Just need some friends

Morning @__Argyle__ , @FracturedBeing , @tyme , @papermoon , @Honeymoon @Glisten @MissGremlin @ENKELI , @Appleblossom @Mustang67

how are you going today , sitting with you

Hi @Shaz51 besides being on here and adding names manually to the two posts from last night, I have been working on a spreadsheet. I love using spreadsheets, as it keeps my brain active. Mind you I can't remember all the functions of excel, but I remember the ones that I need for now.

How is your day progressing?

11.30 am here @Mustang67

And just thinking what to have for lunch

Been awake since 5am

Done a load of washing

Resting in front of TV for the afternoon

@Shaz51 I forgot you don't have day light savings. Lol

I am just about to get off the computer and lie down on the bed and start to read my book. I want to get this book over and done with as I have three books from Ravenwolf that I want to read. I find her very inspiring, and since I find myself in a less than idea living situation, I can do with all the inspiration that I can get.

I have lived in a caravan for a year before, but at that time I was saving up for a house deposit to build our dream home, so I had something to strive for, and it made the accommodation a bit more bearable. But this time, even though we are saving for bond and rent in advance etc, we are not guaranteed to get a rental, and we don't know how long it is going to take. So, the uncertainty is what is making me not be able to settle at the moment. I am sure I will settle into a routine soon enough. Especially once I start my exercise program and start to feel better about being able to live a sort of normal life soon enough.

It's funny, mum & I keep calling my current partner, by my previous partner's name, but it has only been since we moved into the caravan. It is like we both have gone back nearly 30 years to when my previous partner and I were here in the other caravan. It is a bit weird why we are doing this.

Hello friends @Mustang67 @FracturedBeing @__Argyle__ @papermoon ,

We all need friends and someone to check in on us from time to time.

How are you all?

@tyme I am plodding along ok today. I decided to have a glass of wine today while I was reading, but then later in the day I started to become teary. Now I remember why I don't drink wine. Lol

@tyme

Thanks for the check in.

I've been having a rough time of late.

I didn't really go into my whole story before. I've been on stress leave from work, while trying to get my work place to adhere to my workplace accommodations with regards to my disability.

I've recently been given an eviction notice, the owner wants to move back in. I've been here 10years, change is really hard for me. The whole process of finding a new rental is extremely stressful and daunting.

Mornings are really hard for me as I usually awake in a panic attack and it takes most of the day to calm myself.

But I still have been forcing myself out of the house most days. Even if I can't talk to people, being around them helps a little.

Hey @FracturedBeing ,

I'm so so sorry to hear all this is happening. That sounds so hard. As if the work saga wasn't enough... now you have to deal with an eviction notice. Moving is hard even for the best of us. It can be so so stressful.

Do you have people who can help you through this?

@tyme

I have reached out to a couple of people with help for the housing stuff, but although they said they would help, there has been no follow through. I feel needy by chasing them up on it. The more I ask for help, the less it gets offered. I've been struggling for so long, that I feel everyone is sick of me.

I have to go back to work on 16th. I think it will help in the short term having some routine, but I'm worried that all the issues I brought up to HR before I left are going to be left unresolved and the whole thing is going to unravel again.

I'm sorry that reaching out makes you feel 'needy' @FracturedBeing . Then again, I'm mindful that sometimes, people have to reach out to me numerous times, otherwise I forget things! I hope you find a way to reach out them, so you can tackle some of these a little bit at a time.

Then work is another beast altogether. I hope it goes well for you.

Do you have much to move? Are you able to start getting rid of things or packing things?
