Far and Away

@Zoe7You are in my thoughts. I have few words atm, sorry, but very much thinking of you. 💜💜💜

What a beautiful butterfly @Maggie ... I am thinking of you too Maggie and hoping you can find a way out of your cave soon.

Good morning @Zoe7 ... Really hope you managed to get some decent sleep and that you are feeling much better today. My thoughts are very much with you ... sending much love your way.

Waves to @Faith-and-Hope ... home soon ... yippeee!

Good morning @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @Scarecrowe @Maggie @Sans911 and others passing by here...

I did get some sleep and no more of those horrible nightmares. Woke a few times but managed to get back to sleep pretty quickly. I think it was the pain killers last night that made me feel so sick - possibly had too many too soon - have had that reaction before - hadn't eaten because of the ongoing nausea so that could have been a contributing factor also.

Much better this morning - the horrible sick feeling from the nightmare yesterday has passed, as has the headache - so 👍👍 for both. I am thinking I might have a shower soon and head into the city to have a look around before I go in with Mum this week - would make it easier if I have an idea where to go and what I would like her to get me beforehand. I have a tentative plan with my sister to head to the beach this afternoon with our dogs but that depends on when she goes to their shack to clean up a bit. It is actually a large shed on a large block near the beach with a fully functional kitchen, bathroom and separate bedroom and loung area. It has been well set out and is quite comfortable for some time away. They use it a lot over the summer but there is cleaning and organising to do to get it ready to use when they want to as it is not used at all over winter. It is a five minute walk to the beach - where dogs are also allowed - so it is a great place for a getaway. I go down occasionally for a day trip with Toby as apart from the beach the whole block is fully fenced and he can wander around as he likes.

Thank you @Former-Member @Maggie for the beautiful images and concern - I wasn't in a good way at all yesterday and last night but I also knew it would pass and I just needed to get through ...makes it just that little bit easier with support from you guys (and @Sans911 included here also ) Feeling relieved this morning that it has passed and that there were no more nightmares last night - to be honest I did not expect it to be a good night to not have any more nightmares is a real bonus.

@Former-Member Thank you so much for letting me know you are okay Hon - I was really worried for you last night ....and your Sixers won in a thriller I saw - a super over hey ...how exciting.

@Maggie No words needed sweetheart - just having you around is enough. Very much reciprocting that love and care for you too Hon

@Faith-and-Hope The year is nearly finished and that means it is even closer to your return ...can't wait Hon - miss you, love you and very much looking forward to having you back with us

Ohhh tender hugs my sister @Zoe7

Hello @Faith-and-Hope , @Former-Member , @Maggie , @Sans911 xx

@Former-Member , revisiting places , the places have had changes or looks different

Mr shaz does not like changes and finds it hard

It has caught up as mr shaz slept for 13 hours last night so rest day today

And we have visitors coming to see us here today

Showered, dressed and nearly ready to head off into the city for a while @Shaz51 Going to do some pre-shopping shopping - Mum is going to take me shopping this week but will look for things myself today to make it easier when she comes too. She is not a fan of the city so the less time we spend there together the better for her.

I hope you enjoy catching up with friends today. Take care my sister

Hiya @Zoe7 and to everyone else here today.

So glad you are feeling better my friend. I was a bit worried about you last night. Yes taking tablets with no food can make you feel yukky at times.

And great to hear no nightmares too.

Had a bad day then went downhill really quickly last night @Scarecrowe - all good now 👍 Feeling much better with sleep and no more nightmares. Also dragged myself into the shower and went out for a while into the city. Found some new shoes, jeans, pants and a couple of tops for work - so was a really productive trip. Ordered a couple of things online as they didn't have them in store so will get those before I go back to work. Now just need to hit up my Mum for the money I spent ...will save her a trip into the city though so she should be pleased about that.

Also did some grocery shopping - need to put that all away then will settle down to watch the test match this afternoon. Haven't heard from my sister yet so no idea if she wants to go to the beach with Toby and I ...but it is still early as we didn't plan on going until later this afternoon if we go.

You had a very productive shopping morning @Zoe7

That is one thing I hate doing.............shopping........was not born with the 'girl shopping gene' lol.

Hoping you and Toby get to have your walk on the beach before the day is out.

Don't think we will get to the beach now - getting too late for me to want to move far from home @Scarecrowe Haven't heard from my sister so she must have got stuck at the block longer than she wanted.

I don't mind shopping but it is not something I do often - not the kind of person that buys things regularly - stick to things I like and wear them until they are worn out lol This shopping trip was more out of necessity than pleasure - too many things don't fit me at the moment so definitely needed some more clothes. Need to have a big cleanout of things I have been hanging onto as well - some haven't fitted me for years or are in that 'worn out' category.

Shame you won't get to the beach @Zoe7 but it does sound like your sister had a bit of work to do cleaning up.

You are like me, wear clothes until they are worn out before I go shopping again lol.

That is why I start my xmas shopping in October and finish it by the first week in December at the very lastest........I want to get it over and done with and I want to avoid the crowds lol.

I put up with shopping crowds at work, I don't want to put up with when I am not at work lol.
