Far and Away

Good morning @Faith-and-Hope @Sans911 @eth @Former-Member @Teej and all passing through...

Hope you find the house suitable @Faith-and-Hope A big decision that I am sure you will approach in your usual objective way. Hugs Hon

Good morning @Zoe7 ... lovely to hear from you. How are you doing today?

Hey guess what? I just finished booking my train tickets to visit family! Leaving at midnight on 18th June and arriving at my destination a little over 12 hours later, ie lunchtime with family. I feel much relieved that the decision is made, I feel lighter. I know its going to be a difficult visit, but it will also be a break of sorts. Much to do there in trying to instigate and set in motion some home care arrangements for my parents. It was October last year that I saw them last. And that was when Dad was terribly ill after a stroke. Now its Mum who is the main concern, with continuing physical and mental decline. So it will be a matter of somehow getting them to accept some help in the home, and not keep cancelling our efforts to get them help. This afternoon I see my psych. Still not sure how much to tell her. But I also know she will likely ask the relevant questions and I cannot lie to her. 🤔 Zoe I hope you are having a restful day? I think you planned a day of sleeping, I hope you can do that. Its another foul weather day here, cold and windy ... perfect to be under the doona.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope ... I too hope that the house you are inspecting today turns out to be perfectly suitable for your needs and comfort. Fingers crossed for you. Yes .. huge decision, but likely one which will prove to be a settling option. Finally somewhere you can make your home once again. The rushed countdown to your overseas visit must seem daunting. I'm feeling that already about my upcoming trip away to visit family, and thats only for 6 days. But there is still so much I need to get done and prepared before I leave. You're amazing .. honestly. 🌸

Hello also to @Sans911 @oceangirl @Teej @eth I hope your days are bright.

Sherry 💕

I am really pleased that you have booked everything @Former-Member I do know it is going to be a hard and busy visit for you but you really do need the break from home right now. I think you have your psych today so hope that goes well.

@Faith-and-Hope @Sans911 I have made the call to my mum and asked to borrow some money. That is never an easy call to make but I do not get paid until next Wednesday and I have a couple of important bills I need to pay before then. This last month has really been difficult - everything has seemed to come in at once. She is happy to help out though which is such a relief. I will be able to pay her back if I work the next 4 Wednesdays. It is going to be a rela struggle for me to not have the day off but I really need the money to try to get back on top of things. I also need to take both fur babies to the vet for their annual check ups and vaccinations.

Feeling really flat still and have slept most of the day so far. My teeth are causing me grief as well but I have the ABs again so hoping that and the pain killers will ease the pain again really soon.

I am going to attempt to clean up a little this afternoon in between more sleeping. I need to get a couple of things from the shop but thinking I will do that tomorrow after work now. I still have veggies I can cook and mash up so they aren't too hard to chew.

Hope you are all having some light in your day

@Faith-and-Hope Waiting to hear about the house also Hon

My answer is yes to the new living space @Zoe7 ..... have to see if it happens now, and what sort of time we can buy for problems to be fixed before moving in ......

Hi everyone 👋💕

Fly-by here cos I’m under the pump today .....

Glad the new living space is a yes and hope you can get everything done that needs to be done without too much fuss @Faith-and-Hope

Getting things ticked off the to-do list @Zoe7 ..... there are some things I can do via internet later (think I have already mentioned ?) but there are a lot of physical artworks that need to be put in place before I go .....

I hope you have managed some more rest this afternoon. Did you get more AB’s today ?

Great to hear you are getting things ticked off your list @Faith-and-Hope and yes you did mention there are some things you can do via the internet later - hope you can get most accomplished before you have to leave to go West though.

I did get some more ABs today. That is all I have done. Spent all day on the couch either sleeping or resting - still needing pain killers. Have watched a little tv also between sleeps. Going to do much the same tonight as I don't feel like doing anything. These new meds better kick in soon because I can feel things getting away from me again. I don't want to do anything but sleep.

Sleep is probably the strongest healing agent for your teeth @Zoe7, along with the antibiotics ...... inthis day if advanced medicines we can forget that ..... it’s important to rest when we are physically or emotionally unwell. I am very glad to hear you have been resting for most of the day. It might be to morrow that you wake up with more energy, and then more will get done ....

I hope so because I am struggling with everything atm @Faith-and-Hope I have to get to work and manage to get through that tomorrow. One day at a time

Will you be working on your uni work tonight?
