@NightFury yay to the work day almost being done and good that you don't have a staff meeting tonight.

I'm glad it hasn't been horrible. I understand the sensory issues, it's been one of those days for me to.

I hope once you get home you can put on some comfy clothes and relax with Luna and get an early night ❤️.

I took Casper for a walk, had something to eat and then just laid on my lounge.

Hello @rav3n, this morning I took Casper for a walk but got scolded by an old lady cos I didn't let Casper say hello to her. I got home and had something to eat then laid down on my lounge for the rest of the day. Yesterday while I was sitting in my car waiting I was chewing a piece of gum when a tooth started to crumble so that's got me worried and I can't afford the dentist.

I have to head to the shops a bit later today but it's only for a short trip. Things have been a bit stressful the past few days and those thoughts of suicide have crept in (I'm safe) and so have the SH urges so I've been working on being gentle to myself, keeping up with distractions, chatting to my friend and keeping connected here aswell.

Hello @Chasingsunsets, last night wasn't a bad sleep.

Any luck with your toilet being fixed yet?

Haha yes the water just going everywhere, reasons i leave fixing things to the professionals 😂

How has your day been?

oh hun i'm sorry to hear that it's been a rough start to your day @MissGremlin dental stuff stresses me out too. i have heard how university dental clinics provide discounts if you're willing to let students do the check up - i wonder if that's a possible option for you to look into? but i do still have my fingers crossed that it's nothing serious.

sucks that those thoughts and SH urges have popped up lately but i'm really proud of you for working on staying safe. it's not easy being gentle when things are hard, but it's also when we need gentleness the most so good on you 💙

@rav3n i had a chance last year to get some dental work done on a special government scheme but unfortunately going alone was too much for my anxiety and my friend at the time started working so wasn't able to come with me for the appointmens that we had booked.

It's really not easy sometimes but I do reach out when I need to. Thankyou ❤️.

oh i hear you, dental appts in particular are ones i don't like attending alone either. do you know that gov scheme is still available now? @MissGremlin

are you working on the hundreds of stitch puzzle still? (i can't remember the exact name hehe)

@rav3n I'm not sure if it's still available and if I'll be given that chance again. I'm hoping to ring tomorrow and ask about it, if I can work up the courage. But I still don't have anyone to go with me so I'm not sure how it will go.

Yes I'm still working on the stitch challenge puzzle but I haven't done much of it lately. I'm taking my time with it cos I don't have any other new ones to do once I finish this one.

Hello @NightFury my sweet, how are you feeling? ❤️

calling them up sounds like good idea, fingers crossed it's still available!! @MissGremlin if it is available, maybe you can reach out to your friend and find a day/time where you can go together.

ohh yep, makes sense why you'd savour it. re-doing ones you've already done just doesn't give off the same level of satisfaction (or at least to me it didn't lol) 🙃

Hey @MissGremlin I'm feeling pretty tired tonight. Physically and mentally so, I'm taking it easy and giving Luna lots of pats and cuddles.
