Night Shift

Pretty sure you don't have 2 heads @Former-Member. But you have crazy dreams😜 Only joking. My iPad died on me unexpectedly. I hope your day is ok. I'm about to head out shopping for some paint and stuff I need. Really should look at getting toilet seat mark 2 as well, possible an idea to get one that fits this time 😂 How things going for you. Saw you fixed your door, good job on that. 😊💜

😊 Yeah .... ok .... das me ...... ❣

I started my family with three kids under two years old .... twins born close behind a single .... one twin with special needs landing in open-heart surgery at 7 months ..... husband a workaholic .... MIL passive-aggressive witch (at the time - has recovered herself since - mostly) ..... and other in-laws firmly on-side with the matriarchal order of things .....

So .... with sometimes help from my dearly departed Mum ..... I took on a super-mum role which was actually barely coping a lot of the time ..... but I did develop a lot of coping skills .... and one of them is my "self-clean menu" ...... goes like this .....

1. (ideal) A leisurely soak in a giant tub, preferably with spa jets and bubbles.

2. A dip and a splash in any sort of tub, bubbles optional, soap not !

3. A long hot shower with a nice smelling shower gel of some kind ....

4. A ten-second soap up and rinse off, preferably hot water .... tepid will do ....

5. A sponge bath out of a sink somewhere, with a bar of soap in the equation.

6. Wet wipes, borrowed from the baby, or bought purposely for this reason.

7. Deodorant - your basic "shower in a can" - wears off quickly though ....

Love it @Faith-and-Hope.

hey @comet how are you. I've fessed up. Your turn😊💜

PS totally crappiest day ever to absolutely awesome are answers as is everything in between. Also would be good to have an idea of how many and what type of hugs you require. 💜

PPS. Must be feeling a bit better, I'm getting bossy. Just actually survived a phone call from mental health team and didn't crash and feel better for it - these here are crazy times😊💜

Hi @BlueBay

Honey,

I dont know how to knit but know how to crochet.......

So happy for you that your getting into art.......creativity is I thinnk the only way to go to fix your mind........

With all my so called brave talk, I was still manipulated by Mum to see her on Sunday and it was awful.

Fly the champagne corks. I'm showered. Ten days it was I think (lost count). Now to watch Star Trek Voyager while admiring my own perfume. Who's next? Virtual hugs still around for anyone who doesn't, but extra smiles for those who do! The challenge is on!

Hey @comet,

im so glad you replied. Absolutely fabulous about PHaMs. I really hope the one you get is nice💜. I'm sure they will be😊. Let us know how it goes. My dog bought my phams workers balls to throw the whole time they were here. Comet will be a talking point too, it does help to have a crazy animal sometimes.

Thats great news about the psychiatrist too, although end of September is a way away. Crossing fingers they'll suit you.

Music. Well the song I've fallen for is called "The diving bell" by gang of youths and I like their new release too "strange diseases". Bit of a Paul Dempsey fan and like "idiotic oracle" and a song by Robbie Miller called "road". There was a few others but these were my faves for now.

After your summary I'm sending hopeful hugs for tomorrow and regular hugs for now. Take care😊💜
