Hello Forums Fam,
I thought I'd make this space for everyone to connect tonight. We can sit back and relax around the campfire!

Sitting with you too @Shaz51
Me? I have work, then after work I have an over the phone intake assessment appointment with a new counselling service. I'm not sure about it yet.
What about you?

Hope your day improves @NightFury and that that intake call goes well.
@Shaz51 3am?? Ouch. Hope you get some extra rest time during the day in leui of that.
I have to get up (from bed) now *sigh*. Its cold i dont want to lol. But I will warm up once I get up and put warm clothes on - I'm just being a sook lol. I have 1 personal admin errand meeting this morning, then I can go back home and rest or chores / other admin tasks I need to do for home.
I shall see you all later; but thinking of you during the day.

Thank you for the reassuring words @PeppyPatti I needed to hear that 💕 I haven’t been able to continue on with the volunteering at this stage since I’m still not ready to continue on with the shifts as I still need more practice before I’m ready to be back on shift again

I haven't read the situation, but I am glad to hear that you are putting your health @Blackcloud, needs, and readiness first. 😊🥰 its not always easy to do when we like helping others (which volunteering is), but it is so important.
@Shaz51 hope Mr Shaz has a good sleep.
Do you like or dislike to go back to bed yourself after an early waking?
Well done on getting a start of laundry. I will do one either later today or tomorrow. Along with some meal planning (and grocery list).
I've done my meeting and back home, now rugged up on the couch with a quilt and starting to do some admin paperwork I need to do. Hoping for a mundane quiet restful and small productivity day. I will try to take some time for myself to listen to a podcast, or watch a tv show, or read a book or something after this paperwork.

Open to chat if it helps any @Blackcloud . But also know you have supports here looking out for you already and you may not want/need more. Just an open door. 🚪📭 <-- closest emoji i had to an open door.

@Blackcloud Have you done any of the further training you mentioned to me a week or so ago?

@Cuddlebear nah not yet. I was meant to be attending to the one that I've booked the session for this tuesday and last tuesday but i didn't end up attending them, but i am gonna do my best to attend them again for next tuesday though (hopefully, my anxiety doesn't keep getting exacerbated by what i've experienced on my first placement shift from last month)
