Re: Taking the plunge
No sorry needed @Maggie. That is a massive blow for you. So totally understandable that you're not OK. It's not OK at all 😔 That would drive so many questions and doubts and feelings for me too.
My fix-it brain is in overdrive wanting to work out a way to make it better because it can't be like this. But I know fix it doesn't help from this end and that there will be people who can help fight this for you, and I know that even though it can't and shouldn't be like this is it is. I hate it all.
I felt a bit of a shudder thinking of the manager coming for a chat with you like that. That sounds manipulative and intimidating. And now to have to stay for another couple of days 😔 I'm So sorry.
Is your counsellor coming today?

Re: Taking the plunge
Thanks @CheerBear yes, counsellor is coming at 10. She helps me to remember that there are good people. We will fight this together. She knows how things have been for the past 14 mths here, so, we will get through it.
How’s today looking for you? Did you wear glitter boots last night? I have questions and questions. I’m excited for you both. A good feeling this morning, so Thankyou for that. 💕💕💕

Re: Taking the plunge
I'm so glad you have your counsellor on your side and in your corner @Maggie. This stuff can send us into very dark places. I really am sorry to hear it's happened. There aren't many words but there's lots and lots of understanding and sitting with you 🙁💜
Today is looking good for me thanks. It's been a very full on week of lots of big feelings but I made it. My reward and my time out is new video game weekend for us all. Sibling splurged and added a new handheld console for me (over the top birthday present 😉) and one for them, taking it to four Nintendos in the house for four copies of the new game that came out today. One of mine isn't interested in this game but enjoys a different game so sibling picked that up for them to play on the Playstation this weekend. Full geek house this weekend and an exciting one at that 😁
I'm thinking of writing an email to a teacher (who is now a principal) that big had early in their school years who nurtured something they saw in them. I want to share where Big is at and thank them for the role they, without doubt, played in that. I started drafting it this morning and might finish that up before I play. I think it should be OK to send, maybe.

Oh @CheerBear Happy Birthday. I must have missed the shout out. Missing lots atm.💜💜💜🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎉🎊🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎀🎀🎀🛍🛍
Sounds like a much needed weekend. Rest and games. 👍👍👍👍
I imagine the teacher receiving your email will feel proud and a sense of accomplishment themselves @CheerBear . You are a good person to think to do that. 👍👍💕💕

Re: Taking the plunge
You didnt miss it @Maggie 🙂 My birthday is a secret here 😉😊
I tried to find you a pic to leave as I head off to nudge kids up and moving. But there's not a lot that felt right today. It's dark and it sucks and it isn't right or fair or OK. It's OK to not be OK or OKish right now. Thinking of you and here with and for you ❤

Re: Taking the plunge
Feeling very proud of Big's achievements, on your behalf @CheerBear . You are such a great mum, and person overall. You have nurtured your children in a way which has allowed them to thrive. You should be very proud of yourself for that.
@Maggie Angry and upset about situation with your current accommodation, and dissappointed about delay in moving to new. Hope your counsellor can help today.
I have apt with my GP today. Not looking fwd to going into town today. At least, with fire situation easing around here, there should be fewer news crews and pollies around the place.
Have best day possible everyone.
Sherry 😀💕

Re: Taking the plunge
I am surfacing from the cave that is our lounge room at the moment, seeing the light of day after playing our game since school drop off 😁 So, sooooo good. Looking forward to hearing whether @TheVorticon enjoys it also. So. So. Good.
@Maggie I hope seeing counsellor was helpful. Thinking of you ❤
@Former-Member thanks for your very lovely message. So nice of you to say 😊 I hope your trip into town was OK enough.
Hi to everyone here 👋 Hope the day is going OK. Back to catch 'em all 😉😁👍

Re: Taking the plunge
I’m hoping you might be back in the cave/lounge game etc @CheerBear . It’s sounds like just what the dr ordered.
Yes, visit with counsellor went really well Thankyou. Moving time is 9am Mon. I will be here at the beginning, then counsellor will do the rest while I’m at specialist app. By lunch time it will be done.
Sending these to you for your cave relaxation and fun. 💜💜💜💜💜👍👍👍👍👍👍🤞☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️

Re: Taking the plunge
It did arrive today but I went out after work so have only played 15mins - just up to picking a starter @CheerBear 😄 Galar looks really pretty and I've taken so many screenshots. Think I'm going to have to make myself one of the posters either from Hop's bedroom or the main character's Eevee poster. I'm imagining you making a Sophie blanket thing in the shape of the pokeball rug from the main character's bedroom 😄 Not that it would be very fun pattern-wise. 😛
Glad to hear you're enjoying it, and I hope you had/have a happy birthday for whenever it was/is. 🙂
