Re: Taking the plunge
Nice one @CheerBear . 👍👍👍👍
The head gives us a beating after a ‘ big’. Feeling good after it is a good sign. Hopefully you don’t have to wait too long for results. 🤞🤞🤞 I’m proud of you too. You do an amazing job with all that’s on your plate. 💙💙💙
I remembered you have gig today. Another juggling act.
My curtains arrived yesterday, so they went up. Not quite the colour I saw on the screen, but they are ok. Also a coles order in the afternoon.
Today I’m going to try cauliflower with cheese sauce. Bro has asked me to give it a try, he’s asked a few times now, so before I ring him again, I’ll see how it turns out.
I think @Sans911 might be in the land of nod....I hope so. 💚💚

Re: Taking the plunge
Thanks heaps @Maggie. I've been pretty emotional during this whole process thinking about the step that it is. I really, reeeeally hope it was good enough 🤞🤞🤞🤞
The juggling is bonkers sometimes. I always hold my breath and just hope the crew are chill. Bonkers times.
That's exciting with the curtains! How many did you get? Are you happy with the colour they are?
I looooove cauliflower with cheese sauce. Have you made it before? Nice to connect with bro like that I think ❤ I hope he's doing OK enough.
@Sans911 sorry if I changed the course of the conversation. Always a worry to jump in when people are talking about big stuff. I hope you're OK and getting some rest or sleep. It's been a tricky couple of nights for you. Big ❤

Re: Taking the plunge
No, just giving you both your catch up time @Maggie @CheerBear
Cheerbear, I've never doubted your capability to do anything you put your mind to. You have a natural empathy for many others. I've also been a little in awe of you 😊because you often seem so capable.
So don't doubt yourself so much. But like @Maggie said there are often the analysis after the event and the woulda, coulda, shoulda. Hold your head high for just doing it. Hooping for a positive outcome.

Re: Taking the plunge
Don't apologise @CheerBear at all. I'm was just keeping @Maggie company until you cameo, and I'm going to side step out so you can chat about things. I feel like I'm in the way right now so take care of yourselves and enjoy your day! 💕 💕 💕 💕

Re: Taking the plunge
Thank you so much @Sans911 for being so encouraging too. I have found your determination and resilience inspiring.
Please don't step aside here. You're definitely not in the way and I am sorry if it seems that way.
I just made us all another cuppa (its a magic one that can change to whatever drink you'd like in case coffee isn't your thing rught now). My cats are telling me loudly that it is their breakfast time.
Are you doing OK? How's your day looking today?

Re: Taking the plunge
I’ve no doubt you were/are good enough @CheerBear
It’s bonkers for sure. So many are finding this really really hard on many levels. The uncertainty and endlessness of it all.
I got two curtains to go over the sliding door. Taking the old blind down was tricky, but my usual cussing, puffing and blowing got it done. The colour is natural, ok enough. I put some in the bedroom a few weeks ago. One more window and I’m done.
No, never done cauliflower with cheese sauce before. I can see a lost kitchen day.
@Sans911 Thanks for the early morning company. I’m enjoying getting to know you. It comes with no, or little sleep at your end. I hope you manage rest today, and some play. 💙💙💙

Re: Taking the plunge
It made it tricky to do the things yesterday @Maggie and think beyond this all consuming time. Trying to remember events and situations (and even who I am to an extent) before this and imagine a life after. It sounds silly but the walls of the house have closed in. I know it won't be too long before they're opened up again but right now 'all consuming' is the way it seems. I know that was understood and respected yesterday but can't help be a little frustrated at how extra tricky things are at the moment. The little crew's move to online helped a lot and took a lot of pressure off me to supervise, watch, encourage, motivate etc. This Way it was set tasks and no question about how much to do and how to do it. I think that part will be easier from here.
So cool to think of you putting your own touch on your home and making it homely ❤ It's been a long and difficult journey and perhaps gives even more to the importance of having 'home'.
My tricky with cauliflower and cheese sauce is to rub some grated cheese with breadcrumbs and sprinkle over the top. Gives it a little texture. I hope you enjoy it however you make it. Can I come for dinner please?! 🤤

Re: Taking the plunge
I think it’s making everything so much trickier @CheerBear . I think the expression you used of the ‘ walls Closing is’ is a really good one, and it is ‘ all consuming ‘. No way out feeling. We all know it will end, just not when, and what will it look like after? Will it all be different? Trick and scary.
School work is sounding easier this week. 👍👍👍 Possibly the Crew think so too.
I need some roots @CheerBear , and I’m finally putting some down here. It’s simple and basic, and that’s pretty much me all over. I put some vegs in the front garden last week, Counsellor grows all her veg, so she brought some seedlings.
I have to look up a recipe for the cauliflower sauce. Are they fresh breadcrumbs you use, or dried? Yes, i’ll Set a place for you at the craft table. We can eat and drool at the same time. 😄😄😄

Re: Taking the plunge
Thanks for the early morning tag @Maggie .... 👋💕
Hi @Sans911 @CheerBear ☕️🌷
I was up late and have slept in enough to have had an okay number of hours rest. About to boot myself out of bed for an overdue shower and get back to my assignment.
Wishibg y'all an okay day.
