Re: Taking the plunge
Morning @Former-Member @CheerBear @Maggie
I got woken by a crash this morning as Mr A climbed onto my laptop on the side table and it fell off. He's been pestering me since 3:30am and that was the final straw. He's fed now, and I've had coffee, but I'm feeling very tired and grumpy. It might take a few more coffees later this morning before the grump meter is dialed down.
I hope everyone's day is a reasonable one.

Re: Taking the plunge
@Former-Member I think the tings you mentioned are really important. The drive to see your dad and bro, the gym, and yes, some you time , while hubby is out. My bro has found he drinks more now the pubs are closed. I think so many are hoping for the restrictions to be lifted as life savers.
Sending warm thoughts @Former-Member, hoping today is one of the better ones for you. 🤞🤞🤞

I hope you get some rest now he’s fed. 💙💙☕️☕️☕️

Re: Taking the plunge
Always on the listen for your language @Maggie. I know it's hard for you to talk and have lots of respect for and appreciation of that. Staying silent as a protective way of coping plus being invisible - that takes lots of untwisting. Cleaning is a great way to organise and tidy when other things can not be organised or tidied. With you ❤
@Former-Member it's super hard for you with all you have to think about and do 😔 I hope the restrictions lift some pressure for you, even just a little. Mega hugs to you ❤
And you also @Sans911. Naughty Mr A 😏 Tired and grumpy is hard. I hope coffee helps ☕❤
I'm going to try and sneak in a little more gift stuff until the crew wake and start their day. Sherry and Sans - you up for another spotlight trip today too? 😆
Big ones of these ❤❤❤☕☕☕

Always up for Spotlight trip @CheerBear.
Hearing you all about restrictions being lifted. I miss sitting in a Cafe, sipping my flat white and reading the paper. Simple stuff really, but important.

Re: Taking the plunge
Calling by kind of quietly (but will tag a few who might be interested - @Maggie, @TheVorticon, @Former-Member, @Sans911, @eth and all) - I got the job 😊 I am SO excited and so proud. It's been a very long journey and a pretty emotional day for it today. Excited ups, insecure, nervous downs, and lots of reflecting. I have a very timely appt to vent it all out in the morning which I am super thankful for. I know I can do this but I know it's going to be tough and a big adjustment for a while and I'll have to watch stress etc. But I'll be really, really well supported too. It was so much fun to get the call. I almost exploded with feels 😆
Thank you so much for the encouragement and the support. It's meant a lot ❤
Yay! 😁🎉
