hello @Cuddlebear , @MissGremlin , @NightFury , @Chasingsunsets , @ENKELI

thinking of you lots, hope you are all ok xxxx

Hello beautiful @Shaz51, it's been quite the day for me. I got stuck at the shops after my car wouldn't start. I had to fight back tears, I'm just glad to be home now.

How are you going?

did you get you car going? my @MissGremlin

glad you are back home , how did you get home

been very quiet here on the forum today

hope everyone is ok with these bush fires xx

@Shaz51 eventually we did. My mum came to jump start it and then a person that is an auto electrician stopped to help.

The bush fires are so bad, definitely hoping everyone is safe.

has it been warm at your place today @MissGremlin 😍

@Shaz51 it's actually been cooler here today. My aircon finally got turned off today after running for 5 days straight 😂

@MissGremlin How are you doing?

Sorry I have missed the last few days, so haven't read what has already been said lately -- other than your post above which notes it is thankfully cooler and your aircon is able to have a rest too now! 😊

Our cool-change should come through tomorrow, with a max in the 20's rather than 30's. 😊

Hello @AlwaysMyself, things have really started to come crashing down for me. Today was hard as I got stuck at the shops when my car wouldn't start. I'm sitting with dark thoughts at the moment, alot of things are hurting and it's hard to sit with everything (I'm safe).

I've got myself into bed now and I've got Stella on my lap. I'm going to try to do some colouring and listen to my music, that's if I can move Stella off of me.

Also in reply to the post in Captain24's thread. My friend used to really care but since I can't give her anything anymore (i used to help out buying things alot) it's like I just don't matter to her. She'll only talk to me when it's convenient for her and it really hurts.

@MissGremlin *hugs*. That "friend" reminds me of the culture in another country I spent time in; they are family-oriented but 'friends' are non-family who are of some benefit. So you would be 'friends' with someone because you wanted to borrow their tools, and they might be OK to be friends with you and lend their tools because they wanted to borrow your car sometimes. It was such a different perspective on 'friendship' than I had. But those who were friends of mine really appreciated how I didn't ask for things in return for caring or helping (and they also learned this was an important part of our joint friendship and also learned not to expect/demand in return either; not in a titt-for-tat way!).

I hope the colouring has helped at least a little.

@AlwaysMyself I've barely done any colouring. There's too much happening here and I can't focus (I'm safe). It's going to be a long night for me, I'm taking things second by second.

I'm listening to my music and I have a pen in my hand, trying hard to calm myself down.
