A nap sounds nice @Shaz51 I wish I could fall asleep as quick as the dog does!

I’m watching cricket too @Shaz51 . Having a cold drink though. Hi @Snowie @heartathome @Appleblossom @DownMoreThanUp . Might turn air on for a little while. It is cooler but humid for Adelaide yuck. Puss has just come in. She is already asking for dinner at 2.50pm. I’m getting hungry too.

Hello @Shaz51 thank you for the space and check-in. I have survived work and trying to spend afternoon decompressing a little. Unsure about weekend plans as partner was re-admitted into hospital and I feel everything is up in the air. I shall plan a quiet evening with my cat and a movie.

Thanks for the check-in whilst you are also going through ups and downs. I am thankful my partner had the option to be re-admitted, and at the same time I am saddened at how hard it can be for others needing support/break. Can I ask what you find helps you @Shaz51 whilst you navigate this?

Hello @DownMoreThanUp How nice of you to make a favourite meal for your wife! I know she'll appreciate it! Thanks for telling me how you are.
Even though sadness is a natural part of grief, doesn't mean it's a nice feeling, hey! I know grief is hard work dealing with all the emotions!
Has it only been three days (I thought you said your wife was going away for three days) It feels like a week or more ago! I imagine you'll be very glad when she's home again! 💛
