Far and Away

Have not seen @Faith-and-Hope , @Zoe7 for a while @Snowie

Hope they are OK xx

@Snowie @Shaz51 @Zoe7 @Appleblossom @tyme ……. Hi my sweethearts 💕💕💕

It’s been a really tough year, and I have been running like mad to keep up. Don’t want to go into much detail cos it can be identifying, but there has been illness, injury, clashing commitments …… so many ups and downs I am dizzy. I have made it through the academic year, but found some feedback difficult and emotionally bruising, and it felt really unnecessary for that one person to have been so harsh. It was not the opinion of everybody else, and I am keeping my head above water by emotionally blocking that person. Struggling with a cold that is not leaving easily, which tells me I am run down, so piling on as much self-care as I can. I will take a lengthy break now and just rest, restore, go-slow.

i expect to be more present on the forums again soon. Hope y’all are doing okay 🌷

soo lovely to see you @Faith-and-Hope

sending you lots of hugs and sitting with you my friend xx😍

i agree it has been a crazy year for me too

@Snowie , @Zoe7 , @Appleblossom

I'm glad that you can take a break, hoping that it helps for the new year.

@Faith-and-Hope

I am so sorry to hear

"...but there has been illness, injury, clashing commitments …… so many ups and downs I am dizzy. "

I can relate.

Re study:

I used to put academics on a pedestal in my first undergrad. SInce then I have socialised with them a bit and married into the family of one. Hmmm. They definitely have their biases and limitations.

@Snowie @Zoe7 @Shaz51

Happy Birthday @Zoe7 😍

@Appleblossom , @Faith-and-Hope , @Snowie , @tyme

Happy Birthday @Zoe7

I hope you have a nice day

You must be so busy with this time of year with classes finishing, end of year things, report writing. I hope you can give some time to yourself.

@Zoe7 Hugs and walking along with you. Hope fur family is good. Happy Birthday, and do enjoy your holidays. I miss our chats, but love that you are in the real world, teaching and doing what you love.

@Faith-and-Hope @Snowie @Shaz51 @tyme

Happy (belated) Birthday @Zoe7

I hope it was a lovely day in the classroom ❣️ and you get some you-time this weekend. Nearly the end of the school year (or did you finish on Friday ?). Either way, give those fur babies a cuddle and know your forum friends are holding you close in thought.

💖🌸 @Appleblossom - yes, it can be easy to hold academics up in a pedestal, but believe me, some of them belong anywhere but !! Thankfully I have come across very few of those ….

😘💕 @Snowie @Shaz51
