Am Not Coping

I would @Faith-and-Hope but my printer has died and I don't have the energy or motivation to paint something for him. I'll have a look at another newsagents in the morning before I go to Bunnings.

Hi @Pepsimax ... 👋💕

I haven’t got to all my notifications yet, so it’s lovely that I have caught up with you here .....

@Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7 sounds like your enjoying your course a lot of work though

Yes @Pepsimax, it’s a lot of work, but it’s the sort of artwork I do anyway, so it’s what I would be doing for my employment if I was working ..... and I love it .....

Hi @Faith-and-Hope I have had a terrible afternoon - feeling sick, horrible headache and tears again. I am planning on taking meds early and hoping for an early night. There is some sport on tonight to have on in the background but certainly not up for concentrating on it all. Hoping you will be around a little tonight but if you have work to do I completely understand. Did you get your craft supplies today? Have you started your presentation with the cards yet?

Hi @Zoe7 .... 👋💕

Hugs for the way you are feeling Hon.

It’s a beading-based art presentation @Zoe7, and yes, I picked up the materials. This supply store is limited though, so I am going to have to search further afield for more supplies progressively. What I have got will do nicely for now though.

Didn’t find the Strandbeest model, but I am thinking a book about them will be better. The models I have found online are eye-wateringly expensive .....

I am watching Photoshop tutorials, but I am around .....

I have been looking for you across the afternoon (really proud of you for staying connected).and dropping Likes in so you know when I am around.

A book about the Strandbeest models sounds like a great idea for your brother @Faith-and-Hope

I have spent most of the afternoon laying down - lots of tears which have not heled with my headache. The pain killers haven't helped - I think the only thing that will help will be sleep. I really need that tonight.

I have to go to my parents' place tomorrow for Father's day - will need to leave home around 9.30 but I have still been waking up early so that shouldn't be a problem. I know I will be tired when I get home - hoping I won't be there too long - not having lunch ...just taking Dad somewhere local for a coffee. I am definitely not looking forward to it and it means I can't go to the pool because the pool closes at 12noon. Just another day to get through

Yes, I hope you do sleep tonight @Zoe7, so there can be some enjoyment in that coffee tomorrow, but it does sound like a short visit is all you will manage.

We are going out for dinner, and I will call my Dad, but I intend to visit him for a few days in a couple of weeks time, so I will take him something then.

I thought it might be getting close to when you go back west again @Faith-and-Hope and it will be wonderful spending a few days with your dad then.

It is school holidays here too in a few weeks - I was hoping to be able to get the volunteering days sorted and started before then but with the way I am going it may not be until next term now. It sucks but I need to be capable of being there and I am quite obviously not right now. It does make me feel like I am failing at one of my goals but there is nothing more I can do if I am not ready. I will wait until I see my gp on Monday and see what she says first though ...and I know I need time to get over all this - just how much time is what is up in the air.

I will be walking along with you @Zoe7, and hopefully you will begin to bounce back again soon .... 💚🦋💕
