Not really @CheerBear. Not much craft in my fingers. I have a vivid imagination & lots of ideas but that's as far as it goes.

Re: rough time
Yes indeed it was @Sans911
I dont mind saying no to yet another bbq esp when my teeth arent playing nice. I said id see what happens but im abit over bbqs so i dont think ill be going.
Packing can be hard work esp when having to downsize isnt it.
And your book that we're making is definetly classed as craft.

Re: rough time
@outlander I tiny bit of light today for me. I don't mind how small it is, and make the most of what light there is while it lasts.
Youve been having a hard time lately. I haven't caught up as reading is still difficult, your avatar said it all. Remember always how many value you here and elsewhere. You are a lovely young lady. 💕💜💗💜💕💜

Re: rough time
Evening lil Sis @outlander
My pyschogist appt was alright today. We just talked about my week away, and a little about today/tommorow's anniversary.
She said that I'm looking better, not so distant & more clear eyed. And engaging a bit more. She thinks the move is a big plus, but acknowledges that I have some stressful, tough weeks to get through financially & the physical & mental impact of moving house.
I did some more packing, but I get hot so quickly these days, and then uncomfortable, so just tackling things a little at a time.
How are you doing tonight?

Re: rough time
sounds like a good session @Sans911 and its good that you have some improvements too. Have you got ideas on how you will cope tomorrow? Ill be around if you need as well.
Well done on getting some more packing done, every little bit helps. Does downsizing mean you need to get rid of some of your books too?
My anxiety is through the roof but itll go eventually.

Re: rough time
My support worker is coming in the morning about 9. She comes for two hours. She is making & bringing me cheesecake (one of my fav desserts) to celebrate getting through this year.
I know I should be grateful & happy to be alive, but I don't feel that yet. I'm still very much surviving, and even though times are easier, I wish I didn't have to go through this mental illness or reach the point of trying to take my life.
Anyway, even talking about this makes me anxious, so I'm going to stop.
I have a volunteer group in the afternoon, a coffee meet, so that will be something else to do.
Just generally distracting myself.
Get rid of my books? NEVER. Hmm, might have to ditch a few but I really want all the bookcases to come with me. I think I can make it happen. I'll just have to see. I may end up taking the bookcase but repurpose it for a display unit or something.
I have a good idea how I will set up the unit, it's just a matter of whether it's workable or not.

Re: rough time
can i ask what your volunteer group/which one the met up is associated with is tomorrow?
i had a feeling i mightve got that response in regards to your books! maybe just get rid of the doubles or something. Its great that youve got an idea on how youd like to set up your new place, hopefully its workable for you.
How is Jasper and Mr A going? are they still having their nightly run arounds?
