Far and Away

As you do for me Hon 💚💕

I hope the headache and nausea pass soon.

@Zoe7

Meds are actually helping this afternoon @Faith-and-Hope but continuing to rest. It is freezing also so snuggling up with Tobes under the doona is good in a lot of ways.

Haven't seen you around most of the day @Faith-and-Hope so hoping it is a rest day rather than a difficult one (but have the feeling that is not the case ). I have slept on and off most of the day - with some help for my headache. Still not feeling well and of course have done none of my work I need to do. Anxiety about that is increasing but I can only do what I can do so will see how Sunday goes.

I did manage to watch the football tonight - my boys beat your WCE so I suspect D2 is not happy. I always like the WCE winning for her but not when they play my boys Glad Sydney won also for Sherry - with the addd bonus it was the Kangaroos they beat. I haven't really been able to get into the footy since it came back but will always eatch my boys play.

Think I will be up for a while yet but going to lie on couch island with Tobes and see how I go. Bed island is a no-go zone presently (still) so will need to rectify that if I can in the holidays. Right now any sleep I can get is a bonus and that certainly seems to happen better on the couch ...less flashbacks and those normal fears around sleeping.

Hope to catch you sometime later today. Hugs and hugs to both you and Nelly 😺💖

Morning @Zoe7 ..... 👋💕☕️💚

I often pop into threads and just Support any new posts, keeping an eye out for tags that might not have registered, and looking for you of course. It has been a joy to find you in a few different threads in the last few days.

I watched the football with D2 last night, and yes, she is not impressed that our boys didn't win. She is being very pre-emptive about the games too, telling me which games she wants to watch next.

I am knitting something for my western daughter at the moment, and ordered some more wool yesterday ..... and had a soak in the tub last night ✔️ which might have helped me sleep a bit more solidly.

Will turn on a live stream of a church service for D2 shortly, and think about some breakfast.

Hello back from Nelly 🐾

Hi to anyone else around this morning ..... 👋💕☕️

Slowly working my way back @Faith-and-Hope but still not comfortable in some places I used to visit Some hurts are hard to get over

I imagine D2 is excited to have her footy back and I hope your team bounce back next week. It must be so hard for them being away from their families and homes for such an extended period of time but hopefully that will even out a bit later in the season if the WA border opens up and teams have to travel to the west.

Is that secret 'small' things you are knitting Hon?

Cat has taken up permanent residence on the chair next to the heater. It is still very cold here so she has the right idea. It does mean I can give her more pats which I am loving 😺💖

I treated myself to some mini apple danishes this morning when I went to the supermarket. I love the ones from woolworths but could eat all in the packet at once (there are 😎

Definitely going to need a sleep soon - only had about 4 hours in total last night/this morning and still not feeling well. Work is just going to have to wait - nothing I can do about it until I am feeling better and can concentrate.

I agree re work @Zoe7 .,,,, self-care first ❣️

Yes, not quite so secret small things .... lol ..... but still keeping a bit quiet about it while legals are not settled (for keeping i.d. purposes). It's bringing me some comfort though. Trying not to think about the bigger now-so-awkward (understatement) picture.

Nelly is becoming a bit braver regarding cuddling up, but isn't settled in with that yet. She can cuddle up to me, but I am not allowed to cuddle up to her.

Gorgeous Nelly Give her a pat from me too @Faith-and-Hope

I understand you keeping things quiet for now Hon but super excited for you at the same time

Just got to sleep and my mum rang - such awful timimg - now need to see if I can get to sleep again - at least for an hour or two. Then I can watch the NRL while sorting out some work stuff. I am going to concentrate on organising everything and getting this week's plan underway. Unfortunately I need to do some marking of assessment things we have done to finish that plan and put the kids into groups for the week - but some of that can be fluid to begin with. That will mean a lot of work after school each day though to catch up ...and I still need to do some testing before I write reports.

Ugh ..... yes, awful timing by your mum ..... 😣 .... but if course she can't see through the phone.

Wishing you the energy you need to get it all done @Zoe7 .... I have faith in you achieving it, step by step, as you have managed things before ... 🌷

Hey @Faith-and-Hope I got through some of it last night but have more to do - so will try to knock off bit by bit over this week. If I bring one lot home each night I should be able to achieve that on top of what I got done last night. I am trying to keep up with the work they are doing in class in my breaks - that way I will not have as much to do after school or at night

@Faith-and-Hope @outlander @Snowie @eth @Bimby2 @Sans911 @Bunniekins @utopia @Appleblossom @Meowmy @Angels333 @MDT @Pollyotter @Former-Member @Lee82 @Eve7 @BlueBay @Owlunar @Maggie @Adge @Former-Member and anyone else following along...

I had a meeting with the Principal after school today to do our yearly professional learning plan and we discussed which days I would do art and which I would be on class. It looks like it will be 'on class' Wednesday and Thursday and art the other days. I did have the option to do art Mon-Wed but it was more beneficial for the school to split it. Hopefully I can have the 1/2 classes on the Friday and that will make it easier to have the split days because I know those kids quite well now. Either way it is going to be difficult to work around because we don't have a designated space we can work out of. That means I will have to go from class to class but the Principal asked me to keep her updated how it is going and let her know anything I need. So along with marking, planning and reports over the next couple of weeks I also need to organise things to order for next term ...overloaded and overwhelmed is possibly an understatement right now so keeping to a plan and doing things when I can is essential this week. Then next weekend I need to look at the Art curriculum and work out a basic plan for next term (insert lots of swear words here and a request for more than 24 hours in each day )

@Zoe7 I had a pic to post for you, but it’s not appropriate for the busy life you are living at the moment. I really hope all the school prep, marking and teaching isn’t too much. You really are doing an amazing job. Take care. 💞💞🦋🦋
