Good Morning!

Gah! @TAB 40 degree heat is the pits. We haven't had it that hot in Melbourne for a few years now. Please take care of yourself. Did you hear back from aircon installer yet? We're halfway through summer almost.

will ring the guy tomorrow @Former-Member re a/c yeah was going to go another way . Eventually realised made no sense as could organise cheaper power and get proper units

Thanks for replies guys @TAB @Former-Member @saturnzoon

You are so insightful SG. I have been having intensity today. I know it's stuff that needs to come out, it's really not fun & it's hard work on my body, spirit.

I want to apologise for being a downer, that brightness in people around me is helping, & it hurts, that I am not there.

I think apologising, is not right. It's kind of saying that sad emotions are not acceptable.

And then, - idk, it is difficult to be around person who is sad. It can bring other person down.

I am at my only friends house rn. He has a friend come over - the friend said to me, ' I can chill out for the day."

I think that was very kind & perceptive.

Sad & hurt exists. I can't choose when it is going to appear. I can't run from it. I have to let it have it's time. At least, I think that's what I do. I honestly do feel guilty - a burden.

I have taken proactive steps & have 2 actions I can take over next few days.

They are about facing the DV & getting help.

DV/abuse not a lifestyle @StanD any steps you take are positive. @Former-Member

@StanD

@TAB Well I don't know how I would be in 40 degree heat. It would be so oppressive. I dislike extreme heat. I am forever washing myself down in hot weather. Had some aloe juice in the fridge. Going to mix it with some peppermint essential oil - both have cooling properties and just spray myself with it. Drink lots of water TAB. Do you have any electrolytes like coconut water or hydralyte? Stuff should get sorted out soon

in 2 days time be interesting here re temp @Former-Member fine now , got a/c on in next rm doors to this rm open and careful tuning of ceiling fans in each rm and 2 cheapo fans right in front of me = cool breeze .. lol

You got a plan @TAB! I used to close lots of doors. Its obviously going to be hotter in a few days time I take it

will be okay @Former-Member thanks yes 45 and 42 early next week lol

will be way better set up here next year prob decent bath inside and heavy curtains up, shadecloth screens outside few water feature outside for wind to blow over maybe.. alos more trees and shade etc etc

hugs @StanD if you are a hug person. Going through that kind of stuff is intense. Be kind to yourself, there is only one of you and the world would be less without you.

You're in my thoughts/prayers
