Am Not Coping

Good morning @Zoe7 .... 👋🦋💕

I have been up “early” taking photos for a photography assignment ......

Now this is going to b interesting. It’s likely I am going to get back to the classroom with a bunch of stuff that doesn’t mean much to anyone else ..... because it caught my imagination in the moment, but just looks like buildings and birds to others ..... lol .....

Here is one I took on my phone last week:

Of course the phone has an auto-edit feature, so it doesn’t count for class .... the photo taken with the class camera is a lot more hard work to sort out to look like this .....

Love the photo @Faith-and-Hope - a garden for you and the lights are beautiful. Love that you have captured the old and the new of the city as well - very cool

How are you going with the class camera - getting the hang of it yet?

Very basically @Zoe7 .... but D3 will give me lessons in it, and Photoshop, apart from what we are learning in class.

How did you sleep ?

It took sometime to get to sleep but I finally did and had about 5 hours - have dozed on and off for another couple of hours this morning. I am still very tired but that is to be expected. I was feeling pretty emotions last night and trying to stay on top of it - didn't do a good job though - lots of tears! @Faith-and-Hope

How are you doing today? Whst are you plans for the weekend?

In the hope that she can still get into art school I am going to take D3 out and about a bit today .... visit the library to get her signed up, and showing her what facilities they have available there. I will see if she is prepared to do some catch-up work in terms of what we have been learning in class, so if she is starting this week she is coming up to speed.

Also looking for a hairdresser for her, for her curly-Sue hair.

And maybe visiting some galleries .....

She says Hi 👋

Hi back to D3 @Faith-and-Hope

I really hope she gets in and it is great that you are helping her catch up a little for what you have already done. It is even better than D3 is wanting to do all this - that is super exciting that she has the motivation back for uni

It souonds like the kind of weekend that you will both enjoy - so wish I was there with you both doing the same

I am not in the right frame of mind to do much myself today though so I am not going to push it - feeling pretty exhausted so going to rest up so I can watch the footy tonight. There may be a game on this afternoon I can watch also - haven't looked yet though!

Considering where D3 was “at” two months ago @Zoe7, it’s astounding, and finding a focus seems to have been so much a part of it.

The game I went to last week was a good one. Our team won, but the game itself was fully engaged and exciting .....

Heading off for a bit now, but I will be around today 🤗💕

I saw the beginning of that game and the last quarter - I was really plesed they won for you all @Faith-and-Hope

It is great how far D3 has come in that time - I think you beginning study has been a big factor in that - she can see your motivation and excitment and that has helped her find hers also.

Big hugs to you both - I will be around on and off myself but will keep an eye out for you - have a great day Hon

Have found a spot with some sunshine and by some water for lunch @Zoe7 .... after a really cloudy start it has turned into a glorious day here .....

👋💕 @outlander @Sans911 @Snowie @Former-Member @Pepsimax .... welcome to the forums @Poppyfriend543 ..... 🌷

And @NatalieS .... just saw you there too ....

I have been watching something I recorded yesterday whilst snuggled up with Toby - it has been relaxing and I feel a little better - still not great but any improvement is good.

Glad you have found a nice spot and to be by the river is a bonus for you @Faith-and-Hope It is cold here again today but the rain has stopped. I really need to cut the grass but it is still far too wet to do that - maybe it will dry out a bit by tomorrow and I can do it then.

Have you been to any galleries yet today?
