Night Shift

You sound like my son with being pretty relaxed about travel plans @TAB. He messaged me from Romania this week to say he had less than $100 left to get back to Prague and that the train cost about $100 to get from Bucharest to Budapest to Prague. He is waiting for his loan to come through but will have accomodation etc in Prague until that happens. But he is so casual about everything. There's a chance he'll get pulled up on his visa too as he was on a student visa which ran out a month ago but he is confident his travel visa would still cover him, but to cover his backside he is travelling by train to get back to Prague 😁

@Decadian Yes, pregnancy was very difficult. I was unwell at the time. Didn't realize at the time that I had bugs, chronic fatigue (from glandular fever), most illnesses from working in child care and on top of it all the usual ptsd, anxiety, depression and so on. But because I was getting a bit too old, hehe! I couldn't leave getting pregnant any later. Being older as well didn't help, but it was worth it. I had wanted a child (girl) for many years. I had morning, day and night sickness, not morning sickness. Is there such a thing as morning sickness?? The birth was extremely traumatic for both myself and my daughter, ending up in an emergeny ceserean. I spent years crying and feeling absolutely exhausted and gulity for not being a good mother, due to exhaustion. But that's in the past and I can't change it, I can only try and make the future better. My daughter has turned out well, healthy etc, so that's good.

The hardest part was, I asked around everywhere I could think of and no one could help me. I even found a Beyond Blue phone number and the closest support group was over an hours drive away. I was in no state to drive anywhere, except to the shops. It was an awful time, but I can only be grateful that my daughter is ok. Doing well at school etc. Took me years to get over the birth. End result is good.

Sorry you had to go to court, must have been difficult for you.

The day after I saw this guy on TV I went to the police station and spent hours there giving my statement. But, thankfully, the CIB guy said that I don't need to go to court, because he wont get out of jail. He was trying to appeal, but the police assured me that he wouldn't get out.

I can imagaine that divorce is very difficult to go through. You've had alot to deal with in life.

@Former-Member Dinner out as well, sounds like a nice evening for you.

Oh @Faith-and-Hope Your daughter is so close to graduating. I can see why you want her to finish, she's so close. Does she know what she wants to do after finishing? Not easy knowing at her age, still so young.

Much happen in Kalgoorlie today @TAB

...no o o ..you're not my mum lol @Former-Member have money, not on last $100 etc, and can be a stress head, but sometimes just have to throw hands up in air, smile, well numb maybe.. and follow the plan.. which ok was pretty loose..

I had chance to go to Prague for the wknd 16yrs ago when in Berlin, chose to hang out at tiny inner city pubs and stroll around on own.. inbetween getting effed around by centrelink and new card starting to look like lost in mail, then bumping into people from old work last time here, then ex lovers, ex housemates etc, yeah, want to get basics sorted before move, am in semi comfortable self medicated lala land, s..still ,, head is in a way better place than few weeks ago. Will be on nullabor soon ..and.. loving it lol

..ok .. sounds like a 'Face Off' @Decadian 2x 280g pkts chips.. your choice re flavour, brand, well for you.. and we'll just sit there and eat .. til they're finished .. lol

I just meant as relaxed @TAB 😊 Im definately not looking to claim mum status with anyone else I can assure you, 4 is enough 😜 I'm a stress monger with stuff like that. My son is 21 and a student so broke but having the time of his life. And you have away more maturity than my son to stay put until things are sorted. He can stay still long enough to sort anything out, thus he has no money. Sounds like your time there hasn't been boring @TAB, with all your chance meetings. I hope it sorts out soon 💜😊

I love the idea @TAB

But I think I had better give this one a miss - tonight anyway - my packet is nearly empty and it's 175

I am obviously not in your class in the chip-eating championships - was that in one of Stephen King's books

No - that was cherry pies - I think

I could always pretend - but no - but chocolate covered caramels - not that's a different story

Re kal, went to old 'mates' place, then to nice pub other end of town, was interesting, and good, shlda wlda, clda .. but was smiling and got home safe and happy oh and early lol
