Am Not Coping

It sounds like things are really full on for you at the moment @Shaz51 - I wish everything was easier for you my sister

I planted my pink Azalea in my special corner today @Faith-and-Hope - it stands out amongst all the greenery - that one I bought to remind me of you Hon so it is a bit special to me - the trick now is to keep it alive...watering it will help lol

I'm going to doa few things but will keep my eye out for you tonight - I know you have a lot to do so look forward to you popping in when you can

I guess today is my day @Faith-and-Hope@Zoe7@Shaz51@Snowie

I hate walking on eggshells and it’s been one of those days.

I’v been working all day. Go to Telstra and sit there for a few hours... nothing achieved with that adventure, then come home and surprise surprise he has run out of pot again!

Then come the snide comments and bad mood😔 Even cooked tea with the phone still attached to my head trying to sort out Telstra while the ranting began.

it is really tiring and an absolute relief when he goes off to bed 🛏.

gives me time to breathe and decompress.

That was my day in a nutshell 🥜.

I sincerely hope you had a better day than that 💐❤️

Hi @Zoe7 ... guessing I have missed you tonight. I have had a lot to do, and it didn't sort out easily. Had to email info to other group members, and encountered technology hitches in the process, but I also learned more about my computer in the fixing of them .....

I won't finish everything I set out to do tonight, but that's okay .... I have set up activities I can go on with tomorrow, and there are going to be tech guys in the art space setting up wifi connection, which will be great, cos at the moment I am having to use my computer in the "home" unit. That means my work is spread between the two, until tomorrow ...... 👍

The Azalea sound so beautiful @Zoe7 .... thank you, thank you, thank you ..... I so appreciate having a virtual garden when I have lost one of my own that was a joy to me. I hope you sleep well tonight. I will have to find my bed shortly. It's late again, moreso for daylight saving having started .....

Hi @Nay69 .... yeah, I know how sucky that can be ..... hugs 💜

Today was a mixed bag for me. One of our group members had a melt-down .... at the rest of us .... for mystery expectations they hadn't really explained .... and they were very aggressive and controlling. It's hard to be empathetic and reach out to someone who is lashing out at you, and our teacher took their side when they presented as having been victimised ..... it's one of those situations where the more you say to try to fix things, the worse the entanglement becomes.

Then I left my notes in the lecture room, having been so emotionally distracted, and had to wait out the next two hour class to retrieve them.

Then I dropped my bag of shopping while boarding a tram and watched it slide down the stairs just as the tram doors closed and the tram pulled away ..... gah !!

Then a hero arrived .... a cyclist saw what had happened, retieved the bag, caught up with the tram when it stopped at a red light, and passed my bag in through the window for other passengers to pass down the tram to me .... what a honey !! By the time the tram stopped at the next station, the cyclist was long gone, so I couldn't even thank him properly .... but good Samaritans exist .... they do .... 💕

wow what a big day you had yesterday Hon - so much to deal with @Faith-and-Hope

It is lovely to hear that there are good people out there and your bag was returned to you on the tram - such a wonderful good news story

It will be great to have wifi in the flat - will make it so much easier to get things done and also stay connected here (that I certainly like the sound of )

I didn't get to sleep until late and lept in this morning until my fur babies finlly woke me up. Cat came up onto the bed to tslk to me lol snd Toby then began to jump up on the side of the bed to do the same - they were quite persistent

I am not in the mood for the pool today so will need to drag myself there - even if I just walk and float today that will be enough.

What are your plans for today after the wifi is installed?

Wise words ❤️

Love that your fur-babies came to wake you up @Zoe7 ..... 💚

I hope you do get to the pool. Even in the days where it feels like a chore, it’s good for you and it’s getting you well.

Hi @oceangirl ..... 👋💕

I have a lot to organise for uni. There are things we are discussing in class that we then have to document, and I haven’t done the documenting yet ..... so I need to pick that up before it gets away from me.

We also need to keep playing with art styles to learn from them, and I haven’t been doing much of that lately either ..... and I have a write up to do on a new assignment .....

Then there is the getting to Bunnings, which still hasn’t happened and it needs to be today, and the kids want a games night tonight, even though mr. won’t be here for the next couple of days.

I have been waiting for the daytime stuff to settle before getting into my work, but it has meant very late nights for a while. My body clock still seems to be on western time. Have to start fixing that too.

I made it to the pool @Faith-and-Hope - did my exercises and then floated around for a while just relaxing. There were a lot of people there today so space was limited to begin with then when a lot left I could relax more. It was a real struggle to get there today but I did it and pleased I did

I have already had lunch, put a load of washing on and tidied up a little. Will try to do some more later but for now resting.

Cat was pretty persistent this morning - she jumped on the bed a few times and meowed. I woke having her little face peering at me from one direction and Toby's from another. They were not taking much notice of each other but definitely wanted me to get up lol - Pretty nice way to wake up really

You certainly have a lot to get done Hon - but I am confident you will do it all. Great that you have wifi in the art space now too - that should help you out with looking up things.

Just take in one step at a time and one thing at a time - get that done and then move on to the next thing. If it was me I would head out to Bunnings straight away and pick up what you need then you have the rest of the afternoon to get immersed in your work. The kids want to spend time with you which is lovely Hon - but I can see that you have a lot to do and it may mean another super late night for you - that is not ideal for your health either. I hope your body clock re-adjusts quickly and you can start sleeping earlier - look after yourself Hon

@Zoe7 .... 🤣

@Faith-and-Hope For when you pop in here Hon
