Niquas Notes

Niquas Notes

I thought I might try some 'journalling' . Just write a little blurb out each day, basically what I'm already doing . . . just giving it a name . . a title, I suppose? But to give it some 'umph' in my head I'm going to try & remember how to start a new thread & call it 'Niquas Notes' 🙂
It's not even 11.30am & I'm having a tomatoe & onion sandwich for lunch 🙂 I think I've been forgetting to 'get around' to a few meals lately. It's pretty good 🙂
I think I need to go into town today & check the post office, I may have a parcel to collect (evil ebay again!). I might get some meat while I'm in there (probably sausages ;)), I don't think I've had a lot of it lately - though I had Tuna in some fried rice the other night 🙂 Pretty sure I've got a couple of DVDs to collect from the library too 😉 {which means waiting until after 2pm at least as they close from 1-2pm for lunch} Today being Wednesday, it's an off-lead walk day, so I'll take the puppies along & drop into the local Forest on the way back home 🙂 I really enjoy that walk myself, it might be one I've done a million times, but that's sort of part of what I think I really enjoy about it?;)? & of the camp trips, beach walks & places that I have been going to for a little while now - the local 'home' forest walk still gives us the most freedom & me the most confidence 🙂
I think I am recovering from the xmas kerfuffle. I've just polished off a banana, which I would normally have at breakfast, so I've just combined morning & midday meals 😉 & I've got a bottle of water with just a touch of Apple Cider vinegar in it :x I actually quiet like the tang & I do beleive my insides appreciate it 🙂 I've been having quite a few nasty waves of nausea washing over me for a while now.
I need to start 'beating myself up a bit' about the housework! I did get some dishes done before I went away, but there's still a mountain of pots and pans there!! & my mountains of dirty washing are growing death defying peaks!!! I did also get 1/2 the yard mowed, but the other half is overgrown & the 1st 1/2 could do with a trim (00)! & the general clutter continues to compact.
I must look online at what the costs of registering my puppies will be in my council, maybe I can do that while I'm in town? If I got the genny going & started tackling the dirty washing, I could mow my little fella's feet inbetween cycles . . . & then we could go to a favourite 'look-out' spot for a walk 😛 . . . that'd be nice 🙂
Well, by the time I get online, it'll be past Potatoe hour. So I'd better stop blurbing & post 😉
Love to all that need or want it, everything positive gratefully accepted 🙂
❤️

Re: Niquas Notes

Hi and good morning @Former-Member. Thanks for the tag here that I missed yesterday. I feel for you with what you are going through with your adult child and finances.

My adult child is nearly 30, partner works full time and they get the blind pension (not asset tested and more than the pension I get). I only stopped supplementing them regularly about a year ago. It took me a long time to realise that they almost never used the money for the purpose it was given, e.g. putting money towards their power bill that was then used to buy a new computer game. It wasn't fair for them to keep asking me for more when they earn more than I do. It does seem we don't communicate as much since then but if it was only to get money then what does that mean I as a person am worth to them? Another family member said that by continuing to give $$ to them I was enabling them to not stand up and adult.

So ... different situation in part but I really feel for you and your situation. Hopefully some of the suggestions you are getting here will help you.

Hello Mazy @Mazarita

Re: Niquas Notes

I was drawn to these invisible intoxications that no one else seemed to see.
But maybe thats just it, Maybe we all have to hurt enough to really break down the barricades surrounding ourselves that stops us from feeling all that is beneath the charade.
And when you do thats when you really see it, for the first time, the world.
All the fragments of beauty will be waiting, and oh how lovely that will be.

Not my words, but I think they contain a slither of my soul.
