Night Shift

Hello @Appleblossom,

yesterday and today I only planned three small jobs today which was good for me and my hubby to relax a little , will have to do more of it , thank you for your support @Appleblossom

All settled now!!! Thankfully, been such a long day, I just feel like I need to cry but there's nothing there.

How are you doing @Appleblossom ?

Hi @Former-Member,

Gsh i wish you could have a good cry, it does help release the built up emotions, is their anything you can do to get your breath, maybe step outside for a minute and take some deep breaths of fresh air, maybe scream into a pillow, or pat the fur babies?

I am so glad the children are settled, i hope you manage some you time tonight.

You are such a sweet woman @Former-Member, i would like some company, i am really worried about Karen, but i don't know what else i can do to get in touch with her.

I am ok, just starting to worry about my aunt comming back, i don't know how i am going to manage, i suppose i will have to. it is a shame i have no where to find peace. that is all i want in life now.

Maybe when the time is right for you .. you will have a good cry. @Former-Member

Sometimes I am all dried up too ... and I am also relieved about that as its harder to hide distress from the kids when my eyes are puffed up etc ...

Its a bit like the let down with milk .. sorry @Jacques .. for being a bit girly.

We are all worried about Karen. I am glad you pop on this thread to chat too.

Do you have any favourite places that you like to go in the bush. For when you need space. Look around.

I am ok ... son just came in wanting to have a sing ...

take care

Hi @Jacques sorry you are in such a tough situation at the moment. Hopefully your aunt will have reflected a bit on how difficult things were and be less.... Difficult? One can hope anyway. I do hope that Karen can contact you soon, perhaps she is in hospital?

i am enjoying the quiet tonight! I accidentally left my laptop at work so not working tonight!

@Jacques

Maybe you could make a nook or an alcove somewhere you could sit with a book .. out of sight .. gives one a sense of privacy.

2 old sisters together could be very difficult and hard not to get drawn into their issues.

Is your aunt deliberately argumentative or is she not aware of the effect she has? Will she leave you alone if you ask?

@Former-Member it is great to see you even without laptop ... one day I will get on top of the whole mobile thing.

Hope kids stay settled and you get a decent night's sleep.

Hi all....

Yes @Appleblossom... We did go out that day - was it Easter Sunday? I've been extremely exhausted this week & have spent quite a lot of time in bed! I think the injury knocked me around & I had to take half a doozen or so doses of anti infalmmatories. Hopefully I get to yoga tomorrow - although I am up late tonight due to anxiety....

It seems like people are gaining information from other threads, so sorry that I don't know what is going on exactly. I acctually find this site difficult to navigate & stick to the same threads usually.

Partner is ready for bed, so I better go & get some beauty sleep too!

Sending hugs to all...

Namaste,

A

Hi @Jacques, @Former-Member, @Appleblossom, @Former-Member, @Shaz51 and everyone,

Just stopping in for a visit this night and sending good wishes to all.

@Jacques, sounds like you are going through an especially hard time at the moment. I like @Appleblossom's suggestion of finding private nooks and spaces where you can be at peace with your own company. It's not as good as having the space to yourself but might help you keep anxiety levels lower. I hope you hear from Karen very soon. Sending hugs.
