Night Shift

@TAB I've heard that working at the mines is hard work. And heard alot have been retrenched. My friend being one of them. But he managed to get another job at another mine.

Huh? Sugar? Lost me there, lol

.

Hugs from me too @Former-Member ..... 🌷💕

Hi Everyone 😊

I've had a busy day .... a few lost tempers around here too ....😕 .... followed by recovery .... 😏💕 .... getting there ....

WH took off on a plane this morning so we have got a bubble of a bit less to keep me busy on the home-front ....

Hey @Former-Memberj ....

...it feels like this sometimes .... 😆💜

but we're doing okay ❣

Hi @Faith-and-Hope Sounds like, not such a great day. Hope you managed a rest in there somewhere.

Where's hubby off to? If you don't mind me asking.

lost me too Ms.. @Former-Member ok am listening to Neil Young, he has a song called Sugar Mountain? .. not going there, never have been, whatever that might mean. I was doing casual work, ranges from days to weeks to months. so there was always another 'job'..just not what wanted or when wanted.not sure why I ever did it. father thing maybe well he did matric in 1930s when year 10 was a cut above lol, then he spent his entire post war working life as a labourer. Apparently he did well on the stock market tho ..gawd knows ,, had a very on off/up down relationship with him. No one could make me feel as bad as he made me feel over decades, and it was always to do with me and employment, ie quitting jobs

Sad that alot of parents aren't good at encouraging their children, especially in the "old days", @TAB

Sorry you don't get on very well with you dad. You mentioned that you think that he might have PTSD. I think that my father also had PTSD. My father isn't alive anymore, but looking back, he had the symptoms. From being in the war. Terrible nightmares, anxiety etc. He was a sensitive person. Sad that he never knew to seek help for the PTSD. We didn't have great communication with each other, but I always knew that he loved me. I can't think about my father for long, it hurts too much, so I'll have to change the subject now.

I think I'll go and do some pilates to get my mind on something different. I did make it out for a walk. Might get on here later.

.. @Former-Membermy best take on it when I used to bother about it was that my parents didn't know any better. I'm alright with it now. Going there soon wow you must be fit

Resting now @Former-Member ..... 😊

Hubby has set up some work commitments on the east coast (we live west) .... and it gives him a reason to escape to a bubble where he can live in his e.d. regimen more easily than trying to operate it from within a family life .... not that he would ever admit to it in his current state of denial ....

It means that we get those periods as a form of respite too.

@Shaz51 .... thanks for the bad haircut advice .... I cut my fringe too short this week .... 😳:face_with_rolling_eyes:😜

Just saw the cat in the hat pic @Faith-and-Hope💜 Very poignant. Well I hope things relax a bit with WH away. Hoping the weather is ok to get dolphin walks in.

Went for a dolphin walk this morning .... sans dolphins ..... but there were lots of pelican "boats" on the water 😊

I call them boats cos they look like skippers of their own little craft, and when they meet up they form a little convoy .... imagine them wearing little black skipper's caps ....

Didnt get D3 to school till after 1:00pm .... grrrrr !! ... she pulled a muscle in her shoulder rolling over to get up this morning .... hypermobility issue .... and that became her next reason to not be at school for the morning after not going the last three days with severe dysmenorrhea .... read her the riot act ....

I had to manage three babies with no help, work-absent husband, hypermobility issues, (my little monkeys in my very own circus in those days ....) and get through it with everybody's nappy changed and tummies fed .... sore shoulders, back, knees, wrists, head, ankles, whatever .....

She can bl**dy-well get to school if she wants to graduate ..... 😠! .... why haven't they got an emoticon with smoke coming out of its ears ??

So ! I am hoping to have a better day tomorrow .... mind you ... I found a mighty fine piece of carrot cake to keep company with early afternoon .... ✅
