Am Not Coping

You exist here @TheVorticon, I smile too when I see your name and when you tag me my friend

maybe bing on a thread and tagging people like me and @CheerBear each day , chatting together might help -- I like to do this @TheVorticon if you like too xx

Thanks @CheerBear and @Shaz51. I'm going to sleep now so maybe catch you tomorrow and I'll have a think about your posts.

G'night anyone reading this (and a quick hi-bye-cya to @Zoe7 sorry for disrupting the thread).

You're not disturbing the thread @TheVorticon ....

It's great to see you, and I miss you when you are not here .....

I am sorry you are feeling overlooked and unacknowledged but I am glad you have communicated how you are feeling. That is important, and I hope we can help you feel more included.

Hey @Zoe7 ..... 👋💚💕

I have been looking for you. Are you okay ?

Have you heard back from the HR person ?

Hi @Faith-and-Hope I haven't been great the last couple of days and needed some time out from here also - couldn't support anyone and had nothing I felt I could say myself.

Finally heard from HR this afternoon. The plan is that I will be back at work this week but how that looks is still unknown as the HR person was waiting to hear from the Principal when we could all have a meeting to discuss moving forward. She was hoping to hear from her by this afternoon but could be tomorrow. Either way there is some good news but I am still in the dark as to how this is all going to go. This whole process has really frustrated me but at least it is finally moving forward.

I also have an appointment with the psychologist this Wednesday morning as there was a cancellation - it will mean I miss the first half of DBT but I needed to take the appointment as the one I had was another 6 weeks away.

I will post the painitng on the art thread for you and @CheerBear but won't leave it up permanently.

Hope you have had a good day Hon

Good to hear from you, as always @Zoe7, and I am relieved to hear that there has been some progress on the work front, but I am still really unimpressed that it is being dragged out and you are suffering.

Hold to your brave, because you are going to need that energy to step into that classroom with your creative mind and heart and start doing wonderful things for yourself, and everybody around you. You are a beautiful rainbow, a ray of sunshine in butterfly form .... and you go girl 💚💚💚❣

My family visitors left today to go home, but it has been a wonderful few days of exploring my new town, with laughter and some fun.

I have also worked out a plan to get to paint your beach in oils ..... fingers, toes, and everything crossed ..... 🤞🤞🤞 We have started with oil painting at uni, and there is enough ventilation in that art space, where there isn't in mine. So ..... in another couple of weeks, we will be given the opportunity to paint something of our own choice. It needs to reflect the learning we have done in experimenting with new techniques, but I believe the beach image you posted some time back will work with this brief. That is my hope at the moment anyway ..... I will have to see how it goes when the tutor starts to map out what we can do, and what we can access as reference material .... and see whether it remains a match.
