Am Not Coping

That is good news @CheerBear It is always tricky at this time of year to get things on time. I think doing some of the searching tonight will help us get things tomorrow and reduce the amount of time we have to spend in the crowds. My sister wants to possibly meet me in the city which no doubt tomorrow will be super busy - just getting parking will be a nightmare but if that is where she wants to go then happy to meet her. Meeting Dad at one of the larger shopping centres (there really aren't that many in the Hobart area lol) but we should get in an out early enough so I can meet my sister afterwards and then get home by early afternoon.

@Faith-and-Hope say hi to Visual and D2 from me Hon and give yourself a big hug from me. I hope you took your butterfly brooch with you and wear it to think of me. I think my sister is getting me some paint brushes for Christmas so that will be lovely - it is something I suggested to her and she usually gets what I suggest

I haven't started the peacock painting yet but haven't been in the right headspace with all this work stuff @Faith-and-Hope Maybe when I come back from my sister's tonight I can think about starting to sketch it out. I would love to have something this coming week to post to you and I know @outlander would like to see as it progresses too.

Thanks @CheerBear - I hope so too - it used to be like that at this school but a change of principal and most of the teaching staff changed all that. Fingers crossed for a better outcome in the coming months for me - I can only continue to be me and do the job I do love and see how it goes.

Yes Sunday is a quiet day - nothing planned but resting - and maybe mowing the grass if the weather is nice ...and I am up to it. Methinks after today and the day I will have tomorrow that I might not be up to it. Monday is supposed to be hot here so I may take Tby to the beach and then help my sister get things organised for christmas day if she needs the help.

This coming week I am going to start to get rid of anything that I don't need from that school - planty of old papers etc. to go through and shred. Will be somewhat of a cleansing of anything related to that school and I am sure it will feel good.

I did a lot of online shopping last year as I wasn't capable of putting up with the shops or the crowds either - this year I have done most of my shopping in a couple of days so not as taxing on me. I haven't got much for anybody but I know they will understand because they know I don't have the money.

The more I think about it the more likely it will be a rest day @CheerBear - very tired now but am going to go and visit my sister. Toby would certainly love that too. Will catch up with you later. Thank you soooo much for being here and for understanding - it really has helped Hon 💜💙💚🧡💛

@Faith-and-Hope will try to catch you later to Hon - still love seeing those support hits and it gives me a heartlift to know you are around.
