Far and Away

@Faith-and-Hope I hope classes are going okay today Hon

I have finished my taxes and lodged, done some washing and pegged it out, cleaned up the kitchen and cleared off some more of my dining table. I am now officially cactus so going to try for some sleep then do some more later. Will catch up with you when I am more alive again

Please pray for me @Faith-and-Hope I am turning to drink again. I know it's not helping me. 💖💖

I will most certainly pray for you @Former-Member ..... 💜💜💜🌷

The first step in treating an addiction is recognising it for what it is, which you do. Where else can you reach out for support ? Does your doctor know ?

Also, please step up your self-care in every other aspect of your life that you can think of. Recognising what you are really seeking, there are healthier ways to redirect and manage the awful feelings that are so hard to deal with in your situation. .... sitting with you Hon, as are other forum friends. Please keep reaching out for help irl as well as here ......

Hugs and hugs ❣️

Well done @Zoe7 ..... 💕

Heading back into class from a break.

Managed to doze for about half an hour before the fur babies wanted their dinner I tried to ignore Cat but Toby sat on my chest and started licking me - that got me up pretty quickly lol

I don't think I can do too much more tonight @Faith-and-Hope as I really have reached my limit for today. Will watch some tv, have meds early and head to bed hopefully in a few hours. I don't think I will have any trouble sleeping tonight 👍

@Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member 💜💜💜

Well done on your achievements so far @Zoe7 ..... I hope you do have some quality sleep tonight and continue your recovery. I am thinking about starting dinner .....

Hi @Snowie ❄️💕

I hope you're staying warm and cosy .....

@Faith-and-Hope I actually expected to be heading towards sleep about now but it seems I have a second (or third or fourth) wind. Finished dinner already here and as usual Tobes is asleep on the couch and Cat curled up near the heater. It got to a whole 9 degrees here today and expected 12 tomorrow (a heatwave lol). It was very cold today though - I could feel it inside when I stopped - I nearly had to put socks on I am thinking of going into the city tomorrow so I don't have to do it next week. I have a dentist appointment on Monday and have to go into school on Tuesday, then a zoom meeting on Wednesday for a suicide prevention group. I haven't been able to attend any meetings this year because of work so I really should join in on this one.

How did classes go today? Anything new you learnt?

Hi @Zoe7 💕

Today was getting set up for the semester. At our level of study we start into a lot more freedom of choice around the tasks. It becomes more about the processes ..... so lots of food for thought happening anyway.

I have been going on with my isolation project this afternoon, and Nelly has been frisky. I had to rescue my earphones from her, and then my glasses cos she was seeing what she could pilfer from the table top. Then I could hear her scrabbling around behind a set of shelves in the corner of the lounge room.

D2 is settling herself down in front of the football.

I do love both Nelly and your project(s) news @Faith-and-Hope My little sweetheart has been extra cuddly this week - even braving Toby interference at times. Luckily she is not as 'naughty' as Nelly but she is also a lot older. Nelly is still young and playful so that is cute.

I am not interested in the football tonight so watching my favourite Friday night show "Escape to the Chateau' then I will watch ABC for the rest of the night. I have been watching a show called 'Hunted' on 7plus - Melissa George is the main actor and I love her in anything. It is a spy drama set in London and I am really getting into it.

I just did some online shopping - after how cold it was today I decided to spoil myself and get another couple of woollen jumpers. I can actually afford it now all my debts are paid off and I have extra money coming in soon.
