Re: not coping

i keep forgetting its the weekend @Snowie i work weekends so it always feels like a weekday!
can you do something over the weekend to help distract yourself? maybe take the kids and dog to the beach or a nature walk or take D driving in her new car?

Re: not coping

I'm glad I got out of it @Snowie , but as I said, I don't know how.

It just sort of happened. Hence I'm hoping above hopes it will be the same for others.

Re: not coping

You must get the days confused @outlander especially with working nightshift.

We are closer to forests then the beach. Actually they surround where I live. I would have to drive over an hour to get to the beach!

Not sure what our plans are for the weekend. H can sense something isn't right, so am hoping he doesn't push me.
