Re: Taking the plunge
I'm busting to show you @Maggie 😊
I'm sad for and with you and for others. Your choice to go in and head to MH was really brave. Twisted that the positive is that it wasn't a long term investment 🙁 It should be a comfort for all not some select who fit in, I agree.
I'm glad you have something therapeutic to get into today. I hope it doesn't hurt tomorrow though. Love the idea of having ferns to get in spring. Love the idea of spring in general. It's been a long winter already.
I think I will sew today, if I can get the house back to livable and the cupboards sorted with food (fairies want me to spell food as "goof" 😂) and dig out some fabric. I picked up my sewing machine yesterday too, which has been at people's house. Sewing masks for us, siblings and well/unwell ones. Also twisted that crafty stuff has come to this but I haven't used the machine for ages so it should be fun. Might teach Big how to so they can make some 🤔. Little helped me screw in all the pieces of wood last night. They had heaps of fun with the drill driver 😁
Better start. I have more work to do than hours to do it in, and would like some creating time at some stage.
Mega love. I hear and see how hard and hurtful it is. You matter and I'm thankful you're in my life 😘

Hi @Maggie @CheerBear Miss chatting, but I don't want to interfere. I don't really have much to say, but, hi. Hope you're going ok. ☕️☕️💖💖

Re: Taking the plunge
You never interfere @Former-Member, but I’m like that on other threads, so I understand what you mean.💞💞
I’m Not going well at the moment, but i’m not alone feeling this way. 😥😥
I read hubby broke his leg and you are nurse. That must be really hard. Life doesn’t get any easier, that’s for sure.
Always good to see you when you are up to it. Talking or not. 💞☕️

😥 Sending a gentle hug, if that's OK, @Maggie ? (Please just ignore if not)

Re: Taking the plunge
Thankyou @NatureLover. Online hugs are very very welcome. 🤗🤗 Offline is a different story. 😫😫
How are you going? If you would like to share.

Re: Taking the plunge
Oh, I'm glad online hugs are welcome 🙂 @Maggie
I'm sorry that offline ones aren't... 💔
I'm doing OK at the moment, thanks...I realise that I'm fortunate to not mind lockdown at all (I'm in Melbourne), when so many people find it difficult and distressing.
I really hope things look up for you soon...

Re: Taking the plunge
Lockdown is really hard for so many, and for different reasons @NatureLover. You are lucky it’s not getting you down.
I’m in Tasmania, so a long way from Melbourne. We are completely out of lockdown, so back to normal.
I’m not one for going out a lot, but knowing the freedom is there, I think makes a difference.
I will get through this rough patch, I’ve been through much worse. Thanks for your kind thoughts, they all certainly help.
Hope your afternoon is a pleasant one.
