Thanks for your message a few hours ago bardot29. No need to be sorry. I know you're hurting. Looks like it's been a really hard night for you. Hugs ❤

@Maggie thanks for the coffee. Super nice to wake up to ☕❤ I managed a pre 5 wake up which is impressive I think, given my body is an hour behind still 😏 Thinking of you this morning.

More hugs @Former-Member. Sounds very hard. I'm thinking you haven't had any sleep with all that's gone on either. I wonder if there is something calming you can do to settle the feelings from overnight.

Oh no @Former-Member .... I have just seen your messages now ..... I am so sorry you have had such a hard night, and sorry that something is going on that feels really dangerous.

Please seek support around the drinking. You need and deserve strong support in your circumstances Hon. it matters that you are hurting so much too ..... 💜💕☕️☕️☕️💐🌷

Good morning @Maggie @CheerBear ... I missed your usual morning talks. Everyone seems a little quiet today. Are you both okay?

Waves to @Faith-and-Hope @Bunniekins ... infrequent but very welcome visitors to the thread.

@Former-Member 💜☕ Please take care.

Re: Taking the plunge

I was here quietly having my cuppa @Former-Member, thinking @Maggie may have been doing the same. Missed the chat a bit though, but silent chat is just as good sometimes I think.

I'm okay thanks. I realised I forgot to take my medication 2 out of the last 3 nights (at least) and I feel a bit off today which i am thinking is in part because of that. It's like a strange brain fog mixed with jitters and buzz. Tricky to explain. It'll pass (and I won't forget tonight). I just walked the kids up to school and feel yay about that 🙂. They were all hideously un-fun (cranky) this morning as I expected they might be which made it feel even better to wave them off lol 😉

How are you going this morning? How's the day looking for you (all)?

❤

Re: Taking the plunge

Thanks @CheerBear 😊 Glad you still had your cuppa. Hopefully @Maggie has too. Me on the other hand ... have not. Trying to get hubby out of bed for meds, breakfast, and then another round of meds. Not a good night, for either of us. I need that cuppa soon though.

OOps ... forgot your meds ... a bit careless @CheerBear . Hope things get back on track soon.

My day? Gee .. so much to do, and I dont know where to start. Feeling frazzled, overwhelmed, incapable. Leaving tomorrow for Perth ... hubbys family visit. Everything in upheaval now due to Hubbys brother. Hubby too has gone into meltdown.

Re: Taking the plunge

When I read that post @Former-Member the image that came to my mind was of my mum. I speak with her every morning, checking in to see how their night has been. The way her day starts depends on how my dad is (in all the ways). The selfless way you both give and care is incredible. It would be so hard Sherry, especially with your own stuff to manage. Imagining the stress you'd be under getting prepared (again, in all of the ways you need to prepare) for the trip too. Really feeling with you.

Lots of hugs and thoughts being sent to you ❤
