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 🙂

@Former-Member
Sounds like youve been having some adventures recently and off on another one today but theae ones are good and worth it 😊


No i dont have a helper anymore. Things changed and cant happen now. So trying to keep them occupied with other things. We are going to the cinemas today. Leaving soon ao thatll take up some of the day. Its suppose to rain today. It doesnt look like it yet but there are aome hovering clouds around.

Ill be ok Niqua. It had to be done. Im just on regualr pain relief for the next few days until it heals more and hurts less.
Its still really awkward to sleep on my left side but i did manage some sleep last night so thats a start.

Hope your ok. Take care of you too ❤❤❤

Re: General chit chat

Hello my beautiful cyber grandgirl Claire @outlander 🙂

Yes indeed I am having some potentially brain-frizzling adventures 😄 That I'm really hoping will come to a joyful peak and end this afternoon 🙂 I find myself thinking more and more about my next camping trip 🙂 It's warming up here already at 37*! I want to get further down Australia where it's cooler for Summer!!

Life sure has handed you a bundle, it's making you work harder despite how hard you work already! I do think it's worth it, getting healthier, getting stonger, getting better; and when your living arrangements do change you appreciate it even more 🙂 The pictures is a good idea, when you finally get to sit, the Sisters are occupied and you can rest a little 🙂 Good thinking 99! 😄

Still hovering in cyber-world, around those 'comfy castles' in case you need a drink of water 😉

Love you Claire

Niqua

Re: General chit chat

Its 27 here today but the other day it was 37. We are near a lake do it keeps temp down just a little bit. Not much though. Did you get all tour little adventures done today?

Life is hard Niqua but having people here that care makes it just abit easier.
We are home from the movies now. It was ok but had abit of a meltdown as it reminded me of how much of a dissapointment i am to family. My sisters enjoyed it though and they were quiet and happy so thats the main thing. We ate lunch out today. Now we are at home watching narnia part 2 and about to do aome craft things. After reachinf out and driving my arm and sutured area hurts so trying to just take it easy. Its annoying as i cant sit back i have to not lean on anything

Love you lots too ❤❤❤ @Former-Member

Re: General chit chat

Hello Claire

I'm still waiting for a call or something to know the deals done, but I'm pretty sure I'm almost finished that adventure 🙂

Your right, having people that care does make going through the difficult experiences in life a little easier Thank-you for making my life a little easier 🙂 If there's ever anything I can do, using little pixels on a screen, you just let me know 😉

You start off by saying what a dissappointment you are to your family, and then go on to say how your Sisters enjoyed themselves and were happy to be quiet; that you had lunch out with them and are now watching a magical tale on TV before you begin crafts with them - I'm not seeing the dissappointment; that you meltdown sometimes, that makes each and every one of us a dissappointment 🙂 I'm seeing a family member, who's just had a surgical procedure, going out of there way to have a very enjoyable time with her Sisters 🙂 Not being able to sit back sounds more than just annoying to me! You poor thing! Can you use heat or cold packs?

Hope your resting right now

Niqua

Re: General chit chat

Hey Niqua

Im sure when you finish this adventure there will be plenty more including camping trips you've come to love.

Thanks Niqua. Im trying to just keep myself together and enjoy the time atm. I think im starting to get my wisdom teeth too. So thatll be fun.. yes thats why sleeping is so hard too i cant lay back or anything. Only lay on my left side which is extremely uncomfortable for me. All well ill get over it. Only another 9 more days till they come out now. .

Re: General chit chat

Hello Claire @outlander

I am Ok and hope you are too I am struggling a little, though I'm already feeling better 🙂 Like you and so many others, I have a neuro-biological disorder. The electo-chemical processes of my brain get a little more imbalanced than others and takes a little more time to balsnce back up - but that's ok 🙂 And like you I do not want to worry anyone, though Mazy cops a lot. I will be fine Claire , you need to focus on you I am still here for you

Wow, has it been 7 montsh since the pap smear! Time is someting I don't grasp very well 🙂 I wonder how long I've been on this furom? Feels like only yesterday 🙂

I gratefully receive your love and send it back 10 fold

Niqua

Re: General chit chat

Hi Niqua

I am sorry you are having a rough time - life can be that way and yes - it can be very hard if the electro-chemical processes in your brain take longer that most people's to settle at times - probably the times when you need them to the most

And Outlander - 7 months since your pap smear - I remember how scared you were and why - but Niqua has been with you as well this long - so great Niqua - we have been together about the same time too

It seems many people are battling atm - I thought when winter had past life would get over - well - we can all hope - we should all hope - our hope maintains the future possibility

All the best both of you

Dec
