Hey @Zoe7! A huge welcome back!! So wonderful to see that familiar name pop up again 💛

It is so important to take some breaks/time out. I sent this to a few of my friends this week and might as well post it to everyone here, too 🙂

Great graphic @Peregrinefalcon I was certainly on red 😔 The interesting thing is that I will take a break from work when I can see I am heading up that scale but not so much from here - need to keep that in mind moving forward hey.

It is really good to see you floating around the forums as well 💖

So good to see you @Zoe7 ….. ❤️

My tank has been on empty for some time now, so just sitting in the background and acknowledging where I can.

@Peregrinefalcon

So important to give yourself space to "refuel" 🌻💜 @Faith-and-Hope

I completely understand @Faith-and-Hope You have so much to deal with and it has been so long you have been doing that ...much love to you Hon. Keep floating 💖💖💖

@Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope

Gentlest of hugs.

These bodies of ours. Huh! Ouch! Where is that bliss? lol

Same back to you @Appleblossom I am very much hoping now I have the problem tooth out that the rest of me can heal as well. Had so much pain and so many infections from it and that has affected all parts of my body ...so now the healing begins.

Hello and welcome back @Zoe7 💜💜💜.

You are a treasure. I have missed you very much and from reading the other posts - you are so dearly valued on this forum.

I am so sorry to hear you and your friends have been going through so much.

Thank goodness for the fur babies. Speaking of them my cat just joined me for a quick cuddle before scuttling off to her own secret hiding place under the bed ( at least she thinks she is being mysterious.).

I too face x 2 tooth extractions tomorrow. I hope the removal wasn't too painful for you. I am so pleased though it has left you with minimal pain. Eating will be much easier.i hope you don't have big gaps like I will.

I hope the paving out the front goes well as does your preparation for the school year.

When do you back Zoe 💜 ?

So nice to hear from you again dear friend. 💜 In kindness Maggie xx.

I have a gap at the side @Former-Member but I am going to get a temporary denture until we can do something more permanent. The gap is not worrying me though so not sure how

much I will use the temporary denture. The removal was very painful to start with but the dentist stopped and gave me more anaesthetic ...then it was okay. I still have an infection and my face is still quite swollen but that should dissipate over the next few days. I have lost a lot of weight (which isn't such a bad thing) because I have not been able to eat much. That has no doubt contributed to my all around physical health ...and as we know the mental stuff is so connected ...so it has been tough.

I have stopped the front step - going to run out of mortar and don't feel like a drive today to get more ...so I have finished 2/3s of the step and will do the last bit later (maybe tomorrow or might leave it until Monday when I go back to the dentist).

I have re-arranged Cat's room and put in all Clover's things. I think her going in there was telling me it was time ...and Clover loves it in there. I either find her in that room or outside so it was the right thing to do. I miss my old Cat every day but seeing Clover so happy in that room gave me the push I needed to clean it up. I have folded all Cat's things up and stored them for now - cannot bear to get rid of them 😔

Tobes needs another bath as he has been 'helping' me outside ...but for now he is sound asleep so I will let him be. It is hard work supervising his Mum lol

I have a week and a bit before I am back to work (Monday week). I cannot believe how quickly the time has flown but I have not been able to do a lot so it is going to be a very busy time until I go back. I started organising some things yesterday and am very much behind where I wanted to be but I cannot do anything about it - the pain and physical issues have been too much ...spent most of my time over the last few weeks sleeping when I could and getting through the best I could.

I hope your extractions go much smoother than mine did Hon and your recovery is quick. Let me know how you go tomorrow.

Much love to you - missed you too 💖💖💖
