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

@Former-Membercan you find somewhere to calm down for a while then reassess the situation? it seems your really overwhelmed atm so that might be a good place to start.

take a few deep breaths to start with.

i dont have kids so im not really that great in this area. however if your concerned id try to talk to them even if its one topic at a time or see about sitting down with your child with a list of your concerns. you have quite a few big ones that youve pointed out.

maybe some others will have some more suggestions

Re: Niquas Notes

I sent a text about 2 1/2 hours ago & have had nothing back. Is my child just making me suffer, or are they not ok. I sent

I want you to know I love you. I'm very worried about you. I'm sorry I yelled and swore. I'm sorry it all came out the way it did, but the concern I have is very real. Are you ok? I don't want to talk right now, I can't control my emotions. Please send a text, even empty, so I know you & the kids are safe.

@Former-Memberdeep breaths...

do you want to talk about something else as a distraction?

Re: Niquas Notes

Hi @Former-Member, that sounds so distressing waiting for your child to reply and worrying that they are not safe, I am sending you an email to check in.

Re: Niquas Notes

I sent a text earlier this evening. I said 'If I don't receive a text from you tonight, I will go into the police in the morning. I love you.'. I received a text not long after saying 'I'm fine, very upset, but fine'.

I'm sorry for over-reacting. I still don't seem to be able to get out of this . . . . episode, I don't know what you call it. I haven't been right since xmas.

Thank you everyone, I really felt so alone, you all helped a great deal.

Re: Niquas Notes

You were overwhelmed and worried @Former-Member it's understandable how anxious you were
Im glad they wrote back even briefly. Maybe your relationship will start to repair itself over time too......

Re: Niquas Notes

Hugs @Former-Member ..... 💜

I am glad that your child responded, but disappointed that it took the mention of police enquiry into their welfare to elicit a response.

I see the integrity in what you are doing and how you have responded, and I hope they learn from it and grow a stronger respect and return-nurturing response of their own by degrees ...... I say “by degrees” because it appears unlikely that it will happen overnight.
