For a while I have tried to find a thread I had started when I joined the forum that could be a "home" thread for me.
Being busy about the forum has been a coping style, where I can acknowledge all my different life experiences that had been silenced. Possibly do some good and prevent things from getting worse. Like the little boy with the finger in the dyke.
Feeling fragile

Your op is a big hurdle @outlander.
Its a great idea to keep list and ticks of all the things you achieved visible.
Might help not let all the things to do ... overwhelm ...
Weather is crazy in lots of places.
Being in the country you probably need to notice it more than me.

Wind is very unsettling for good reasons, but I hope things are fine around your property.
Just had zoo days. Tmrw quiet at home and in garden and Sunday a big concert ... cant say where.
Can honestly say I am looking forward to my weekend.

It was mainly pleasant. Thanks @outlander
Gardening yesterday and singing today.
Musically it was good but not amazing, made me thoughtful about the specific group.
Socially there were a few lovely moments with people, who I know a little. There was a little bad behaviour from one person but I took it in my stride. Home was good.

Just have to learn not to worry or obssess about it or kowtow to it. Had a couple of really lovely chats and sat next to lovely ladies. Maybe its me learning to choose instead of coming from an airy fairy non judgmental goody goody approach that often does me in.

Isn't the natural wonderful @Maggie
Thanks for thinking of me.
I know you are going through a lot with uncertainty and difficulty about your home.
Feel free to talk more about things if it helps to get it off your chest.
