Far and Away

Hi @Former-Member .... 😊

You wrote:

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 .... 👋🏽💗💕

Re: Far and Away

I'm still hungry @Zoe7
Might need the other half after all. 😂
So tired and sore after shopping for a couple of hours. At least I bought myself some new tops.
Are you ok today?

Re: Far and Away

I've been trying to keep busy - as much as I can do @Former-Member Thanks for asking

@Faith-and-Hope recommended something for my very, very sore tooth and gums and it has worked so well I want to use it everywhere hahaha - if only it could fix my throat and voice also.

This is the time of day that I start going 'downhill' the most before my big 'crashes' later on when I am tired, anxious and scared. Hopefully all the party planning will keep me occupied - and I have taken on the role of keeping @Faith-and-Hope going with her daily goals list (whether she likes it or not lol) - so plenty to distract me so far.

Now go and eat the other half of the sandwich lol and come back and tell me what you brought today - details please

Re: Far and Away

Hey @Zoe7 ..... I found you .... ❣️

I have buffed the first round of glasses, and have found another set to move to the same cupboard, so that has doubled the job, but I think I am up to adding on that next baby step today.

I am also going to get a handy man in to put some hooks on the walls and start hanging up bits and pieces that I have had in mind for a while .... I can't say "until I got around to it" cos I just stopped trying to do anything with the house a few years ago .... so it's more like "when I have r covered enough to take it in again" ..... and I am .....

Love hearing from you @Former-Member .... 😊 .... but I have one question ..... are they packet chips or hot oven chips in that there sandwich ??

Re: Far and Away

Ouch! Sore tooth and gums.😮😣😨
@Zoe7 that's no good.
I start to get even more tired than tired around 4pm.
Oh, party planning. Few birthdays coming up I see. 😀
Mine was in April. 😀

I bought 4 new tops from Cotton On for a total of $18, yes, $18.
One white and one black pretty cotton top.
A t shirt and a denim pretty top.
$5 for 3 and the tshirt was $3.
I love bargains.
Usually I only find things for my daughter.
Cheers me up, having new clothes to wear.

Had a few more chips, lol.

It's a bummer when feeling so run down
Hoping you feel better soon.
I remember reading that you are a teacher and became ill etc.

I became very ill from working in child care.
Never quite recovered.
Now I know that I had complex ptsd, didn't know what was wrong with me.

Looks like I won't be cooking again tonight. 😮

Re: Far and Away

I'm sorry @Faith-and-Hope - I have been fluttering around all over the place this afternoon - but I will always come home when called lol

I presume you cannot put the hooks up yourself otherwise there will be backlash from WH - or you don't know how? hahaha

I am waiting for 'our' next list - not too many things though - I have a feeling it is going to be a very busy night!

@Former-Member bugger - we missed your birthday - maybe we can slot an extra one in for you when these 4 are all over - how does that sound?

wow $18 - I spend more than that on Toby food lol

Yes it does really suck but I have pretty much resigned myself to not going back to work for quite some time yet. I don't miss the kids as much as I used to but I haven't been well enough to think too much about work either. On top of the MI issues I am still recovering from the effects of getting so sick last year - both the mental and physical 'illnesses' happening together certainly make it alot harder to cope with eveything.

Re: Far and Away

There's always next year re birthday @Zoe7 😀
Totally understand re not being well Zoe.
I haven't been able to work for a very long time. Tried voluntary, but was triggered big time, big, long story 😂

Had my daughter when was "older". 😀
That took alot out of me.
Just trying to survive now.

Always looking for "wellness" though.
Would be nice to enjoy life, not just endure it. 😊

Good idea @Faith-and'Hope 😂
Chip sandwiches for the family for dinner.

I just had egg on half a sandwich and jam on other half. So healthy tonight 😂
Wholemeal bread 😊

Re: Far and Away

Oh @Former-Member if we start planning soon for your birthday next year it may become a world-wide event lol - completely anonymous of course

I have now been off work for nearly 10 months - but it certainly doesn't seem that long. When I first started seeing the psychoatrist she 'suggested' that she couldn't see work being a consideration for at least 6 months (and I remember thinking that it couldn't possibly be that long) - and that was 3 months ago - and I am no closer just yet to even thinking about work. Yep - just trying to survive each day at present

Re: Far and Away

Rest and recover @Zoe7
It's good that we can try and have a laugh, even though we feel like crapp.
So good to distract.
Today in the car, my daughter and I were talking about something stressful re school.
I asked her to put a song on called, In the jungle. I think that's what it's called.
See if you can find it on utube (if you feel like it). It really cheered us up.
