Morning @NightFury my sweet, I'm sorry the catch up with your friend was cancelled. I get that lonely feeling all too well.
I'm around today if you wanna have a cuppa and chat together at some stage. I'm trying to keep myself connected here today while things are incredibly hard for me.
Sending you hugs sweetheart ❤️

Good morning @NightFury 💫
Sorry the plans fell through with your friend 😕
Sounds like you have planned a solid day though. Taking yourself out for lunch is a nice idea, treat yourself to something warm and yummy 😋 I think my local top temp is only about 13 as well. Time for us to rug up for sure!
You know what I haven't done in ages?! Coffee and cake at a cafe! Yum! I could totally go a fat piece of cheesecake or carrot cake with cream cheese icing and a strong cap (extra hot...cause I'm annoying like that 😇)
I hear you're lonely...I'm not ignoring that bit, I get lonely sometimes too. It's cool that we can reach out here and make connections though I know it's not the same. I hope you and your friend reschedule for some time soon.

Hey @NightFury
I’m really sorry your plans fell through, especially when it was something you were looking forward to and a chance to feel connected again
It sounds like you’ve got a lot of awareness around what helps you though, even recognising the need to keep some gentle structure in your day so you don’t slip into that spiral. The plan you’ve put together sounds really balanced too, a mix of getting out, doing something creative, and having some quieter time.
Hopefully you can still find a few small moments of connection or comfort in those things today, even if it’s not quite what you had originally hoped for.
Also, snow on the hilltops sounds beautiful, even if it does make for a pretty cold day ❄️

A coffee would be nice later in the day @MissGremlin
@hopeful_hannah I love your idea of cake and coffee, it's actually something I've been craving for the last couple of days, so maybe lunch, cake and coffee for desert is the way to go today?
@Nala2022 I've been pulled lately towards the need for connection, and this morning was really when it clicked that I'm feeling lonely. I am lonely for deep connection. Tackling some study allows me to do those things without feeling guilty. I can convince my brain that I've done something purposeful today and it's okay to do something creative or quieter.
I so want to say, so I will - "winter is coming!"

Early lunch @Shaz51 . Hope your back is better soon. I’m going to delay lunch as I had a late breakfast today and I can’t face cooking lunch just yet. Got to get up and let cat in.
