Re: Taking the plunge

Just not wanting to be a pest @CheerBear . You know those beasty internal conversations where no one on the planet wants you anywhere. 😩😩😩

Re: Taking the plunge

I sure do @Maggie. You're not a pest ever (and I'll keep saying that 😉😝) but I get that it can feel that way.

How was your yesterday?

I'm still in bed but bladder and a need for coffee will make me get up soon. Guessing you might be beyond cup one. Top up?

Re: Taking the plunge

P.s. just read the post above wirh more awake eyes - I'm really sorry you're having the no-one wants me anywhere feelings. That's a super :pile_of_poo: place to be. Was there any thing in particular that triggered them or is it the everythings/nothings, usual kind of thing.

I'm so glad you're here @Maggie ❤

Only sipping cup one @CheerBear . A very much can’t be bothered mood, and an early one. ☕️💕

Thanks, you’re very kind. 💜💜

How’s your hair looking?

I did washing and some cleaning yesterday. Then my once a year friend called around again. Unusual, but she’s going through a rough patch. Turning 40 can be tough. Some dreams not happening.

How’s your bladder going, and coffee. Hope you don’t have to dash out to the servo. 😁😁

Re: Taking the plunge

My hair is looking fab thanks @Maggie (I think anyway haha) 😁 The don't mess with me look helps me 😊 It's very Velcro feeling under my beanie though!

How was it to see once a year friend again? Often hard when dreams aren't happening. A few I know have talked about 40 being that way.

I get the everything nothing 🙁💜🐶🐱🌳👨‍✈️

Counsellor today?

No feral servo run for me this morning! We're off to a good start here ha!

Velcro feels @CheerBear 💜💜 I get the head stroke/handshake feels with mine. Some just aren’t sure. I notice ?marks on their faces. Lol. But here, they see me as ..’ different’, I like ‘different ‘. I get told I look sad etc. but it’s just that I keep to myself, stretching that quite a bit. They don’t really know what to do with me. I like that. 👍👍

Yes, Ive forgotten the turning 40s. But it is tough. She wants to marry, have kids. The wedding day experience. Hard to know what to say, but I think she just needs to be heard.

Yep, counsellor today. 💕💕 We talked a little on the phone yesterday, so will continue that today. She’s such a gift to this world @CheerBear to me. 💜💜

Off to a good start for you today 👍👍👍 Are you Heading to 2nd home later?

Re: Taking the plunge

Different is here also @Maggie, and like you I like that people don't know how to take me/what to do with me. I like/need to break down stereotypes. "You're actually really nice" is something I have heard a bit and that comes from the way I outside look. I want to say a soapbox thing about judgement and looking beyond the surface but I don't (often). I like kids for their curiosity over judgment 😊

I was wondering if the 40s feels were about things like kids and marriage. Being heard is such a gift and your friend is lucky to have you.

So, so glad you have the gift that is your counsellor. I love hearing about her and can feel the kind and gentle presence she has in your life.

2nd home tomorrow. I have one of mine out this afternoon, one out tonight and an extra one here overnight. A bit of dashing around but they're all looking forward to doinf their things.

Morning @eth and @Former-Member who I notice about also 👋💜

Re: Taking the plunge

Yea, kids and curiosity over judgment @CheerBear. I like that. 😍😍 Acceptance too, and honestly OMG. But never offensive, or I haven’t felt offended by kids. Same with animals, just love and acceptance, no questions asked or needed.

You have a bit of here and there today, to and fro. Keeping you on your toes.

I hope 2nd home is ok ish tomorrow, tricky atm, big feels 💕💕💕💕

More rain here today. Wind has gone thank goodness.
