Far and Away

Afternoon @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @Adge and anyone else around.

@Zoe7 I hope you are feeling better after your fall hon.

Hoping everyone is having a good day.

Lots of love and hugs 💜💜💜

Much better today thanks @Snowie My head doesn't hurt anymore, my back is still very uncomfortable but the intense pain has eased 👍 How was your weekend away?

@Faith-and-Hope

Hi hon, so good to see you on here @Zoe7

I'm glad your head is better and the intense pain has eased, but it must still be hard for you sweetie. Hoping those fur babies are giving you lots of cuddles and love 💕

The weekend away was good. The kids and h had a great time. We went with 5 other families so there was always someone to talk/sit with. We had our own cabin so I could get some 'me' time when I became overwhelmed with everything, plus some prn helped too.

Now the washing has started and putting everything away!! The joys of going away.

I am getting used to the discomfort @Snowie It is not ideal but if I let it get to me too much then it affects my mental state as well ...and that is something I absolutely need to stay on top of 👍 It used to be that I would be both frustrated and depressed about not being able to do things - now I just need to work with what I have and can do until it heals again.

It sounds like you had a lovely time but yes the washing certainly does pile up with a family. I have a oad on myself now - gave Toby a bath earlier so now have lots of towels (and my clothes) to wash. He likes to shake himself in the sink in the laundry so the whle laundry gets a shower (and me) LOL The little drowned rat is now asleep on his blanket but it is feeding time at the zoo so he will be off soon. I might need to get out the hair dryer but he hates that so will see how well he dries after he has had his dinner.

Hopefully it heals soon hon @Zoe7 but that is a good way to look at it.

I can imagine Tobes running around wet. Izzy is due for a bath soon so might be on the agenda for sometime this week.

The added bonus is the floorboards get a wash too when he tries to dry himself @Snowie

Tobes is really good getting a bath (apart from giving the laundry a shower). He does just sit there and let me wash him so it is not too much of an effort. What is Izzy like with baths?

Izzy isn't great with baths @Zoe7 She does not like them but at least lets me wash her.

Do you go back to work tomorrow?

Kids have only this week at school then on holidays.

Yeah back tomorrow @Snowie We have three more weeks before holidays and I can say I am very much looking forward to the break - has been a long term.

Just had a family outing to the backyard to peg out the washing - Clover has been running after something - a bug, a leaf or just her shadow - she is entertaining lol Tobes 'helped' me peg out the washing but kept one eye on squishy face as well lol

I hope the next 3 weeks goes fast for you then hon @Zoe7

I am looking forward to the holdiays too, can have some sleep ins!!

Glad they helped you with the washing!! Iz is asleep next to me, don't think she will move until I do.

No sleep ins here with my menagerie @Snowie ..but I will be able to catch up on some sleep during the days and have lots of fur baby cuddles. Squishy face has become really cuddly - even climbs over Toby to get to sit on my lap - and Tobes barely raises his head lol

She is getting bigger too - can jump onto the bed or couch without climbing up the arm or doona now 👍Cat is also becoming less worried about her - they can sit in the same space now without any stress from either of them ...just another annoying little sibling for Cat lol
