Far and Away

No words needed @frog - your presence is enough - so lovely to see you here Hon

@Zoe7 Bring on Thursday! Will be sitting on a comfy couch in front of the tele to watch day one of the Boxing Day test. And forget that Christmas even exists. 💕

Hi @utopia ... gosh you poor thing ... hope they can sort out why you have having blood clots and strokes. Dangerous stuff. So glad you have recovered so well from your last stroke. Just need to prevent it happening again.

Hello @frog 🐸 @Owlunar 🦉 sending love across the seas to @Faith-and-Hope 💖⛵

@Former-Member, , @frog

Probably this time of year @Shaz51 and into January - nice weather and plenty happening - especially on the waterfront in Hobart.

@Zoe7 Sounds like things are moving in a more positive direction for you which is fantastic. So glad Cat and Toby are doing well too. ❤️❤️

Hi @Zoe7 and belated thanks for your update. I think of you often with love xx It's 3.30 am and I don't have a lot of words. Have been posting my updates on the A long rave thread. Do take care of you through this busy period - you've got this!

Christmas shopping done - presents and groceries 👍😁

Went to meet my Mum today to help her with hers - meant a couple of trips into the city as I had already been in to look for something for Mum for my sister - no luck there but we did find most things she wanted in the smaller shopping centre. Then another trip into the city with Mum as she doesn't like to drive amongst the traffic - another success - she got something else she had seen last week when it was less busy.

It was good for me too as I could 'spy' on her and get some things for Dad to give to her before I meet him tomorrow morning to do his shopping. Christmas is covered but he still needs to get something for her birthday so it shouldn't be a huge chunk of time to do that. Then I have to go to my Mum's work to print out some photos of my sister's cat to put in the frame I got her - could do it on my printer but much better quality at the one at school. Mum still has the keys as she doesn't officially finish until the 24th. Hoping I can also get some stuff organised tonight for next year also so I can print that out ahead of time.

GP appointment tomorrow afternoon - is going to be a difficult one but needs to be done. It is good that I have no other added stress with all the shopping done so I can concentrate on self-care after the appointment and then Tuesday will be cleaning up and getting things prepared for Christmas day. I will most likely give Toby a haircut and bath tomorrow when I get home to keep my mind on him and reduce any anxiety I will be feeling (know that will happen so anything that helps is a good thing).

Going to feed the babies, then myself and start cleaning up tonight. The spare room is a mess so need to sort that out first then can store everything in there for the next few days. If I can get that done at least tonight then it will give me a clear run on Tuesday to clean the dining room, loungeroom and kitchen in preparation for setting up for Christmas day. All very do-able but will take time.

Much love being sent to everyone and some extra big squishy hugs to @Faith-and-Hope - miss you so much Hon ...not long before you are home and I am sooooo looking forward to that 🌹💕😘

@Zoe7 Reading your post had my head spinning, as it has done many times reading posts from @Faith-and-Hope . Phew. I really hope you manage some rest.

I will certainly be thinking of you with you difficult appointment tomorrow afternoon. It’s really good you plan to spend time handsomeing up Toby, though I think he is always cute, long or short hair. 🐶🐶

Not many sleeps left til the big day now. 🎁🎁🎉🎉🎊🎊❤️💛💚

Left at 10am and got home just after 4pm @Maggie so a very long day for a Sunday ...lots of driving but I did enjoy the time with my Mum - which I don't always do - so that was a huge bonus.

Fur babies and myself fed already and just chillin' for a little while until I begin tackling the spare room. Cat is happily laying outside under the tree and Toby has joined her laying on the grass. No doubt he will try to 'help' me organise the spare room so that could be fun to do. His daytime bed is in there too so hopefully he won't 'help' too much and take himself off to his bed to supervise lol

I won't be cutting much of Toby's hair - mainly around his eyes and face ...I agree he is pretty cute with long or shorter hair but I like him with the longer hair around his body - as one person described him from work ...he is like a fluffy little white mop 😁

How is your beautiful little fur baby?
