Re: Taking the plunge
Ha ha re the chicken coop @CheerBear . Been there, done that. In one of my previous flats I was looking into it. There are ready made, but pricey. Do-it-yourself could be fun. I love chooks. Gently creature. Fresh eggs. They taste so much better than bought. Counsellor gets some from a farm for me and herself. We know they are treated well, and get a decent farewell at the end. You tube have everything. I looked into pallet unpright gardens. I got lost there for a while dreaming. Enjoy your dreaming, it might become reality. 💚💚
I’m glad you had a nice time with well person yesterday @CheerBear. Sometimes stuck isn’t all bad, just stop stuck.
Yea, tomorrow will be tricky. The Crew will have so much to share. Hopefully, it’s not too stressful for everyone.
It will be a bit of a weird feeling with painting lady, but she’s a lovely soul. Easy to be with. I think we will be chatting a bit. Once the ice is broken, it should be fine.

Re: Taking the plunge
@Shaz51 I’m concerned about the blue around your mouth. I hope you go to your dr just to check it out. 💞💞
I hope it’s not to busy in your world today, but if Mr Shaz still has a sore knee, you might be at home. Whatever the day holds for you, I hope there is good in today.
@CheerBear So today is the start of many things new for you and the Crew. A busy morning ahead with school and work preparation.
Dropping off a strong one to get you started. ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️ I hope it’s a good day all round. 💜💜💜

Morning to any and all☕
@Shaz51 ❤ I hope today is a better one for you and Mr Shaz.
@Maggie very much in need of strong today, thank you. It is a big one today and I had very little sleep last night 😏
How was your yesterday? Do you have painting lady today?

Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear Sorry about getting very little sleep last night.
Is it all the today stuff?
Yes, Painting lady today. I’m having a morning where I’d like the world to stop and let me off. Unfortunately, from past experiences, that won’t happen. It will pass.
Strong one here, second. ☕️☕️☕️

Re: Taking the plunge
It was a bit busy in my head last night, thinking about everything to remember this morning @Maggie, but I also had/have Mr Person here and we were having some big talk. He has no internet at home so he asked if he could work from here for a couple of days. It will be strange having us both here at work today.
Is the wanting the world to stop coming from something in particular? That's a hard one when you have to do the social thing 🙁

Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear Another big added to you ‘ big’ list. Yes, it will be strange having Mr Person working at home also, but it might be good . Distractingly maybe.
I though of cancelling @CheerBear , but trying to explain can be worse. It might help to stop the growing gremlins in my mind. Complicated living like this. Yes some particular, and no some general. I can’t even get a muddle, without extra muddled.

Re: Taking the plunge
Aside from a short-ish break during the day it is go, go, go @Maggie so there won't be time for distraction. Also because of the sensitive nature of the work I do, I need to be alone so he'll have the dining room while I'm in my bedroom, then tomorrow we'll swap as I just have a couple of meetings and more training over the next couple of days. The strange will come from having someone extra here and needing to shut them out haha.
Muddles can be like snowballs I think. They grow quickly and can take over. It sucks a lot and it's very hard to think about trying to do anything normal-ish (whatever 'normal' actually means :face_with_rolling_eyes:) with lots of twisted happening. I really hope that having her there feels less tricky than it seems it might be. Sometimes it can happen that the before is harder than the during 🤞
Did you rearrange the table for painting yesterday?

Re: Taking the plunge
Yes, I understand it takes all your concentration at work @CheerBear . Go go go on little sleep is tricky. I guess Mr Person will be full on work concentration also. Smoke rising from the ceiling today by the sound of things. He he, needing to shut him out.
Yes, snowballs happen fast. Often it’s more out there thinking than reality, with reality twisted in and around. Yes to the before is harder than the during. I’ll find my fine face, and melt afterwards.
More training. You are being well trained, really good stuff. So important to get a so,I’d grounding. Does it help with your personal stuff?

Re: Taking the plunge
Sorry @Maggie. I should change my name to DisappearsWithNoNotice 😆 The crew are up and lunches and breakfasts were being done. I have not missed school lunches! They're like a whirlwind of nervous and excited energy this morning, exactly as expected. It's been 12 weeks today since they were last at school. That's a very long time. I feel very mixed about it today and glad I have work to take my mind from it.
I am being so well trained which is awesome. I'm also taking every opportunity I can to particpate in it, which thankfully there is a lot of. The growth and learning environment is a huge part of why I love this place. I think it does help on a personal level too. There's things like learning about trauma, anxiety etc. Some of it is challenging, especially the risk related stuff. I think I desperately want to get it right after having been on the receiving end of it being so wrong too many times. It's giving me a look at things from the other side too, which challenges some beliefs and attitudes I've had. Lots to think about there.
I really, really hope it goes well for you today. It's big to even be thinking about having someone over in this way when you are feeling as you are. The 'fine face' can be helpful in some ways and not in others. We're here for any melting after it.
I'd best be moving. Big love and an extra strong cup (or three) to go ❤☕💜☕💚☕
