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

I'm feeling really sad, not angry, sad. I know I'm on a roller-coaster that's attached to a yo-yo & I'm really not enjoying it. It's taken me 3-4 months to get the anger out, I wonder how long it will be before I can smile? This is not a pleasant life, definitely not a good one. I know my daughter deals with everything using the silent treatment, I've still heard nothing from my grandchildren, I guess they've learnt from their mother. I wonder if that's what I did to their mother? I thought I was getting better yesterday, but maybe that was just as my mind switched. I went into town today to get something to eat, I'd run out of bread, butter, eggs, cereal. There were easter things everywhere. I didn't send a parcel to the kids. I don't want to, if they don't want me. I feel so lonely, so very alone. I'm so tired of the heat. I'm so tired of my life.

Re: Niquas Notes

Hi @Former-Member, so sorry to hear you so down. I love you, for what that's worth across an internet line. We have been special friends pretty much since you arrived here and I have valued that so much. I admire you as a woman of strength and intelligence and incredible resourcefulness.

How are the dogs? And Cat? I wish I was their friend too.

You seem to be going through stages of grief. I went through a terrible time, grieving the loss of my parents, when I stopped seeing them for a long while. I can't imagine what I put them through. Well, I can. A shame in me with it. It wasn't a pleasant life. Mainly I hope you can be kind with yourself through it.

Re: Niquas Notes

Happy birthday my youngest grandboy. I don't think I'm going to get to see you grow up. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but the fact is, your mother had too many children. I didn't cope with just her, 5 grandbabies is too much for me, I love you all though. Don't be a violent person, I know you only hit & throw things at people to get their attention, if the only attention you can get is negitive - that's what you'll take.

Happy Easter to my family, all of them including my sisters - the only members of my original family still alive.

Love to all

Re: Niquas Notes

Good Morning Mazy Claire and everyone

I think there could be a drawback to knowing yourself a little. Having an idea how bad it will feel for how long. How much you will put yourself through. How much of it is so totally out of your own control. I'm waking up much earlier than usual, I can recognize that as a sign the processes of my brain are out of wack - but I can't do anything about it. I thought by rejecting all people I was protecting myself, but I never even allowed myself to imagine that my own child would be one that I had to protect myself from. I guess some people do need to be alone, but I believe it is so unnatural for a human being that they can not survive it. I needed my child for a connection, but every moment they choose to not communicate, to not acknowledge, is more proof they were never there for me.
