Far and Away

Treading water @Zoe7 ..... feeling in limbo here, so trying to distract myself with a jigsaw puzzle.

I have a laugh for you though. Nelly has worked out a new way to try to send me to bed by pumpkin hour. She was gathering jigsaw puzzle pieces in her front paws last night, then throwing them onto the floor. She came back and did it a half-dozen times ..... I couldn't believe it. Even my cat is a baby dragon ...... lol

Good morning @Sans911 @Former-Member ..... 👋💕☕️

I expect our butterfly @Zoe7 is at work by now.

"Naughty" Nelly was at my jigsaw puzzle pieces again at pumpkin hour last night - she left them alone until then, only this time it was batting the odd one off the table instead of "pawfuls" like the night before ..... and she got hold of my earphones too, which I confiscated. I am really chuffed to see her engaging this way though, and she has begun to play with one (one !) of her toys.

I am trying to put purpose into my week - hence the jigsaw puzzle calling me from the kitchen table - and keep myself distracted. It's my last week of uni break, shortened by COVID and I suspect most of us will be returning to classes with not much stuffing. Our digital imaging classes start this coming term, and they are very fast-paced and challenging for me, so at the moment I am not looking forward to that. I hope the activities we are challenged with change my mind ..... but legals and emotional upside-downness are co-existing within the same time frame. Hence the need for serious distraction.

Morning @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7

Hope there is some goodness in your days 💕💙💜

Thank you @Snowie .....

Have school holidays started for you now ?

@Faith-and-Hope yes, my kids are into their 2nd week already of a 3 week break.

Luckily they are old enough to amuse themselves😁

Nelly sounds extremely cute @Faith-and-Hope 🥰😍 Cats are my favourite. ❤️

The legal stuff sounds very daunting. Hugs to you. 🤗

I hope uni isn't too difficult for you, with everything else that's going on.
Uni is still on a semester break here. Not opening next semester apparently. Bummer. ☹️ Fees still super expensive.

A cuppa for anyone who wants one.
I hope it's is a nice day for everyone. 💖🌸

Yes @Snowie .... school holidays can be a joy when the kids can amuse themselves, and then family activities get layered in as well.

I am glad our youngest two are still within the same complex, even though they are not school aged anymore. We experienced so much trauma from s2bx in the last few years I am glad that it is being followed on by some time still together, although his intention was to isolate me and distance me from our kids. He is still working at that covertly of course. It's hard but I have to trust to the strength in the relationships I have built with the kids to see through his manipulations, triangulations and chaos-creating tactics.

Thank you @Sans911. I am just going to keep putting one foot in front of another. I have S2 and D3 to help me, and equitable learning services are an amazing support in our uni. If I start overthinking it I will frighten myself, so steering clear of that page.

Nelly is slowly coming out of herself. She is very chatty in a trilling sort of way.

💖💕 @Former-Member .... thank you. Cup pa very welcome here, but I will have to wait on the images.

Oh naughty Nelly but it is so lovely to hear her finding her feet and 'playing' with you. Your jigsaw might take longer to do but the joy you will have with Nelly will be worth it.

I have no doubt the digital imaging classes will get easier for you the more you learn. You struggled with photoshop at first but learnt so much so you will get the new stuff too 👍 I know all the legals are having a massive impact on you Hon but every day forward is a step closer to the end of all that - keep doing what you are doing - you will get through it and on the other side is a much better life for you

Hi @Snowie @Sans911 @Former-Member 3 more days until the end of term - I cannot wait!
