Far and Away

Far and Away

Hi @Former-Member .... 😊

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, how's your adventure going? Is there a particular thread your putting updates? Jetlag takes about a week to settle I'm told, and I'm sure there's son Celtic wisdom to get over your post viral fatigue How's WH coping with his obcessive routines while travelling? A challenge I would think 😕 Hope this is a time yo rekindle some first love maybe.
Any good churches to visit there? Did you go this morning? Love ancient architecture and history. Churches are great for it. Hugz xox

Hadn't thought to start a new thread ....

In transit again today and have to go again now .... found a brief moment with wifi .... will catch you later and answer the above.

Hi to everyone else .... 👋🏽💗💕

Re: Far and Away

Going well @Zoe7.

This work is from last semester for a unit that runs the whole year, and we had until the end of the mid-semester break to complete the diary requirements for last semester, but for a variety of reasons, that has been pushed forward a couple of weeks again ..... thankfully, as it suits me and what has been happening since I got back.

I wasn’t sure how much there was to do until I started into it, and I am happy that it will come together nicely by tomorrow night.

The first diary task for this semester isn’t due until next week, so it’s all feeling okay.

Re: Far and Away

That is great that it is manageable with the deadline pushed forward @Faith-and-Hope and that you will be able to get it done by tomorrow night ...alomg with the newer diary task being a week away.

Do you have any plans for tomorrow (apart from visual diary work)?

Re: Far and Away

Church, family lunch, then more diary work @Zoe7 . The weather is a bit wild here tonight, so I hope that settles a bit by tomorrow. Haven’t looked up the weather yet. I am happy to do that in the morning when I wake up. It will be what it will be anyway, so there is no use fretting about it tonight.

Re: Far and Away

We have had a really nice day here today @Faith-and-Hope but are expecting it to be windy tomorrow - must be getting some of your weather heading our way. I am glad I got so much of the outside done today as it doesn't look like I will be able to do anymore tomorrow. Got a few more things done tonight but still more I want to finish before I try for sleep. I need to have tomorrow for planning and I will feel much better about that if I have the house clean. Hope you can finish up and sleep soon too.

Better head off and get things finished. Will check in with you tomorrow. Goodnight Hon

Re: Far and Away

Hi @Zoe7 I actually didnt see all of the Swans game. Had a big big argument with hubby and ended up taking refuge under my doona. But I followed the game on my mobile phone, also your Lions game as well. It must have been an exciting game with your Lions - the lead changed numerous times in the final quarter. And the Lions came back from a deficit earlier. They did really well. The Swans ... well ... sounds like they were competitive, and perhaps a little unlucky in the final minutes not to snatch back a win. Always next weekend. Needless to say, I was not travelling too well last night. I had been trying to write a bit of a tribute to Mum all afternoon. But kept getting disrupted by hubbys needs and demands. So a distinct lack of concentration has not helped the writing. Then as I was serving dinner, a good friend of hubbys phoned from interstate. I was serving dinner, but answered the phone. Said hi and how's things, small talk, typical. And he was not aware of my Mum having died, would not have been interested if he had. I didnt say anything, because clearly he rang to speak to hubby not me, so I said I would put him on. So I handed the phone to hubby, and kept on with what I was doing. After hubby got off the phone he blasted me for not talking to his mate. How rude of me! He said "I will remember this" in a threatening and derisive manner. But did I actually do anything wrong? I was tired, I didnt feel like small talk, he hadnt rung to speak to me. Anyway it escalated into a massive argument. And I feel gutted.

Thanks for the 💕 last night @Faith-and-Hope ... I really needed them.

Today ... trying to get ready for travelling South early on tuesday in preparation for Mums funeral on Friday. So much still to do, just to get hubby organised, let alone anything else. It would be so much easier if I just went by myself. And if I did, I would go by train. But he wants to go, so it means I have to drive the distance. Really not up to it now. Back and shoulder has been playing up worse than usual again, probably stress and tension is not helping. But driving just makes it worse. I am really dreading all the driving. Another concern is that with me feeling as I currently am, it would be so easy just to let go of the wheel and be done with it all. It would be a welcome relief.

Hearing you @Former-Member ..... and familiar with your hubby’s mindset and mood rages, although we have got much less of it going on at the moment. For us, now, it’s random, rarer episodes.

This time will pass Hon. It’s a “walking through the valley” time, and there are future mountaintops to reach where the view is lovely ..... just keep trekking, as we are, along with you.

Hugs n hugs ...... 💜💐💜🌷💜

Re: Far and Away

@Former-Member I know it feels insufferable at the moment Hon and very much hearing how incredibly hard it is. I have very few words that would help but here with you and sending you much love 💜💙💚🧡💛

@Faith-and-Hope 👋💐😍

Re: Far and Away

@Faith-and-Hope The wind has gotten worse today (as expected) but the upside is the washing is dry Been out and got the couple of things I needed. Haven't yet gone to Petbarn to get the different Cat food as I can't afford it until Wednesday so she will have what she usually has for a couple more days ...and I am giving her more biscuits at night also. She is gobbling them all up so her apetite is certainly back.

I was up pretty late myself but didn't get everything finished - will spend the next couple of hours getting the rest of the housework and sorting done then get stuck into the planning for this week. It is a short week as we have a student free day tomorrow and then I have Thursday off - so only 3 days to plan for. Most of this week will be getting to know the kids a bit more, some testing to see where they are all at and getting them settled back in for the term. I am both looking forward to it and extremely nervous. It has been nearly 3 years since I had my own class but I am very much hoping it all 'comes back to me' and I enjoy it like I used to - time will tell on that front I suppose. They are a very sweet class but there are some challenges with a few of the kids - knowing those challenges already should make it a little easier though.

Hope you got to church this morning and the family lunch goes okay. Leaving these here for you to brighten up your day...
