@MissGremlin my friend, I need a hug!

How are you?

Hello @NightFury my sweet, sending you a big hug ❤️. Here if you want to chat beautiful 😊.

I'm doing ok 😊

I apologise in advance because I'm just going to have a big moan...probably. @MissGremlin I'm safe for now and just need a listening ear and some support.

I woke up feeling really really scattered. I couldn't focus on any particular thought. I was 20 minutes late to work because I couldn't even get my morning routine to happen properly and with flow. I was all over the place.

When I got in the car to drive to work, I noticed that my check engine light was on. It was a big panicked drive to work - afraid that my car was going to blow up or something.

I had one of the fellas at work check it and he said it was safe to drive.

My head's been so scattered and I've been trying so hard to just not be a wreck and be functional and together enough to teach a class of students. Because I've been forcing my brain to focus enough to do the things...I now have a headache.

I have my car booked into the mechanics after work tomorrow so they can check it over, but I can't afford any major repairs so I'm stressing about that...

And all of it is making me want to cry.

@NightFury oh sweet, it sounds like it's been quite the day. Firstly let's try to slow things down and take some gentle, deep breaths. You've made it through most of the day so you've done really well and I'm proud of you ❤️.

Waking up scattered and not being able to get the morning routine to happen and things to just not flow would have been so hard and definitely would have had an impact on the rest of the day. Don't stress too much about being late to work, these things happen and it's ok, the fact that you still got to work and got through the day is incredible ❤️.

Your car playing up just adds to the situation and I don't know if it's the same for you but I just get the feelings of 'what else could possibly go wrong or why me', it can certainly make dealing with things hard. I hope it's a quick and cheap fix, I know all too well what it's like dealing with car issues as my car has many at the moment and I'm just hoping she keeps running.

Can you listen to what your body needs in this moment? Would it help to just sit quietly with Luna or maybe have a cuppa with me?

I'm here for you sweet, you're not alone ❤️

I've just made a cuppa @MissGremlin if you'd like to join me? I would love to have a cuppa with you and to take a minute to just sit and be.

Following that I'm going to have a shower, cook some dinner and maybe crash in front of the TV, or do some puzzle.

It's been so hard today. I've been all too aware that I'm not functioniong well, or thinking well or able to focus and I even think I asked the TA in my room, "how do I get my brain to focus?" I've been so frustrated with it.

@NightFury I've just put my kettle on so I'll have a cuppa with you ❤️.

A shower sounds perfect and hopefully it helps to relax you a bit. What's for dinner tonight? Either crashing in front of the TV or doing some puzzle, both of those are perfect for some self care. I've been sitting down with my puzzle today 😊.

I hear you sweet, unfortunately sometimes we just have those days. But you really have done so well to get through it ❤️

I have a caramel latte on the go @MissGremlin

I'm hoping a shower helps too. My head hurts and my shoulders are stiff - which means too much tension.

I'm having steak and vegetables for dinner and Luna is having chicken necks. What about you?

I only have the last corner of my puzzle to finish. I'm not sure I have the focus for it though. How's your new puzzle going?

@NightFury yummy, I'm having a green tea 😊.

Oh the tension is horrible, slow, deep breaths sweet and hope the shower helps both the head and the shoulders ❤️.

Oohh that sounds delicious 😋. I'm making bolognase tonight 😊. Casper just had a chicken and veg loaf with his crunchies, he was very excited as always 😂.

Wow not much more of the puzzle to go. No rush with it sweet, if it's too much tonight then that's ok. I still haven't finished the border on mine 😂.

Yum @MissGremlin bolognaise sounds good. I made that one night last week. It's a great go-to meal. It sounds like Casper enjoyed his meal too.

One step at a time, I think. Drink my coffee, then shower and see how I feel after that before I commit to doing my puzzle or anything else.
