Re: not coping

I guess it was a productive day @outlander doesn't really feel that way however.

Have you got anything on for tomorrow at all?

Re: not coping

true @Snowie but you still did some things though. i honestly done more sitting around then anything else.

i am giving a lesson tomorrow but thats prob it, might just spend some time at the paddock or something, possibly paddock clean abit so i dont fall too far behind.
trying to stay off my foot. ive really only got 3-4 weeks to get it better before i will have to cancel a really good opportunity thats coming up and have been planning for months

Re: not coping

I hope you don't have to cancel your opportunity hon @outlander That would be upsetting for you.

Hopefully your foot starts to improve soon, since you have been trying to stay off it.

I was going to go birthday shopping with D tomorrow, but now that we have gone back into lockdown we won't be doing that. Have to try and buy her some presents on line now.

Re: not coping

yep might have to do it online! abit of a pain cause then you have to wait for delievery etc but i guess its the way it is atm. we are week 10 in lockdown and its just been extended by another 5 weeks

Re: not coping

This lockdown certainly is going on for awhile @outlander We were alright until today when they put vic regional into lockdown again.

I am worried now that my psych appointment will go back to online now. I really don't like talking online to my psych. I find it hard to get the privacy at home especially because the kids will be home schooling too.

I hope it isn't cancelled for you hon, you deserve something nice to look forward too.

Re: not coping

yep its hard to talk, it feels like the walls are listening! @Snowie its why i go talk out in the car now if i need to or i will go elsewhere even around near a park or something.

i am both excited and really worried about it. mostly the accomodation thing, im not sure im going to be to comfortable with it but i guess will soon find out!

Re: not coping

It does feel like the walls are listening @outlander

I am just worried how much my MH will go down without being able to see my supports.

I hope it goes ahead hon. It sounds like a big thing and some time away would be great too.
