I know @Faith-and-Hope is a big part of your life but you have shown the strenght to carry on which I knew you could xoxoxo

I am feeling tired today xxxx

my D1 partner drinks a bit and he is judged by mr shaz`s family but he loves D1 and supports her in her inherited depression which runs in the family

hello @Adge , @Faith-and-Hope , @Zoe7 , @Bimby2 , @Appleblossom

Hi @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7 @Bimby2 @Appleblossom and all

I miss our @Faith-and-Hope more than I can put into words @Shaz51 but I have had wonderful support from others here including yourself my sister - so whilst it has left a huge gap in my life I am grateful for all the other wonderful people I have here also.

It truly will be a happy day when she is back and I hope it has been a good break for her with many adventures and less stress ...all of which she so deserves.

I hope you are getting some rest this afternoon @Shaz51 and can settle into a quiet and early night. Look after yourself Hon.

It is a long and difficult road to try to control anxiety and depression - as you would well know. Throw in CPTSD and physical conditions and it becomes even harder. Day by day can be a battle but hopefully one I am winning at present. I did go downhill again for a while but very much hoped with the holidays I would have the time and energy to pick up a bit more again - it seems to be working. The occasional nightmare and triggers are wearning on me but having that time to deal with them is helping there also.

Being able to sort of some of my house is also helping. It is a big job but once it is done I will not only be able to find things for work easier but also have a little more space around me.

My little girl has been sick again so will have to take her to the vet this week. It is still mostly fur balls but it has been 4 times in the last 2 weeks so need to get her checked out again. She is also nearly due for her next ultrasound so suspect they will do that all at once. It will mean I will need to leave her for half a day at the clinic as she needs sedation to do the ultrasound - she is a wriggler otherwise.

Toby is good though - sound asleep on the couch after spending a couple of hours at my sister's with me. She has begun packing and moving things to the new house so a lot to do. I'll help her where I can but mostly it is stuff she needs to do herself to be able to sort and then pack or discard as she goes.

Hi @Pepsimax 👋

@Zoe7 you have been busy and still going good on you

Want to get most sorted by the end of this week @Pepsimax so I can start preparing for the first term early.

is there certain foods that Cat eat that upsets her @Zoe7

yes resting this afternoon my sister xx

we are starting to declutter our house

on holidays we stayed at a tiny cottage for 5 nights which was lovely but made us relise we have too much stuff , so bit by bit we will get rid of some things

our customers were soo happy to see us come back again --- but we are not taking on any new jobs

going to try and slow down a bit , but !!!!!!

There are only a couple of brands of cat food she will eat @Shaz51 - have tried different brands before (including one to control fur balls) and she wouldn't touch them.

So much of my stuff is school stuff so whilst it would significantly reduce clutter in my house it has been years and a lot of money to collect ....about a third of it is art related but the other 2/3 are resources (books, games, globes, etc.). I am literally living with a classroom in my house minus furniture LOL

It may be a good thing for both of you that you are slowing down a bit my sister. You have a lot to deal with and I can imagine how tiring your work is - so added stress there too. I am certainly concerned about going back to work fulltime myself but the money will get me back on track again. I need to then save all I can in case of further vet bills ...especially with Cat - knowing that further treatment is more than likely.
