Re: Taking the plunge
I think I've escaped catching it for some amazing reason @Maggie. Big has been the most unwell, Little just a cold and Middle OK so Middle is off to school today. I think the others might be back tomorrow 🤞
It's frustrating when you go blank but maybe a sign of needing to take some you time, I don't know. It sure does make communication tricky though!
Wow that's huge with the taps! It will be so good to have it done. I really hear you with how bananas it can be to think of people coming in though. I would (and do) the same kind of cleaning frenzy with that stuff. It's a bit of a backwards one for you I imagine though, as the cleaning frenzy may have been not only tiring (and then some) but painful too :face_with_rolling_eyes: How much easier would life be if we didn't stress or flip? 😐 Will it all be done today?
I'm doing something kind of fun at the moment in planning a desk. Mine doesn't work well with two monitors and I can't find anything to fit the space in my room so I'm going to build one, or try to build one at least. I've always wanted to know how to use tools and to play with timber, but never had it in me. This is a big project but very exciting. I'll collect the timber and some tools (I am borrowing many others but would like my own drill and need a big thingy) tomorrow I think. It's been fun to work out and draw up 🙂

Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear Just when school goes back, everyone gets sick. Hard to fathom life sometimes. 🤞🤞🤞tomorrow, the Crew will all be back at school.
I’m not sure when it will be done. It was a phone call yesterday. Next will be when it’s happening. Yes to an achy body today. That frustrates me no end. Im not a happy camper today. Just not sure. Emotions are everywhere, I’m not unhappy either.
Oh I like the sound of your new project @CheerBear 👍👍👍👍 I have only ever done the kit set type of furniture making. Ended up with extra parts, but it still worked.
I have a drill which was given to some internals by counsellor. Very much fun, but much harder than it looks. Gave me respect for how hard tradies work. What’s the big ‘thingy’.? Maybe a wood cutter? My mind is really into it with you.👍👍💪💪💪

@CheerBear and anyone else around, ☕️☕️☕️💞💞💞
Hoping the Crew are well enough for school today @CheerBear , that might make today more manageable.
Any progress on the ‘project’.?

@Gazza75 That was nice to wake up to this morning. Thankyou. ☕️☕️☕️💪
I hope you have a good day, whatever that holds for you.💞💞
Not sure if you have caught the cold the Crew have had/still have @CheerBear . Hoping you are ok, but no pressure to respond either. Dropping off a strong one ☕️ or two ☕️☕️ and lots of 💞💞💞

Re: Taking the plunge
Oh no @Maggie. What happened with the taps?
I'm doing OK enough thanks. Busy and spreading myself a bit thin I think. I feel like I am juggling lots and dropping balls because of it. I'm working on how to manage that better.
How are you going? What colour has your week been?
Do you have counsellor today?

Re: Taking the plunge
I’m not sure what is happening with the taps @CheerBear . I’m now wondering if I imagined it. My head can get tricky with stuff like this. It could just be they are extra busy. I will find out eventually. 🙃🙃🙃
Counsellor came yesterday. She got herself mixed up in her diary. It happens to the best. 🤯🤯🤯
You have lots of new things to juggle atm. Getting it to a working order takes time. School is new now also. A new job, relationship, training. Plus family etc. That’s a lot for one person, even super woman. Remember Wonder Woman, you might be too young. 😂😂😂
My coulour is 🖤🖤 @CheerBear , tricky head stuff.

Re: Taking the plunge
Gosh that's super frustrating @Maggie. Especially with the added wonder about what you heard and what is actually happening. Is the bathroom still shiny and clean?
How's things with counsellor?
I feel quote torn @Maggie. It is becoming harder and harder to put 100% into everything. Work and working is awesome, but adjusting is going to take time, and maybe even more time than I thought it would 😑
I start my wood project this weekend which I am really looking forward to. I was super brave and went to the timber part of the big shop, measured it, picked it up, got it all cut down to fit the car etc all on my own. I've always been too scared to even try that so it felt good. Scary but good.
