Far and Away

Hey @Faith-and-Hope I hope you have not been through too much today Hon and looked after yourself in what you expected to be a busy day. I have actually done a lot but none of it too taxing. Finally finished all the hemming and made a cushion for Toby for the car. Did that all whilst watching the tennis so took my time. Also finished designing the classroom sign and daily timetable cards - just need to print them out, laminate them and cut them out. I think I'll take my laminator into work with me as I can do that bit by bit in between getting other things set up.

Still have labels and some posters to do - and will begin them tonight - but won't finish them until tomorrow. I am not going to be up too late - still very tired - but want to watch the cricket before I head to bed. Your niece has taken up residence on the bed the last few days so I am getting extra cuddles in for us both. Hugs from her, Tobes and myself. Hopefully I'll catch you tonight and you can fill me in on your day. Sending love your way in the meantime

Hey @Zoe7 👋 💕 and anyone else around .....

Today was much slower and more gentle for me than yesterday. Got my emails sorted out, which is making me feel a lot better, then took a long drive to visit an old friend in a lovely area I haven't been to for a long time. That felt good too, and gave me some clarity about some other stuff I have to do before leaving here.

I am so glad you got some much needed sleep. That also makes me feel better 😊 .... and the financial support from your Mum is pretty special ❣️ Go you .... getting it all done - woo-hoo.

I have been suer worried about you Hon but it pleases me no end that you have had a quieter day, saw a friend and finally got those emails sorted - a huge day with lots done while also looking after yourself @Faith-and-Hope ...and that makes Me happy 👍

I am watching the cricket tonight and then going to head to bed afterwards - so another relatively early night (considering what the last week has been like). I think I slept for about 13 hours all up last night and this morning - so very much caught up from the last few days. Still tired and achey but another good night tonight should help with that.

I wish I could post here the classroom sign I made - you would love it - filled with our colours and the cutest little owls. I have used the same owls for all other name tags and class organisation things so it will all be the same. Some of that I did in the last week of last year and printed out at Mum's school before she left - so apart from writing names on things, laminating and cutting out they are done.

Mum has already put the money in my account so tomorrow or Monday after school I can go and get some things I need for the classroom. I want to get a couple of plants - I had one but I gave that to my sister to put in the old house while it is on the market. I already have the pots to put them in and it would be nice to have them there on Monday when I set up the classroom. I also have a colourful rug to take in but think it may need cleaning so I can do that Monday also so it will be dry by Wednesday. It is coming together in my head - just need to finish everything off I can over the next 2 days - the rest can wait.

Good night @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope 💤 🌸 😴 💕

Good night sweet @Former-Member Hope you can manage some sleep tonight Hon

Time for this little flutterby to hang up her wings also and snuggle in with Toby.

Goodnight @Faith-and-Hope

Goodnight from me too sweet @Former-Member .... and to you @Zoe7. I hope you both sleep well.

I don't think I will be too far behind tonight. I took myself out for dinner (up the road) and have brought some back for my girls.

D3 is not in a great way, but it is reassuring that she will be starting with a psych this week who is already aware of our situation.

The change in circumstances appears to be bringing more people on board to help us, which I hope is a very good thing.

Good morning @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7 @Former-Member @utopia @Snowie sounds like everyone could do with a day of rest today. Hope it works out well.

Faith it's good to hear people are coming on board to help you through this time. You deserve it. You're doing an amazing job of working your way through the necessary changes and supporting the baby dragons at the same time.

@Zoe7 hoping you're not coming down with something just before your return to work. That would be awful timing. I agree about getting as much rest as you can between now and then.

Take care all xx

Thanks @eth .... 🌷💕

Hi @Zoe7 🦋💕 (saw you there) and to anyone else around ....

I hope that bringing more people on board that are aware of your situation is a good thing too @Faith-and-Hope Hopefully D3 seeing this psych will help her work through some of this and help her to begin to move forward again. It is certainly not what she needed when she was already struggling within herself but having a pscyh on board as well as your support will be invaluable to her.

I hope you got to sleep early last night - I didn't sleep until nearly 3am - tried a couple of times but just layed there awake - so got up and watched a little tv until I was finally sleepy. Sleeping so long the night and morning yesterday certainly affected tsleep last night but feeling okay today so it is no drama.

Off shortly to the big shopping centre and Bunnings to get some things for school. Going to take Toby with me as I can park undercover at the shopping centre and then he can come in the trolley with me at Bunnings.

The remainder of the day will be sorting stuff for school again - more label and poster design so nothing too taxing ...just time consuming ....hopefully I will get it all done early and then have the evening to myself - that is the plan anyway.

Hope you can have a quieter day today and recover a little from your busy week too. Hugs from us all here 😺🐶💕

@eth Not coming down with anything Hon - just overdid it being up all night again the other night. Feeling much better already today despite not much sleep last night ...planning on getting things done today then resting tonight before hopefully going to bed early.
