~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

Hey hi hello! Welcome to the second iteration of...

~ The Toolshed ~

I decided to make a new thread, as the first one had errors and phantom pages, and was getting quite long! You can still find all the amazing pics, inspiring quotes, and uplifting messages of the first Toolshed here.

What is the Toolshed? Ain't a place to hang your hammer! Hehe this is a space where we can share the things that have helped us in our recovery. Tools, coping skills, inspiring ideas, and messages of hope and growth, is what this space is all about!!

You can stay connected and up to date on this space by favouriting, or by subscribing to the thread - head to the top of the page, and find the three dots to the right of the thread title (next to the star), click, and from the drop down menu you can 'favourite' or 'subscribe' - and clicking the star itself will also favourite the thread for you.

Favourite threads are then always available in your favourites list which should appear on the right hand side of most forums pages - or you can go to your profile and scroll down to the 'Favourites' section under your recent posts.

If you subscribe, it means that you will get a notification every time someone posts something new in the thread. So up to you if you simply want it to be always accessible, or if you want all the updates, or both!

I invite anyone who wishes to contribute to do so! It doesn't have to be pictures, it can be discussion, questions, videos, whatever you like! So without further ado, here's my latest batch!

Re: ~ Toolshed 2: Power Tools for Recovery ~

@MissGremlin be at one with your lounge 💖 In general people don’t understand or appreciate the importance of solid sleep and the bliss of a brain 🧠 that has been well cleaned 🧹 🧼 by it’s Glymphatic system.

Yesterday’s heat rocked me. I wish Kelpies came with an Off button. Even the sound of my fan is annoying me - a solid indicator that am still fatigued from yesterday.

Last night I discovered that one of my headlight bulbs needs replacing. Fortunately an easy fix.

Fixing things is something that I was raised with. Not because I wanted to, but because I was raised by my father.

I have to admit, watching my grandfather, uncle and father MacGyver something in the garage was more interesting than watching a pot boil in the kitchen, while women talked.

Rest well Grems. Big hugs 🫂

@MissGremlin Hello my friend. Thank you for the beautiful affirmations.

@Glisten i was out for the count on my lounge but I'm feeling very groggy. Trying to get myself moving, just slowly. I feel like every bit of energy has been zapped out of me.

Oh that's the worst when the little sounds are enough to annoy you, like the aircon humming currently irritating me. Kelpies most definitely need to have an off switch, they are just go, go, go 😂.

The headlight bulbs are an easy fix thankfully and lucky you noticed it.

I've always been more hands on wanting to do things, loved doing woodwork in school and being crafty. I don't mind cooking but it gets monotonous i think.

Hope your days been ok sweetheart and that you get a good sleep tonight to finish recovering from yesterday ❤️.

@MissGremlin I swear it’s the heat and bad sleep or no sleep is crippling. I hate that sensation when you get up or lean over and your head swims. Dizzy but not spinning.

It rain this morning and turned into a steamy day. Every time I went to do something on the car, I started dripping sweat.

And people wonder why it takes me so long to do things.
