Living with Ourselves

Hugs @TAB , @Sophia1 , @Zoe7 , @Appleblossom , @Clawde ❤❤❤

Hey @Shaz51

Hello @TAB

Time to think about next move does that mean changing where you live?

Hope that you can settle somewhere safe.

Yes I wish @Clawde felt safe enough to come back as well.

I know that there are many people missing her.

Hello @Shaz51 @Zoe7 @Appleblossom

feeling weary today. Should go out walking but isolating again. Not sleeping well and cold does not help.

I hope that you are all managing.

Sophia

Hello @TAB , @Zoe7 , @Appleblossom

Missing you @Clawde xx

Didn't have a good night @Sophia1 but have gotten out into the garden, fresh air and sun for a while this afternoon. So tired now so I am going to do a little cleaning up, have a nice long shower and settle in for the night.

That weariness you are feeling is something I can relate to at present. It has also been very cold here in Tassie so pretty much staying in myself. Cat's corner will have to wait but I still sit next to where she is and talk to her.

Oh @Zoe7

Yes I hear what you are saying.

The cold goes through my bones and I have had a virus which they tested for respiratory and or covid. Negative thankfully.

Sitting out there with Cat and just talking to her can bring comfort.

I am not going outside today so I talk to my two in the back garden from inside.

Did I tell you that I dropped my late dog's urn (passed away nearly 20 years ago) It was a small black ceramic urn. The lid cracked open and ashes fell on the floor.

Well instead of crying; I laughed. Possibly hysteria; state of mind. I was reminded of a british comedy where a group of people travel to spread a loved one's ashes on top of a hill. Of course the urn is dropped and ashes fall out; along with an ashtray; during a drinking celebration at the hotel en route and is filled with the combination of "ashes" scraped off of the floor.

My girl always made me happy so I think that she helped me with that. The urn is still waiting for the garden to be completed then will be placed somewhere. I have no set designs. Mine will not be anywhere near as elaborate as yours. Mine is more rustic; rambling style. I will add more seedlings in the warmer weather. I will be able to do small gardening tasks then.

So in a long winded way; enjoy your chats along the way. Cat will be more than happy just to have you with her in mind.

I also have managed to have visits from two magpies who come and wardle outside my front door. I have chatted outside to them when they appear. I also talk back to a crow in crow language. The kookaburras I talk to as well. I shout at the destructive corellas.

Take care

Sophia 💜

Hi @Sophia1 yeah a place like this isn't ideal for longer term. Especially if you're a bit worn down well or worn down by being here lol.
um yeah so I saw this as a transition stage , somewhere to be while getting a few things sorted.

I think that I understand @TAB

I hope that you can find somewhere more permanent though very soon.

Not easy I realise.

Time to get up and move.

Oh @Sophia1 So sorry you about your dog's urn but we have to laugh about these things sometimes. I think I would have cried myself. I have Toby and Clover both join me when I am talking to Cat so the whole family is often together. It is comforting and often makes me cry with a sense of happiness despite the sadness of not still having Cat with me.

We have Wattle birds that often visit and to my surprise both fur babies leave them alone. Clover does sit and watch them but that is all.
