This sounds so much like me @NightFury

@Till23 thank you for sharing. It's a lot and it's tiring. I feel like it's just easier to be a home body.

@NightFury damn! you're stronger than me! my first instinct is to play along with that I'm going to the social occasion, all the while thinking of an excuse to use to cancel at the last minute, I've upset a few people doing this in the last few years. I'd only go if I couldn't come up with a decent excuse or I had no other option.

@Former-Member not strong...just stubborn. I do what helps me to feel safe in social situations. Sounds like you have strategies too.

😂😂 @Former-Member , @NightFury , @Till23 , @Jynx , @rav3n

And the 51 in @Shaz51 is not the year I was born 😁

@NightFury Ahh but you have to be strong to be stubborn, stubbornness to resist requires strength. Stubbornness can be a great tool when it is used for good, such as being too stubborn to give up and let bad people / thoughts / feelings win!

Yeah @Shaz51 I'm wasn't born in 1923 either, in case anyone was wondering 🤣

You would be 102 @Till23 🤣😂

Correct @Shaz51 - I'm not bad with this tech am I 🤣

hey everyone 😊 catching up on here currently

@Shaz51 nice!! I’ll have to try planting lemongrass in the ground next time the weather’s warm enough again, I think the pots I was putting them in previously were probably way too small. hope you can get some really good rest tonight too 💗 glad you got some time and smiles with the precious little one

thanks @Former-Member hope posh melbourne went well! I do try to make sure I have turmeric everyday as I’ve heard the same about inflammation, normally I use a piece of fresh turmeric for making tea but that’s been hard to find at the shops lately, not sure why as I can normally get some pretty easily

sending you and that pandora’s box giant hugs too, it’s truly a big ol’ relatable mood and you’re not alone. can’t believe being born in the 1900s is THAT new measurement now haha, I’m born in the 90s and whenever I get it I’m like whaaaaat? wasn’t I dropping out of school five minutes ago? sorry that was how many years ago? pffft pay no attention to the creaking of my bones!

but hey, just know you’re giving it your best out here. I hope the evening is kind to you 💗

@rav3n yummm white choc mocha sounds amazing! will need to try that

hey @Jynx how are you doing? that sounds so comforting, it was cold here during the day but now the evening has gotten quite warm

did some admin stuff, managed to try and push through getting some cleaning today with my chronic pain and fatigue flaring up. it was hard but got to light a bonfire, good way to get rid of cardboard boxes 🤣

partner, or rather ex partner texted me today. it’s still so fresh I’m not ready to call them an ex just yet. told me he finally got through to someone on the phone and approved for something he was chasing up then asked if there’s any updates on my situation……didn’t know how to react really, but I played nice. maybe too nice but I played nice.

I’m not the best at speaking up for myself when I’ve been hurt, so I’ve been trying to journal how I’m feeling, why the way he went about ending things hurt so much, the impact of his actions, where I felt he could’ve done better, all that sorta stuff.

It’s all over the place at the moment but I’m trying to figure out a way to explain to him why what he did wasn’t okay without sounding like I’m guilt tripping in any way. Regardless of what happens with us I think I at least deserve to voice my feelings and aside from anything else it’s only gonna do him damage as well if he continues to behave that way to others in the future, not to mention the risk of others getting hurt too.

birds have been really active and lively in the neighbourhood today which has been nice and funny to watch
