Am Not Coping

Oh @Faith-and-Hope I definitely have the 'tired sillies' happening here!!! I'll have to have another shower soon to wake me up enough to get to my GP app and the chemist.

You will be pleased to know that I have cleaned out a space in the spare room and is nearly ready to set up for painting - yeah. I am going to start with the same image that we both agreed on that you have already started! I agree with @Former-Member it is very 'Waterlillies'-Monet-esque - that makes 3 of us who have the same favourite artist......

You're welcome @utopia, thought you'd appreciate that xox

I'm ok'ish @Faith-and-Hope, unmotivated, withdrawn from nearly everything but have a Shop Shift tomorrow (gonna need pain k'llers to pull that off). Bit down that I can't get on top of my house or bills or friendships. Psychologist Tuesday says to practise looking at these things 'without judgement' and with self compassion - so trying that instead of getting all muddled.

Are you OK? Love your 'stepping stones' the more I look at it. Reminds me that God has gone before me and it will all be OK, just stay on the path 🙂

Hugs @Former-Member

Hi All 🙂

Thought I'd pop in so you can add one more to your list @Zoe7

I have to say I'm enjoying your humour that's coming out in your posts today. Thanks for helping me smile and giggle my way through the afternoon.

A family painting workshop @Faith-and-Hope sounds fun! That would be one big mess if it took place in my house I have two under the age of 8 years and one has a broken arm at the moment, painting would be going everywhere

Wow @Faith-and-Hope that's amazing you are feeling so inspired and challenged yourself to using some new paints and techniques, I will have to check out the paintings on that thread, I do remember seeing one a while back and it was INCREDIBLE

A painting weekend away will be lovely, I'd love to do something like that so I would love to hear all of the details!

haha @Zoe7 I brought the biggest platter of cheese it's going to ruin dinner

@utopia I am laughing so much my eyes are raining and Toby is wondering what the heck is going on!!!

You can have any seat you like as long as I can hav a front seat - don't want to vomit all over everyone - although that might be @utopia's punishment for being picked up before me lol

Cheryl's Dad would probably make us all 'get changed' - and I DON'T DO DRESSES!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe two of the most passionate things in my life are the complete opposite to you - I told you Collingwood was the end of our friendship - now not a fan of Monet (you're dropped!!!!!!!!!)

Just stick some headphones in your ears at the Gallery and pretend you are a teenager - seems earphones and teenagers come as a package deal these days - and you could pretend you don't hear anyone - AND NOTomasz Alen Kopera - you could not pretend you are mute lol

OMG - The Mods are multiplying - it's an invasion - there's more Mods on here atm than members lol

@Former-Member You do realise that I am just extrememly overtired and trying to keep myself awake until I have to go to my appointmnet - I do tend to get a wee bit silly with lack of sleep.

What are you bringing to the party - no plate - no entry - NEW RULE!!!!

@Former-Member Has already brought a huge plate of cheese!!! I have the napkins - we know why!!!! lol

If @CherryBomb is still jumping around she needs to bring something too - I leave that one up to you - I am running out of ideas.

@Former-Member Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo - don't encourage her - I will turn her to Monet - that is my mission - Monet or END OF FRIENDSHIP - you choose @utopia (ps. pleeeeeaaaasssseeee choose Monet and friendship )
