General chit chat

General chit chat

Hi@Faith-and-Hope, @utopia, @Mazarita

I'm still not very good at 'navagating' this site, maybe that's why I kept trying 'instant' chat sites - they seemed easier. But I like that messages can be checked, that it's not instant feels like some sort of barrier against instant shock I suppose - though I know this is a public Internet site so anyone can use it. I also think, though I hate the term Mental Illness, as I think it takes all the physical out of it, that the people that cause trauma probably suffer from it, so they would have just as much right to use it. But I feel a bit like typing I think, so I thought I might just blurb a little?
I've went away for a few days. I go every month. I visit the center of my Universe 🙂 The one person who has been there with/for me, their whole life & I believe will remain that way until I die 🙂 . . . & quite the large Family they have provided for me to share in 🙂 I go from, it almost seems like another Planet sometimes, my life is very quiet; to the center of my Universe, which includes 5 grand-children ranging in age from almost 2 to, going on 18; then there's the partner, the partners Parents and a large variety of friends 🙂 I often find myself thinking 'alein sound dimension' - there's so much noise on so many different levels! Every single one of them has every gadget known to mankind, and most of those gadgets make noise! And my World is a lot calmer, with a lot less going on - we're usually driving in the car, taking children to school, doing whatever shopping is necessary for the day in time for whatever seemingly endless appointment is due, . . . by the time my alarm goes off to make sure I wake up in time to get tired in time to go to sleep in time 😄 There's no way I could keep that pace up anymore! After a few days I find myself almost running away with my tail between my legs 🙂 But it's the perfect balance really, I do spend a lot of time alone - apart from my 3 furry, four-legged friends; but I am extremely lucky, my bond with my only child is of a strength I can't see breaking; I get a phone call or text every night & welcomed by a dozen open arms and smiling faces every month. I am lucky, I have a good life. Well, I think life is just a word, neither good nor bad. I have good experiences and I am happy 🙂

Re: General chit chat

Good morning, Niqua

IT'S DONE!

Now all I have to do is wait for the onsite body corp manager to come for the inspection, sometime between 8.30am and 10.30am.

Ah, finally a chance to chat with you properly. Sorry I asked for a chat last night and then kind of disappeared. C wanted to talk about something and it needed immediate attention. I think you do fine with the real time chats. Hope we get more of them soon.

What am I going to do with the rest of my day now? I wonder if I might even make it to the craft shop (that long trip I mentioned of 3 and a half hours return on public transport and foot). Wouldn't that be awesome! We'll see. Not going to push myself but if it happens it happens.

Well, that's probably enough of a morning rave from me to you. Streaming lots of love, even when I'm distracted by pressing things like cleaning for flat inspections! @Former-Member

Re: General chit chat

Thank you @Mazarita sending some to you too ☺

In response to: Re: General chit chat

Re: General chit chat

Woo Hoo Mazy @Mazarita 😄 Now all you've got to do is wait, . . . just possibly slighty harder than all the cleaning you've done this week! 🙂

No worries about last nights chat 😉 I'm not very good at instant responses [insert blushing emojicon :)], & I was just sort of hanging around waiting for my phone call & it had just happened 😉 But it is the most special feeling when we're both there at the same time I'm looking forward to more too 🙂

See where your heads at after the inspection, you never know, a long adventure after such a gruelling week, might just be the ticket 🙂 & you'd get something crafty to be creative with to boot! 😄

I really do appreciate the love during such a blur! Gathering it all up, adding heaps more & wrapping it all in the softest silk to send back in a bundle to you 🙂

Hello there Claire @outlander 🙂

After sifting through mountains of paperwork yesterday & the whole goose chase over the appointment thing - how are you feeling today? I hope you manage some peaceful rest last night How many days a week do you work? It'd be good if you had a 'day off' today to relax and recoup a bit 🙂

Lots of love & Nanny hugs for you Claire

Re: General chit chat

Well, here we are again, chatting in real time, Niqua.

Inspection is done, went fine, chatted with the body corp manager in a friendly way. All good.

And the place feels as clean and holy as a church now, lol.

Won't take long to mess it up again, being small. And C is a big bloke who is a bit messy really (never me of course, haha). But for now it feels sooooo nice.

What's in store for you today, Niqua?

Re: General chit chat

I hit a strange state last night where i lost my filter on what i say as in i speak my mind and honestly. I always speak honestly however its always filtered. I then had abit of sleep but aftet that i was having hallucinations of peoples eyes staring at me and dogs coming up and sniffing at me so was hiding under the covers all night and ended up having a panic attack. If i ever get into that state before sleep i know what im in for @Former-Member
So not all the best today but am living. Im just at the rta with pop but after that the days all mine till late when i work.
My caring role with pop means i dont actually get a day off i just have easier days and since pops beens ok im getting abit bored. And my horse work is 3 days a week . This week its yesterday today and tomorrow.
How are you today?

"And the place feels as clean and holy as a church now, lol" love it @Mazarita lol

Re: General chit chat

😄 Real-time chat AGAIN Maz @Mazarita 🙂

PHEW! It's done! . . . & all good too, fabulous 😄

Now's the time you want your friend to visit! Whilst the place is next to Godliness 😄

Of course it's going to mess up again, it's a sign that you & C are alive 😄

Enjoy the space, the empty bench space, the floor space, the space that you have created 😄

It's Friday so it's an off-lead walk day, I think I'll go into town & check the P.O. & go to the library. I'm kinda hoping I'll start the genny & do some more clothes washing & I even dare to hope I might start the mow & do some of that late this afternoon - but I'm not going to put much pressure on myself for those tasks . . . I will for making my bed though! 😄

It's nice knowing you feel nice

Niqua
