7 @Owlunar @Maggie @Former-Member @Former-Member @utopia @Snowie @Sans911 @outlander ..... anyone else around

Much the same for me too @Faith-and-Hope Still haven't slept either which is not helping. I hope you have managed some rest today and can get some sleep tonight to recharge your batteries a bit. Not doing well tonight so not going to stay - just wanted to touch base with you and send you all the love in the world 💛🧡💚💙💜

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋 @Zoe7 .... I hope you are sleeping now.

I have submitted my next assignment .... three to go.

💖🌷💕 @outlander @Sans911

Well done on submitting another assignment @Faith-and-Hope - you are ticking them off gradually and I hope you are still enjoying the process as you do so. Very little sleep again but have been to Bunnings, the chemist and supermarket ...finally found Metho so that was worth the trip in itself ?

Going to try for a sleep for a while before I get stuck back into work. Hope you day has some light in it Hon

@Sans911 💕😘

Thanks @Zoe7 ❤️🦋

Yes, still enjoying the work. Mental note for next semester: do a little of it every week ..... Wasn't possible this semester tho, with all the upheaval and legal going on.

I hope you do get that nap in today, and the work cones together gently, gently for you.

Hi @Sans911 @Maggie @Former-Member @Snowie @outlander .... anyone else around ..... 👋💕☕️
