Re: Taking the plunge
I had thought about putting some kind of reference in there, to this year. Will keep thinking on it. It's definitely supposed to be a colour in the darkness kind of one.
Tricky night, yes. Unsettled and nightmare-ish. My bad for watching videos of police violence before bed 😏

Re: Taking the plunge
An everything kind of black cloud @CheerBear . I think it hovers, then covers. It’s good to have something to push through with. Sometimes, it’s doesn’t happen, but when it does, it’s good, worthwhile and a self help, lifeboat. Sometimes you have to save yourself from drowning, if you can swim long enough. 🐟🐠🐡🐬
In years to come, you might be amazed at what you did in this present crisis. A lifeboat maybe ? Colour, definitely.
Oh, the replaying of the video, and remembering. Sorry. I have to be careful watching stuff, even sometimes I’m unaware of how it’s affecting me, till the night comes in. Oh those nights are scary. I hope you can have a bit of down time today, rest even, maybe.

@CheerBear I just saw a lovely thing on sunrise. They are talking about Victoria, and put it like this We’re for ❤️ictoria. People are realising how hard it is, and coming together. It changes nothing, I know, but support and understanding help.

Hi @Maggie @CheerBear @Bunniekins 💜
I see you had a campfire going nice and early this morning, and the billy boiling. 👍☕🔥 Nice one.
I have a few medical apts coming up Maggie, which I"m pretty anxious about. Dentist today, Doctor tomorrow and Psych next week.

Re: Taking the plunge
@Emelia8 That’s a lot. I hope the dentist today is ok. Never a nice visit, but sometimes, relief. Somewhere I need to go, but putting it off.
Is your Dr supportive ?
Psych next week. I know you have a tricky anniversary soon, hopefully, the appointment helps, at least to be able to talk face to face with someone who cares.
Yes, a billy tea today. I’m pretty sure you might enjoy that.☕️💕💕🐶🐶

Re: Taking the plunge
Yes @Maggie , my GP is pretty supportive. But I need to see him about a few issues this time ... including MHCP, and a check up on my worsening joint issues and RA. So its not a telehealth call, its a visit. Which means temperature checks, questionaires, etc, etc. Yes another big anniversary coming up next week. The third of three very sad anniversary dates over the past 6 weeks or so. Dentist is an early appointment this morning, need to get going shortly. I have had a cracked back tooth for several years, and its been playing up more lately ... so I think I may have to get something done with it. Yes ... you summised correctly ... I do enjoy a good billy tea. Out in the bush over a good campfire and the smell of gum and wood smoke. Better get moving with hubbys morning meds and breakfast.
Quick hello to @NatureLover this moring as well ... hope you are doing okay. 💕
Emelia 🌸
