Am Not Coping

Good morning @Zoe7 and anyone else around .... 👋🦋💕

We have a totally windy day ahead of us here apparently.

Enjoy the garden @Zoe7.

I got a lot of visual diary work done last night, which I am really happy about. Slow to get up and going this morning though .... lol

Might need to start with a coffee .....

Seems like you had a productive night with your visual diary work @Faith-and-Hope wtg

I might even get out of my jammies today lol

I will take it easy with the weeding - there is lot that needs to be done but if I tackle it in patches then I should get a fair bit of it done across the day.

I also have to make my soup today but that can wait until later when it is getting dark.

You might need 2 coffees to get you started today lol

I just might @Zoe7 ....

Better get up and go ..... no jammies in church ... lol

So releaved to see a forum friend check in, even though in turmoil ..... 😔💕

Yes relieved here also @Faith-and-Hope but saddened by how hard she is doing it atm - feel for her and know how tough it is to be in that position. All we can hope for is she finds the support she needs and comes back to us in time when she feels she is able to - it is definitely times like this that we wish we could do more

I hope you have a great day Hon - will look in on you across the day when I have breaks from the gardening

ooh a visit from CB - just saw a rainbow flash before my eyes with your presence @CheerBear

I am doing okay CB - have had a headache for a few days but pretty sure it is the new meds - it should settle once my body gets used to them. Been trying to do some gardening today - done a fair bit of weeding and vutting back some of my rose bushes - there is a lot left to do but waiting for pain meds to kick in to get back out there ...also have the slight problem of one little fluffball being sound asleep next to me and we all know I won't disturb him lol

How is life in the CB world?

I planted a potted garden with herbs @CheerBear - just as much for @Faith-and-Hope as for myself. She is losing her garden in the west and doesn't have one in the east so I planted a variety of herbs in pots and posted the intial photo about a week ago - I will post new photos when they start growing a bit more. I got a variety of seedlings and also planted some seeds so we get ongoing growth over the coming months. I have placed the pots right next to my back door so I don't forget to water them lol

I have lots of roses in my garden and lavendar and a beautiful lemon tree that gives fruit all year round - never have to buy a lemon here! I give a lot away to my gp as I can't use them all myself and she uses a lot of lemons.

I am trying to find a better balance in my life also - it is hard work but will be worth it in the long-run. I need to do it to be able to return to work. I also have the problem with overdoing things at times but going to the pool is something I am getting more into and really enjoying - just need to make sure I don't do too much otherwise when I get home I am exhausted and need to sleep - not sleeping during the day is something we are working on with tweaks in my night meds.

How are the little fish - still keeping you busy?

Nice to hear about your little fish @CheerBear I will definitely say high to Toby for you (pretty easy to do as he is still right next to me lol).

Enjoy your gardening Hon - I have some washing on and when that is finished I will try to get outside again - my headache has eased - yea!

Lovely chatting to you too - I always love my CB time
