Re: Taking the plunge
I have been tapping away at this application for way, waaaay longer than I needed to. Serious eye rolling at how hard it's been. Perfectionism perhaps, or maybe it feels super humongously important that I give it everything I have. I am so close to finishing it now. It's taken a lot to get to this point. I feel relieved just thinking it will not be on my mind soon but it isn't there yet.
We have plastics appt first thing in the morning tomorrow and a sibling arriving early to help out (yay - can't wait to see them). It means I have to tidy up the house and organise school for Little all before we leave.
Long story short, I am putting myself on a forum ban until I at least get home from the appt so I make myself hopefully not be a headless chook in the morning. I'm leaving the kettle on and a couple of cups out Maggie, Sherry, Snowie, TheVorticon, outlander, Appleblossom... whoever would like one ☕☕☕☕☕☕
Hope everyone is sleeping or resting. I should probably do that at some stage 🤔:face_with_rolling_eyes:🤪
👋 and ❤ and a 👻 just cos.

Re: Taking the plunge
Haha I wish I had that kind of belief but thanks @Zoe7.
You buzzing like me? I have some serious silly hour buzz happening.

Re: Taking the plunge
Yes buzzing too @CheerBear . Finished most of my painting and still on a high - might be the paint lol Cleaned the kitchen, folded clothes and cleaned all painting things up. I have had my meds but so far still wide awake.
I do have belief in you and I really hope you get this position - they would be lucky to have you

Re: Taking the plunge
Haha to the paint buzz @Zoe7. You've been super productive tonight. Unfortunately that doesn't usually work well with sleep though 😖
Thanks again. I feel better about it than I did after almost finishing the application tonight. Maybe a bit like something @TheVorticon suggested can happen.

Re: Taking the plunge
I'll have to read back to see what @TheVorticon said @CheerBear
I slept half the day away so didn't get to the painting until late - and then just kept going. I have some touch ups to do and a second coat on one part then I can clean the floor and move all the furniture back. I also sanded a small table and ground down some metal bits so I have that to stain and varnish tomorrow also.
Starting to finally wind down so hoping for sleep soon. Tobes is out like a light on the top of the couch ...laying upside down all spread out - but as soon as I move he will too. He has been following me around all night and laying at the bottom of the ladder ..so cute.
How are your fur babies?

Re: Taking the plunge
Hope today goes ok enough @CheerBear .
Almost done with your resume. 👍👍👍
Thanks for the early coffee, leaving one for you on the run. ☕️☕️💙💙
By the look of it you and @Zoe7 you had no sleep last night. I hope you both catch some naps today.
@Zoe7 I’ve been reading bits and pieces of your painting etc. it sounds lovely. I hope you are pleased with your, very hard work.
No doubt school is challenging for everyone, teachers and students. Hopefully an end in sight. Lots of these for you. 💜💜💜
@Appleblossom I think I have them all OCD , weird and funky. Mixed with creative, it’s gets scary ( in a funny way). I hope the don gloves , boots and pavers, are worth the challenge. Mine ended in a bit of a muddy mess. Not sure what it’s like now, it was a few flats ago. 😂😂

Re: Taking the plunge
I am failing dismally at my self-imposed forum ban this morning but I just wanted to share that, after almost no sleep last night and 14 billionty hours of stress, I finally finished the application 🎉! It feels SO good. Now to read over it a gazillion times, question everything and still not be totally comfortable, but hey 😉😜
@Maggie I hope your morning has started off well enough. Did you work with any colour yesterday? I can't remember whether counsellor is coming today but I hope however your day goes it has something that feels good in it. ☕❤
@Zoe7 it was really nice to briefly bump in to you at ridiculous o'clock. My littlest furball decided she didn't want me chatting on here anymore and cuddled up to help me rest ❤ They're all going well thanks. I hope you manage some rest today after your buzzy night.
@outlander sending you hugs. You too @Former-Member ❤
Shower, dishes then clinic. Today is feeling doable again. I've got this 👍
