Far and Away

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

Thanks @Zoe7

"Read your WR posts It is absolutely ridiculous that they are expecting you to do work that you are obviously not capable of doing ...and to be honest - those hours not many would be capable of doing. Keep us updated how it all plays out buddy"

Good feed-back, thanks.

Yes, honestly I don't see how they can expect anyone to work 6.00am Starts & 8.00pm Finishes - How can anyone be Functional, working those hours.

For me it's the "Urgency" of several of these communications (all at once) -

- Then "Call us back" less than 24 hours after the Infor Session, "To commence 5 weeks Intensive Training Immediately"

- That has triggered so much severe Overwhelm.

I have to get Past the Overwhelm (Regain Calm & Centredness) - Before I can even consider what actions to take (what to do).

Thanks.

Re: Far and Away

Hey @Adge I honestly cannot see you doing this work - the hours are just ridiculous - and in light of your recent win with the doctor saying you can only be expected to work reduced hours per week it is unacceptable that you have even been contacted for this present job. There certainly seems a disconnect between what you have been assessed at being able to do and what you are currently being 'told' to do. Would it be an option to get this doctor to call them to advocate on your behalf - that way you don't have to deal with the employment provider yourself and can hopefully reduce some of that overwhelm?

@Faith-and-Hope Hope you made it out of bed and to church Hon.

@Former-Member I saw my kids play - they were sooo cute. Unfortunately they did not score any goals and the other team got about 10 but they had fun. The added bonus was I also saw several of my other kids as they were playing at the same time. There were a lot of other kids from our school playing around the grounds too so I had a lot of excited kids saying hi. I don't know who was the happiest - the kids or the parents surprised to see me there

I didn't take Tobes as I still had not unpacked the car - but that is done now so I can now settle in at home for the rest of the weekend with my fur babies. It is very cold so happy to stay inside, keep warm and have lots of cuddles with my babies.

Good afternoon @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope @Adge @Former-Member @Emelia8 and anyone else around.

Hoping your day is going well 💕💕💕

Re: Far and Away

@Zoe7 careful not to get a big head there, at the soccer games lol 🤣 No, it is a lovely thing youve done there for the kids, outside of school. Not many would I suppose. Do the kdz like Toby?

Hi @Adge - feel for you and then testing your limits and triggering you... Have to find you some extra coping strategies to reduce the stress, the uncertainty.... Deep breaths, don't give up. How's Jelly cat, and those birds of yours lately? 🕊️🦉

Re: Far and Away

LOL @Former-Member Yes my head was hard to get through the door when I got home

The kids do love Tobes. I would love to take him into school one day but the paperwork to do so is ridiculous. I do take him with me when I go in in the holidays and picked him up at lunchtime on our last day with staff. He was so well behaved and one teacher in particular fell in love with him so I send her the occasional photo.

@Faith-and-Hope @Snowie @Adge Have nearly finished sorting all my school stuff for Art so tomorrow will be a much cruisier day - which is just what I need before the mayhem of the week begins again. Put a movie on my computer whilst I did it all and now watching the footy. All fur babies asleep now too so it is finally quiet in our house.

Re: Far and Away

@Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @Snowie @Adge @Emelia8 Finished sorting all my school stuff last night - have a little housework to do today, need to cut some wood for schooland do some planning then can settle in on the couch for the rest of the day with the fur babies. Currently have a squishy face right next to me and Tobes asleep next to her - they really are super cute together.

What is on the agenda for you all today?

In response to: Re: Far and Away

Re: Far and Away

Good morning @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @Adge @Emelia8 and anyone else around.

Wishing you all a good day and you get done what you need too.

Thinking a pj day might be here today.

Lots of love and hugs to all 💗💗💗

In response to: Re: Far and Away

Re: Far and Away

Morning @Snowie - you've earned a pj day hun, probably be the same here. Not that anyone knows I'm in pg's But that doesn't stop us clucking around 💗
@Zoe7 you so inspire me your 'get-up-and-go' - how far you've come, your furbaby family 🤗
☕
I gotta finish up this bedroom curtain today. Found a really pretty floral donna cover at op shop, that matches my bedspread . It's polyester so falls nice and let's the light through.
Still some plants to repot. Maybe go for walk, beautiful outside 🔆🕊️

In response to: Re: Far and Away

Re: Far and Away

Sounds like a nice day planned @Former-Member

A walk sounds nice, but a bit cold for it here. Hope you get your curtain finished today.

Just did the ironing (yay!) and some more washing. With two kids and a hubby it never seems to end!!

Have to take D to work later on. Weighing up whether I drive her down in my pj's 😉😉

Re: Far and Away

This seems a Good Strategy @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @Snowie

I wonder if it works in relation to life generally....
