Night Shift

Morning @Kurra 😊

Cant see my D3 getting to school at any reasonable hour .... so I'm going to get up and go for a long walk, looking for dolphins, and burn all the frustration-born adrenaline that would otherwise be burning me up ❣

Good luck to with the birch broom and the floor broom .... 😏🌷

that is good news that your g/niece is getting better @artee

Hello @Mazarita, @Faith-and-Hope, @Kurra, @Pinkeye, @Jacques, @PeppiPatty, @Appleblossom'

Besides, I think I have given you enough info for you to work it out.

Hi @Pinkeye and @Appleblossom, can I just ask you to be mindful of the anonymity of the Forums. We want to encourage an anonymous space where members can benefit from open discussion in a way that's not always possible face-to-face or without the protection of anonymity. For this reason, we would prefer that you don't share potentially identifying information.

@Faith-and-Hope Thanks for your words of encouragement. That is what I hope and plan to do. I already know there is a gardening group and a fishing club. Hubby will be encouraged to join the fishing club. The neighbour has already said he wants to take him out fishing - we don't have a house, but two of our near neighbours have already introduced themselves, had us over for coffe and told us lots about the local community - none of which we know. We're moving to an area we are not familiar with (again). I have no fears about that, or of making new friends.

Your hubby sounds very much like a handful too. The denial is difficult to deal with and the manipulation and i think its great you have ways to manage him.

@artee .... mostly .... grrrr ! ..... difficult day with him today ....

Its like you said, sometimes I look at him and think there is nothing at all left of the man I knew and loved .... and then I reach out to support services and they tell me to remember that he's still in there somewhere .... just lost within himself ....

So thankful to have other things and people to concentrate on ❣

D1 and I went out today organising more wedding stuff .... ✅

D3 came home from school a little more human than she was this morning .... ✅

S2 is starting to be a bit less intimidated by his upcoming 21st .... ✅

and I walked 4km this morning .... ✅

and WH has p*ss*d off on his afternoon jog .... ✅ .... so I have time to be on here with you without having my time micro-managed for me ....

I wouldn't mind pining the fishing club ..... just sayin' ..... 😏

oh dear @Faith-and-Hope sounds so very difficult! im glad you have time to be here though and that you can see the positive things that have been part of you day!

big hugs

@Faith-and-Hope my new neighbour is excited that I'm another female fisher-person, though I haven't gone out for such a long time. She and I have already planned an outing. We just don't know dates yet! We have a wonderful area for fishing. Without giving away geographical area, we have river and sea, in Qld. And it being Qld, they're tidal rivers and lots of mud crabs too! Pity I can't eat any (anaphalyctic).

Woohoo on a few moments without micromanagement.

I spend a few hours out without hubby today. A real rarity, being alllowed out without him, catching up with an old friend, while we are still near Brisbane. We're housesitting, finishing Saturday, then off to pay the council an enormous amount of money in bond before they'll pass the plans. Money is very tight on this project and its stressing. Hubby has discalculia, so he doesn't understand or care (he can't understand numbers). Tomorrow I spend a whole night alone as hubby's going to go childminding. We're not sure he can really manage, but we got caught. The people aren't back from their trip at the housesit and we can't leave their chickens or our cat alone. Hubby's friends are going away for a night to an adult function and can't take their kid. He's eleven, so all should be ok. He's also more energetic than any child I've ever met. Maybe it will make hubby too tired to be argumentative. Then it's back to the cramped conditions of the caravan and free camping, if we can find anywhere that's not overflowing with Victorians escaping their winter.

Thanks @Former-Member 💕

sending you hugs @Faith-and-Hope
