What subjects are you teaching tomorrow?

In response to: rough time

Re: rough time

Im glad your going ok @Sans911

Some people even though we like to be around them can still be quite draining too. So it is like that double edged sword.
How did your meeting (?) Go today?

Re: rough time

That does make it difficult @Sans911 - you feel for your friend but also know your limits there and that is a good thing. Sometimes we try to take on too much and forget about ourselves so whilst you are still providing support to your friend you are also putting up boundaries so you are not worn out from your interactions.

Science tomorrow @outlander I think it is all organised - just need to alter the lesson plan a little and send it off - but I will do that in the morning. What do you have planned for tomorrow ...and you too @Sans911

Re: rough time

Sounds like a plan. @Zoe7
Ive got 2 appointments tomorrow and if i can manage it id like to finish cleaning the back verandah that i started a few days ago but didnt finish.
My fingers are crossed i may hear back from the mechanic this week as well

Re: rough time

I thought nobody turned up at the meeting, except one other lady who was at the other end of the cafe, around the corner. At the time I was there, only two tables were available. So I didn't get up to look around and obviously neither did she! Never mind.

@outlander @Zoe7
I'm helping out at the op shop in the afternoon for a few hours. Something that I don't want to become a habit, but they were in dire straits. Then I'm going to to check out a rental. I'm trying to scale back everything this coming week to give me energy for a busier week to follow.

Re: rough time

I have my car booked in for Tuesday - has been nearly 3 years since my last service @outlander I hope you hear back from the mechanic soon. I will check out my garage in the morning to see what damage there is from todays downpour but won't be able to do anything until I get home (if it actually stops raining).

It will be good to get the back verandah cleaned up - I always feel better when things are where they should be and packed away - hope you get that same feeling.

Re: rough time

That makes sense @Sans911 This is a very busy week for me but it also means more money for me than I have been getting - and I definitely need it. My income protection finished some time ago and I have been living off that and the little I have got for work. Next pay should be better but still tough to get through christmas.

I think it is great you are volunteering at the op shop - it shows you can do a working day as well and that is a good thing.

Re: rough time

Oops... @Sans911 nevermind

I hope the time at the op shop goes ok and the rental you look at is better than the ones youve looked at already.
What days are you suppose to be at the op shop?

@Zoe7 my cars been off the road for 2 months now due to lies from the car dealership. Its taking forever to find a part for it 😣😣 thankfully there hasnt been to many disputes between me and pop for sharing his car during that time and by the looks of it not till after chrissy unless i hear back this week.
I do get those good feelings when ive sorted the house out. I had a heap of motivation then just kinda flopped midway so will have to pick it up again so its in better shape again.

In response to: Re: rough time

Re: rough time

I hope you get it all sorted soon @outlander That really sucks about what has happened with your car. It is good that you have been able to borrow your pop's car though - although I suspect that that has it's own problems.
