hi @heartathome @Chasingsunsets @Bunniekins @AlwaysMyself @Shaz51 @sugarshack @Jynx @AlwaysMyself @RebelliousAngel @TAB @allmytiredmindhas failedtotag! wishing you a vunderbah day and hope mornings been kind to you also

I'm just going through forum trying catch up on here

My 'Ren' piped up last night, a full-on assault when i had already depleted mental energy teetering on edge of a panic attack.

i managed to not get in trouble and lot quieter today, Pooky's not pressed hard against me his being on pillows again suggests has not feeling chaos in my energy which is better for him.

still uncomfortable, tangibly aware of tightness in upper back neck and shoulders.,

although not consumed by the darkness and noise last night i was too close too long enough and still feel off, wrong from its presence and drained today.

hope all is well @allthefriendlyforumites!

(if dont know REN its the name an artist gave to his own shadow self)

when i first heard it i instantly knew why i i never could explain well enough to be understood was because that fella had the words! then was grateful because of where society put him for it kinda thing.....

So cute!! @AlwaysMyself

How are your gnomes coming along this week? 💛

Hello all, hoping today wasn't a big challenge for anyone? But we're here to hear if it was.

Today was better than yesterday for me (mentally), but still so busy. Been constantly doing something until just now, nearly 14 hours after getting out of bed. Thankfully nothing destroyed by dogs when they were home alone today. Fingers crossed for tomorrow also.

@AuntGlow Haven't done anything more on my gnomes since Sunday, as I've been too busy to. But also at the stage now where I will need to feel inspired on what to do on them further (e.g. pattern/designs on hat or tops).

Once I have caught up on messages here, I think an early night for me. Hopefully within 45min of now I can go to bed. Another work day tomorrow, and then a busy Thurs and Friday also.

Thanks @heartathome I think it's probably a long term if not life-long struggle for a lot of people.

Sorry I didn't respond until now. I'm trying to catch up on stuff I didn't pay attention to when my cold was bad. It's thankfully started to abate.

I hope you had a good day.

It's sunny here, which has been helpful

Goodness, such a big day for you yesterday! I hope you got some rest last night? I am glad your fur babies were okay in your absence. @AlwaysMyself

I have commented on your other thread, but just wanted to thank you for your response here - please update me on the gnomes. hehe

Hello @AlwaysMyself !! Apologies for being so late in seeing your thread! How was your Sunday? 💛

Hey @Chasingsunsets , yesterday was... mixed?

Saw a friend which was nice - thats the positive (or perhaps the What has been your highlight today, no matter how big or small? Come share 🫶 ! 😋

Today I am glad is a public holiday for me, so no work. Have 2 outings I need to do though, but nothing stressful. Oh, and of course a bit of housework to do but nothing urgent so I will class that as "optional" this week.

How have you been?

I haven't had time to back-read the threads much except when tagged in a post.

Morning @AlwaysMyself, catching up with your friend sounds good, what did you guys get up to did you go out for coffee or a cuppa at home?

How are your two dogs going?

Got to love a public holiday, hope it’s a mix of getting some stuff done but also hope you have time to chill. I like days with a balance like that!

I have been ok! Busy over the last few days so haven’t been able to get on here. Way to many posts so keep up with but I think I managed to react to most just haven’t commented and hope everyone would be ok with that eek!!
Off to the gym soon which I am looking forward to 😊

Hope it’s a good day for you!!

Its fine if you dont have time to comment on posts @Chasingsunsets 😊. Ive been the same a lot lately. Using the "support" button a lot lol.

Part of the forum premise is people can come and go as they wish/need, and no pressure. That applies to you also. 😊😉😘

We met up at a local cafe.

Dogs are doing well; looking up my mum's dog too currently. So im the sole human for 3 doggos right night. Thankfully they do sleep most of the time, but the 2 male dogs are both barkers and sometimes it drives me a little nuts if they keep going for more than a minute. 🥴 one yaps and one has a deep bark. But not a harmonious chord between them. 😅

I feel bad for not taking the dogs out for walks, but I cant walk all 3 at once. I can take them to cafes in the car though, which i hope to do this afternoon. One of the 3 dogs hasn't left the house/yard in over a week 😬. At least the cafe will give it variety and more human social contacts.

I’ll always make time for ya @AlwaysMyself when I can get on the forum, you are one of the first friends I made here and that I’ll forever be grateful!!

I tend to miss some aswell as just log on on my phone so not sure if the computer layout looks better 🤔

Oh wow full house for you with 3 dogos do they all get along?

tonight I am going to make Indi some doggy frozen treats, been meaning to do it for awhile just been so time poor.

How was your day? How are your gnomes going?
