Re: Taking the plunge
Wow that's not what I expected @Maggie (55 people, shared laundry, corridor-ish...). I have a vision in my mind of a few self-contained units together, with a little garden with high fences to hide out/escape and flowers out the back, and a front yard of your own with a bird bath and windy path, and lots of green grass. That's the optimistic dreamer in me I guess as I know you've said it's not like that.
It would be super hard being a private person, to live with so many in a small space. I guess lots of people there would have a need for social interaction that doesn't match your needs or wants yet you, being a kind person, go with it in a way. Brain fry. I find people a tricky thing. It's like I have an innate desire to have people around but not too many, not always, only some not all etc. Very push pull. I read something interesting a while ago about being introverted. To look at me you'd think I was quite extroverted but I feel more introverted. I think I always misunderstood introversion as the explanation I read says it's about finding recharge within ourselves. We need safe, quiet, peaceful time, away from others to be able to function socially I guess. I have a feeling you might be able to relate to that. Very hard when you can't get it.
That would feel good to know counsellor is back home and not far away. It's been a while for you.
@Gazza75 Hey 🙂 Good to see you. Hearing you with the confuzzled feels! Grrr for your phone crack. Mine cracks and scratches way too easily too. So annoying!
I hope you have some rain too. Water is something I know I take too much for granted.
I better get a move on too. The day feels like it's escaping me already 😑 Grrrr clocks changing!
Hope you and furbaby enjoy your grass, even if it isn't as metaphorically green as you deserve @Maggie 💚💚💚

Re: Taking the plunge
@Gazza75 Oh no to water. I wish we could send some of ours up your way. So very difficult in so many ways I think.
At the gym already. I hope that’s a good start to your day today. We are having showers later, but it’s not cold.
Hows the diamond painting going? ☕️☕️☕️☕️👍👍👍

Re: Taking the plunge
Thanks @Maggie, it will rain at some point. I only just fixed part of my guttering and pipes, part of it had fallen off somehow. I have to get some more pipes to finish the job. Thought I had some out there, but not quite enough to do what I need.
It's been an alright start to the day, did a little diamond painting an d got. A bit restless so headed to the gym for a little bit. I will head off to get servo. Coffee soon. ☕☕😁
This is the latest work in progress.

Re: Taking the plunge
@Gazza75 You sound like quite a handy man around your property. That would save lots of $$$$ I think.

Enjoy your ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
You’ve gone quiet again @Former-Member 💜💜💕💕 ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️ Hope you are doing ok ish. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Re: Taking the plunge
@Maggie, I can do bits and pieces. You pretty much have to learn if you live remote. Costs too much to get. People out to help.
Gym helps a lot, but, I haven't got the energy or motivation that I had. I will keep.at it though, it's better than nothing.
I hope you can sort some better living arrangements soon Maggie, it must be hard where you are now and the not knowing, waiting. I would go.crazy.
@Former-Member have all my bits crossed for your team today. Thanks for tagging me earlier. 🍀🍀♥️♥️☕☕

Re: Taking the plunge
I'm trying @Maggie for my own safety and welfare. But its so hard. 😞 Happy to hear your counsellor is back.
Still waiting to see pic of your latest DP project. @Gazza75
Last day before school goes back @CheerBear ... Yay, .. you did it!
Waves to @Faith-and-Hope whom I just spotted. Also @Zoe7 😞💔. Sending love to @Former-Member as well. Hoping your D is doing well.

Re: Taking the plunge
I hope something changes here too @Gazza75 and I have very much gone crazy waiting.

I’m off to the shower and puppy poo time. Hope your day is as good as it can be.💕💜❤️

Re: Taking the plunge
Hmmm @Maggie ... I dont think so. She seemed to want us to know, so I'm sure all is good there.
Enjoy your shower, at least its not a community or shared one ... or is it?
And keep up that rebel attitude and walk on the grass and do the fertiliser thing, any time you and little Maggs feel like it.
Hopeful for you getting some action soon on a new set of digs. Speaking of which, any more news or contact from the pollie?
Sherry 💜👍

Re: Taking the plunge
@Former-Member Thankyou for you know what. Sick feeling but hope you’re right.
Yes, the Polly has sent an email with copies of the letters from counsellor and dr, plus asking to release info as to how long I might still have to wait. Swinging from hopeful to hopeless, but understandable under the circumstances.
I would be a very smelly individual if It was a shared shower @Former-Member . Thankfully, I have one of my own.💕💕
Will be thinking of you as you prepare for your Perth trip. I hope BIL is doing ok. 💜💜💜
