Re: Taking the plunge
@Faith-and-Hope I am pleased it is giving you distraction and some reprieve my friend. I didn't realise you had married children - yes being close to them would be a nice place to rest. I hope to build this bond with my daughter once she moves too. The change will take time to adjust my friend but in time you will and enjoy the positives that will come with it. In the meantime we are here walking with you through this. 🤗❤️💜❤️💜🌹x

Re: Taking the plunge
Hi @Maggie ....
How are you today ?
I wanted to ask you about this ..... Bubbles is struggling a lot, and what she is describing sounds plural to me, even though she is being treated with antipsychotics for it.
I am reluctant to tag you into my reply posts to her without asking you how you feel about that. I know you were trying to reach out to her last week ....

Re: Taking the plunge
@Faith-and-Hope I'm following along but scare of making the situation worse. I've thought mine were out to get me earlier on, but I had to work it out myself, plus she might be dealing with something else,,she talks of cluster can't remember the other part or it.

Re: Taking the plunge
I understand @Maggie .... I figured you would be speaking up if you felt it would help,
And yeah, I get that there are some things that we sorta have to work out for ourselves in our own individual situations.
I guess from that last exchange that it is helpful to her to try something that substantially distracts her, so I will try to work from that, and hopefully others will join in.
Thanks
💜

Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear I'm always prowling around at night. What I'd give to be able to sleep, just a few hours.,oh well, no light here, black as night outside. You will be getting LF up and about in a few hrs, I might join you with a coffee. My fur baby is sound asleep. Hope your day has some pleasant moments mixed in. 💛💛💛

Re: Taking the plunge
I think lots of things would be made much easier with proper, solid sleep @Maggie, as I am sure you do too. I try really hard not to fight my sleep stuff because it doesn't make me sleep any better when I do. It's annoying though.
It's very dark here too, though it is clear and the moon is shining bright.
Does your fur baby sleep with you? I made the mistake of stirring up Noodle cat when I made my coffee so he's running around talking loudly and thinking it is play time. Big will be up at 6:30 and the others at 7 so I have a little bit of very quiet time. I'm going to do some reading I think.
I hope there's something that gives you a smile today too Maggie 🙂

Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear Yes I must say I envy a good sleeper. No @CheerBear I sleep with her !!!!!! It's her bed which I'm allowed to share..I wouldn't have it any other way, she's my world.
Noodle cat sound lovely. They love a play in the mornings don't they. Sometimes when my baby wakes, she runs up and down the bed, then I get a complete face wash. So many mornings I only make it to the door because of her, then, another step, and another.
Busy time for you soon. Gentle hug.

Re: Taking the plunge
haha that gave me a big smile that you sleep with your fur baby not the other way around @Maggie. They definitely have a way of making their way into our hearts. My Mouse cat owns my room (her room). I think she owns my pink fluffy blanket too, and I am allowed to borrow it sometimes 😉
A face wash and a happy to see you run around the bed is a pretty lovely way to wake up!
We have floorboards here and Noodle is BIG and clumsy. I hear an incredible thump, thump, thump as he races up and down the hallway. We have a couple of floor mats and one of his favourite things to do is race up the hallway then pounce and slide the mat along the floor. It's so funny to see what state the house is in in the mornings sometimes. Mouse is the opposite, so stealthy and so quiet (though very playful when she wants to be). She doesn't meow, she squeaks and only to me. I swear she watches Noodle sometimes thinking that she's embarrassed that he's part of her species 😛
