Far and Away

Hi @Former-Member .... 😊

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, how's your adventure going? Is there a particular thread your putting updates? Jetlag takes about a week to settle I'm told, and I'm sure there's son Celtic wisdom to get over your post viral fatigue How's WH coping with his obcessive routines while travelling? A challenge I would think 😕 Hope this is a time yo rekindle some first love maybe.
Any good churches to visit there? Did you go this morning? Love ancient architecture and history. Churches are great for it. Hugz xox

Hadn't thought to start a new thread ....

In transit again today and have to go again now .... found a brief moment with wifi .... will catch you later and answer the above.

Hi to everyone else .... 👋🏽💗💕

Enjoy breaky out @Faith-and-Hope

Having 2nd coffee back in bed. Not a good sleep here either. Too many things to worry about. News given at appointments, not good.
Might find a bicky too. 😀🍪☕️
I hope you got enough sleep to get through the day. Any uni today?

Uni starts next week here.

Big hugs back @Faith-and-Hope

I hope class goes well.
Online here again this semester. They get a choice. Might be easier online, seeing as I'm chauffeur at the moment. 😳😩🤪

Although face to face sometimes better. Hoping she can go in when need be.
Plus she likes to be with people/friends. To keep her mind off "stuff".

Re: Far and Away

I understand that @Former-Member. It will be a balancing act for you.


Hopefully owing to her situation the uni will allow both according to the need. Is there an Equitable Learning Setvice at her uni ? The function of it is to "level the playing field" which is what your D needs right now. They cater for physical disability, mental health, and medical conditions by providing liaison, access to assignment extension on compassionate grounds, counselling support, etc.

What beautiful images @Former-Member You always put on such a lovely morning/afternoon tea 🍵🍰🧁

So sorry to hear you have not had good news Hon - I can only imagine how hard that is for you and your beautiful D - thoughts are definitely with you both

@Faith-and-Hope Pleased to hear you got a few hours sleep. I just nearly fell asleep in the online meeting - to be honest it was quite long and boring. We had an academic guest speaker (who I actually know from taking his classes many years ago) - his delivery has certainly not changed ...very dry, slow and not at all conducive to 'staying awake'. He went way over time too which also did not surprise me The content itself was interesting but I could not remain focussed - hoping the powerpoint presentation is provided with the minutes of the meeting so I can look through it at my own pace later.

Very much needing to wake up now and get into some work. I would rather be sleeping but that will not get anything done. I am considering heading out into the garden for a little while while it is not raining to get some fresh air and wake up a bit. I need to drill a larger hole in my trailer for the water to flow out of so might even do that so I can put all the garden rubbish straight onto the trailer. I also need to unpack the csr from yesterday but that can wait until later when I need the kids books to glue work into.

Re: Far and Away

I am feeling dozy again too @Zoe7, although theoretically I got enough sleep. Might need a coffee ahead of my Photoshop class shortly.

You are inspiring me with your handyman efforts. I have never used a drill .... lol. Sculpture class has introduced me to some power tools though.

In response to: Re: Far and Away

Re: Far and Away

Oh @Faith-and-Hope you do not know what you are missing. I love creating things with tools and I suspect you would do some amazing work with wood and/or sculpturework. Imagine all the things you could add to your sculptures. You could do some amazing designs on wood too - either painted or burnt on ...a whole new direction maybe. I used to have a wood burning tool but I lent it to a teacher at my last school and never got it back. She has retired now so it is most likely lost to the school. I will get another one one day - they do not cost much.

Haven't done the trailer yet as my drill needs charging . I could get out my corded drill but cannot be bothered running the extension cord from the garage.

Managed a small meal for lunch so hoping food and fresh air keep me going for a bit longer. It is very cold outside so it definitely woke me up a little just stepping outside for a few minutes to get the drill. I think I might vacuum (finally) while I am waiting for the drill to charge. I always feel a little better when the floor is clean. Tobes is asleep so all his toys are finally away (again!)

Hope your coffee wakes you up a little too and you can find some energy to do some more of your projects 💕😍

Re: Far and Away

There is a support system at uni @Faith-and-Hope

Not a nice experience with head person at uni last time. Need to find the right person to talk to.

We need to discuss it further with specialist next week.
Long story, but lecturer last semester caused huge stress for d. I'm shocked really. Need my fight back to take it further. I have nothing left though, to fight. It's so distressing when people don't understand what she's going through. She looks normal and puts a smile on her face etc. So people just don't get it.
They just don't see that there is no cure, except a miracle.
Sorry, not a good day here. Super stressed and so afraid of losing her. She's all I have.
Hi there to you too @Zoe7

Huge hugs to you both. 🤗💖💖
