Am Not Coping

I often put cotton wool in my ears to lessen the noise.

I hope you can sleep ok @Sans911 night 😴

Good morning @Former-Member @Sans911 @outlander @Shaz51 @oceangirl and all passing through...

It is a beautiful morning here today and the day is suppose to be a cracker - perfect for heading to the Taste of Tasmania and partaking in some local food and drinks. We definitely have some wonderful food down here so looking forward to eating some of it today. I also need to change my bed and get everything washed and hung out - so that is my priority for this morning. Toby is snuggled on the doona on the couch so I will have to move him to wash that cover too. I will also wash his bedding on the floor so plenty to get done this morning.

I painted a little last night and will do some more today with the background then tonight I may start the actual peacock with the oils. Going to take some time to get the background done but I have plenty of time and the process is just as enjoyable.

Hope everyone has some moments of joy in their day - hugs and hugs

Sounds good @Zoe7. A busy and productive day! Did you make it down to Constitution Dock to see Wild Oats II come in this morning? Maybe later you will get to see some of the other yachts come in. Holly's bath day today, and also sheets and towells change and wash. I should get my paints out too and do some art, something I've not done since about March, sadly. Thanks for the well wishes, and they are reciprocated to you as well.

Hi @Former-Member ... hope you managed some decent sleep overnight. Thinking of you.

Sherry 🤗🌸💕

I watched the end of the race on tv @Former-Member It was nice for WIld Oats XI to win after last year - happy they won. It will be a wonderful sight seeing all the Maxis lined up along the dock today. Hopefully I get to the Taste and get to see them.

Toby's bath will have to wait until tomorrow or Sunday - need to get the washing done first. I will wash him then wash all the towels afterwards ...I have a 2 towel system to try to dry him as much as I can - he is pretty fluffy so it takes at least 2 towels to soak up all that water lol

As I have said before Hon - tag me anytime - only too happy to provide support or a listening ear (eyes) whenever you need

Thanks @Zoe7. You have always been here for me, and I very much appreciate that. Right now .. well, I am really struggling ... but I dont know how to go about talking about it all. Where do I start? Will it help to talk about it all? I dont know. I think as much as anything right now, I just need some human interaction. To know someone is there for me, to listen if I do need to talk. And thats why I appreciate your offer so much. Thank you ...... 🤗🌸💕

Yeah, I was happy to see Wild Oats win too. Last years penalty seemed unfair to me. And they had to pull out of the year befores race due to some equipment failure. So it was great they won again this year.

Ha ha, your Toby sounds like hard work when it comes to bathing. Holly is so easy! I could towell her down with a face washer and she'd be dry within moments.

Hi to everyone else here too @Former-Member @Sans911 @Shaz51 @outlander

Sometimes talking is too hard and we just need that connection like you said to know there is someone there for you @Former-Member I get that there is so much going on for you but despite that you continue to show your resilience and courage. I know it doesn't always feel like that when you are right in the middle of it all but we all see it here and i for one admire that so much about you. I know we have some similar history so also know how hard it is to get through day to day but I don't have th same issues as you do with hubby, your brother and parents - so much love coming your way with everything you are dealing with Hon.

Yes Holly seems much easier to wash and dry - I do love that Toby looks like a little mop but it does take a lot of looking after. He has so many knots around his tail and backside (including his legs) - it is one are he hates being brushed so hoping after a wash it will be a little easier to get those knots out. I will give him a bone to chew on whilst I try to tackle it.

Happy to keep you company this morning Hon

Hi @MDT lovely to see you up and abot this morning also. Anything planned for today?

Sounds like a great day @Zoe7 Enjoy, you deserve some fun times. Remember to rest in between. 💜🦋☕️🌸

I might not feel up to saying much at times. But happy to listen/read and sit with you.

I haven’t had much sleep. I shouldn’t have sugar and had a really sugary pudding yesterday. Silly me. I won’t be eating the rest of it.

Off to doctor later.

Will pop on here when I can. Catch you later.
