Am Not Coping

No good re toothache @Zoe7

My lavender bushes never survive. What am I doing wrong? 🤔:face_with_rolling_eyes:😏

Are you enjoying your car @outlander

Back later

It seems like we are all having a Sunday when we need to take care of ourselves a little more than usual @Former-Member - I hate those nights when you have bad dreams and have to deal with theaftermath the next day in terms of anxiety or not knowing what is real or not.Totally sucks Hon. Take it easy today and just let the day happen around you - sounds like a rest day is on the cards.

I have founf the trick with lavender is not letting it grow too big before you cut it back - allows continuous regrowth to develop and a bushier plant. It also needs plenty of water - if it dries out too much it won't prosper.

They don’t grow enough to trim, lol. @Zoe7

Ive had a few in pots and planted a couple. Made sure they’re watered etc. no luck.

Maybe I over watered. Not sure. Reluctant to buy another one. I love lavender.

Yes, still feel quite disturbed re dreams.

They can get root-bound in pots @Former-Member and need a well drained position in the garden. They aren't always easy to keep - depends on the weather and soil as much as how well they are looked after. I have 2 in my garden - one grows really well and the other needs constant care - so they can be temperamental. I do love lavender though so have persisted with them.

Those disturbing dreams can completely wreck our days @Former-Member - I totally get how you would be feeling. I woke with a nightmare last night but managed to settle and get back to sleep - I don't have too much residual fear this morning which is great because it usually adversely affects me during the next day to a large extent.

@Former-Member @outlander Going to head off and see if I can get some things done - will catch up with you later

Oh ok, they don’t like pots.

Im heading off now too.

Might catch you later @Zoe7

👋💖🦋

Yes, they seemed to have affected my whole day unfortunately @outlander

Intense feelings/emotions of anger, depression, you name it.

It took me all day to get out the door to sweep the pergola and wipe down table etc out there. I had to force myself just a short while ago, before it got dark.

It somehow breaks a bit of the depression pushing through sometimes. Boy it’s hard to do some days.

Feel very slightly better for doing it.

I read that you had a family get together today. Ugh! Good on you for going. I refuse to join my family for anything. It’s way too stressful. I just can’t do it anymore. It used to affect me for days 💜💖

Good evening to you @Zoe7 👀👋💜🦋

Just had piklets for dinner. Roast lamb and veggies for lunch.

Grrr! To those dreams, hey! 😫😳😢☹️

Yummy @Former-Member Roat lamb and veggies for luch reminds me of Sunday lunches with my grandparents - I loved those days. Pikelets for dinner is perfect also - something light but filling.

The painkillers are helping with my toothache - just need to get through tonight and hopefully get an appointment tomorrow. I also have my gp which I can't miss this week - we need to keep an eye on my blood pressure again as it was a little low last week - that was causing me some dizziness when I stood up too quick.

Do you have any plans for tomorrow? How is D?

Good luck with the dentist @Zoe7

A place I avoid unless absolutely necessary. Did have a check up over a year ago. Should go.

Hopefully your tooth isn’t too bad and can be fixed without stress.

D has been out all day and probably home late.

She really needs to rest in between, but I can only encourage and leave it up to her. It’s a worry at times when she goes out too long. She chooses to forget to be careful.

No plans yet. Find it hard to plan unless I have to. Getting up and dressed is my plan, lol
