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

Hi Niqua, how are you today? I've been thinking of you in recovery from yesterday. I wonder if you went out with the dogs today. Any good movies last night?

I still haven't had a shower. But I have slept. Probably about nine hours all up, in a number of bursts over the night and morning. Feel better for it though still tired. Not surprising since I got less than two hours the night before. Anyway the day has been good enough.

Hi my scottish sister, Shaz.

@Former-Member @Shaz51, hugs.

Good Morning Mazy @Mazarita,

I'm good thanks and hope you and C are too, didn't take a pain killer last night and I slept through 🙂 I did take the dogs for a walk yesterday, found a new spot in my local town; but it was a bit windy and I don't know if it was the wind or the fact that it was a little cool {that was a sudden change, I was sweating the other day!}, but it did bother my mouth a little. Then the young fella, I don't know if he 'took off' or he got a little lost - I could see his head bob up occasionally, so I had to call and whistle {that bothered my mouth a little too}; but I think because it was so windy he either couldn't hear me or the wind sort of changed the direction he thought the sound was coming from - he darted all over the place before finally finding me 😄 I've been watching some series, one with Cathy Freeman and an actor, Luke someone - played in Water Rats; they go to isolated communities, starting in Uluru and finishing at the most top point you can go and still be in Australia, an island where you can see New Guinea across the water! Also a bit of good old Agatha Christie and a Police one, that seems to be more about shocking the viewer with acts of violence than actually following a story line?!?

I forgive you about the shower 😄 but if you don't mind I'll give you another little nag on Monday {as long as I remember:)}. I can do it in code if you like, I'll just mention a rubber ducky and you'll know I'm gently nagging, and you'll know I only do so because I want to help you, help you Myself personally, I think sleep is more important - and even think that sleep may be just the ticket needed to get into that shower 🙂 Glad your feeling better for it, imagine how good you'd feel if all those hours were consecutive!

Streaming the love and hoping your day gets better than good enough 🙂

Niqua

Thanks for your thoughts, Shaz.

Hi Niqua

Very low energy day today after pulling an all nighter on video. Late afternoon went to friend's place for early dinner. Got home not that long ago. Rowan Atkinson is on TV, I heard some funny parts. But I'd prefer to be here. Sounds like your mouth is really a bit sore, Niqua, hopefully in the process of healing well now. Yes, rubber ducky me, we'll see what happens.

That's about it for the moment from tired me. ox

Hi @Shaz51

I hope you and Mr Shaz have a quiet week and that Mr Shaz doesn't get too anxious about things

I mean - I remember you writing once that he gets anxious when there is too much work and then anxious when there is less work - it must be so hard

I am thinking of both of you

Re: General chit chat

Hello @Owlunar

you are soo right my friend about mr shaz , he is soo anxious this week and he wants me to advertise for more work

It is hard as if we get extra work i know he will get anxious, worried and then we will have to cut back on work again

but then it is no good to have too many slack times for mr shaz as he can`t cope

How are you today

In response to: Re: General chit chat

Re: General chit chat

Hi Niqua,

I notice that you haven't posted much over past couple of days. Part of that time I was asleep in bed for almost 24 hours, so only catching up on things now. How are you today? Just wanted to send a loving hope that you feel better when you awake.
