Far and Away

No not anything achieved at all @Snowie Shite day all around 😔

@Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member 💖

Awww @Zoe7 ❤️🌹

So sorry to hear that …. hugs n hugs for a sucky day ❣️

I am still resting up, feel so knocked around but I know I will recover with self-care. Another major battle coming up, but hopefully a fruitful one.

What can you do to manage tonight ?

Is the bathroom finished enough for a bath ?

Thanks @Former-Member 💖 Yes lots of baby cuddles tonight 🐶😺

@Faith-and-Hope Yes the bathroom is done enough to have a bath but I had a nice long shower as I was pretty dirty. I think I had mud caked on top of mud.

I still have all the trims to paint but they will need to wait. Tomorrow maybe I can paint over the parts that bled under the tape - there are only a few spots so it won't take long - just need the motivation. They will need a second coat though as it is cream on dark green.

It sounds like you are still kicking goals even though you are so worn out Hon. I hear some positive in your words and that warms my heart. Nearly there sweetheart - such a long, long road for you but the end is getting closer 💖

Had a rather heated argument with my Mum today. I feel both right and terrible about it. I asked her why she told Dad about the plumbing because he then just said he was coming and didn't ask if I needed him to. I told her it meant everything was taken out of my hands and although I know he was trying to help that I had no say in it. The result of today was what I already knew - the pipe needs replacing ...so he spent money to get the machine that was a waste of time. I tried to tell him that yesterday but he just kept telling me what I already knew so I shut up and let him do whatever. Then Mum tried to say we would get a plumber and that just made me angry - why spend money for someone else to dig when that is what I was doing okay on my own. ...Then she said their helper could come down and dig - well I hit the roof. I told her I did not need the help digging and I certainly did not want anyone here I did not know - her response was 'we know him'. As you could imagine - that was enough for me. At that point I could have thrown the phone but I calmly ended the call (not sure how - think I just felt defeated by it all).

There was a lot more but I am just over today. The last few days have been a waste of time and I am feeling quite anxious about going back to work next week as I have done none of what I wanted to do. Hopefully after a good night's sleep (if I can) I will feel a bit better and more motivated tomorrow ...we'll see!

More Toby snuggles and a movie for me tonight after some of my emergency meds to calm down.

❤️ @Zoe7 ….. sleep well Hon. Tomorrow is another day.

Good morning @Zoe7 ,

I hope you enjoyed your movie last night and rested well.

You had a huge day emotionally yesterday and I'm sorry to hear of your argument with your mother.

Well done though in completing so many tasks and your patience with this bloody plumbing dilemma you have going on.

Is it vet today too for Toby ?

Thinking of you and sending you hugs.

🐕💞🌹

@Zoe7

Thanks for your warm encouragement.

It has/is really helpful 😊

Yes vet for Tobes this afternoon @Former-Member I don't feel like doing anything at present so staying in my pjs until I need to take him. Have a headache and very tired so taking it easy. I will try to do some school work when I get back from the vet but outside stuff can all wait.

@Faith-and-Hope I have a list of things needing to be done (on my whiteboard) but have turned it around - just cannot be bothered still today. The priority at present needs to be work for school otherwise I will go back next week totally unprepared and behind with everything. If I can catch up now it will mean less stress and more time to do those other things gradually. In a really nice moment I receive a video message from one of my students this morning - she is sad that there are 6 days left before she comes back to school (Monday is a student free day) because she misses me and wants to see me sooner ...how totally gorgeous is that!

@Snowie How did your psych appointment go yesterday Hon?

Hi @Zoe7 ,

Hope Tobes goes ok....and the vet doesn't break your budget.

But more importantly my thoughts are with you.

Sounds like you are exhausted. Hopefully you get a chance to rest up during the day.

Your pupil sound adorable and I hope you have enough time to get done what you need to between now and next Tuesday.

You are such a sweet 💓 I wish my daughter ( all grown up now ) had of been one of your pupils.

I hope the weather is a little friendly down there today. We actually have a nice day here. Cold only 13 but nice and sunny.

Thinking of you and hoping your day picks up for you. Hugs to you.

Hi to @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @Eve7 @Snowie

Good afternoon all @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7 @Eve7 @Shaz51 and anyone else around.

@Former-Member so glad to see you around on the forum. I hope today has been good for you

@Zoe7 sounds like you have needed the rest hon. I hope you were able to find some comforting things to do today.

Psych appt. went ok. Was a hard session.

Sending lots of love to all 💗💗
