@Cuddlebear i had to get mine from the lego store, it's very hard to find.

Morning @NightFury my sweet, checking in with you today ❤️.

Morning my sweet @Cuddlebear, how are you doing?

Morning @MissGremlin @Cuddlebear

I am...feeling quite fragile today. But, I am up and having some quiet time.

I'm heading to my brother's to see the twins before they go to their Dad's for Christmas (and to see my niece of course). Then to Mum and Dad's for lunch. My brother isn't joining us for lunch this year, which hurts a little and feels weird.

@NightFury i hear you sweet, I'm glad you are having some quiet time. Remember to be gentle with yourself, sending you hugs ❤️.

I hope you enjoy seeing your brother, the twins and your niece. I hear that it hurts and feels weird as your brother won't be at your Mum and Dad's for Christmas this year but I hope you have a good time ❤️.

I just had to remind myself of exactly that @MissGremlin

I was trying to remind myself to be grateful. Last year, I spent Christmas alone. This year, because I am back in Tas, I have family to spend the day with. I was reminding myself to be grateful but at the same time, it didn't feel very kind because of how I was using it.

My thoughts..."I have family around me and I'm still struggling to find happiness in Christmas," and then I was like..."remember last year...be grateful that you have family around you."

But it didn't feel kind to myself because I am allowed to feel what I feel.

How was last night? How's the vibe over your way this morning?

@NightFury i hear you sweet and yes it's completely ok to feel how you feel.

I'm glad you have family around this year but that doesn't mean that there's still not pain given what's been going on. I know today may bring up many emotions and feelings but know they are all valid and you are doing amazing to push through things ❤️.

Last night was tough and I struggled to sleep, I've woken up this morning to a very red and sore eye that hurts everytime I try to look around. I'm not sure how to face today at this point so I'm just taking things second by second. (I'm safe).

Oh hun @MissGremlin

Do you have some eye drops or something you can use to give yourself a bit of relief in that eye? It sounds like a tough night, I'm sorry.

That reminder you gave me, maybe also fits for you today. Be gentle with yourself.

@NightFury i have some but they went out of date a while ago so I'm not sure if I should still use then.

We will both work on being gentle with ourselves today ❤️.

I'll be around all day if you want/need to chat at any stage.

@MissGremlin Good morning Dreamy.

How are you feeling today? I have woken up. I’m feeling dreadful and I’m going to try so hard today to get through the day.

I am hoping forum family might be around.
