I thought I would start a new discussion/thread for us to check in, and especially when needing extra support. I hope this helps 😃

Re: Checking In
Hi @oceangirl hope today is better for you. I'm glad to hear you will be seeing your surgeon today. Hopefully they can make recommendations that help you. I don't know what sort of surgery you had, but any surgery is serious stuff. Don't worry about supporting others when you are dealing with so much yourself - it's swings and roundabouts here on the forums - sometimes we need the support and other times we are able to offer it to others - no pressure. It's good to see you have support here.

Re: Checking In
Hi @oceangirl and a shout-out to all these wonderful members who've been supporting you through this rough time. (@outlander @Appleblossom @eth @Shaz51)
I'm sending warm thoughts your way, along with loads of sunshine to brighten your day. OMG! That rhymed! 😆 A roll in the hay and lobster on a tray. Do you hear what I say? Bah ha ha ha har!!! 🤣 What would you do without humourous ding-dongs like me, eh?🤡
I agree that life's up's and down's are a part of our humanness, otherwise we'd all be stuck in one level of emotion instead of experiencing all the colours that life has to offer and learn very little about ourselves and the world around us.
"The Byrds" said it better than most...
To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to ###, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together...
To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing...
To everything turn, turn, turn
There is a season turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose, under heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late...
🕊

Re: Checking In
Thank you @oceangirl
One of the problems of being a woman today can be feeling responsible for living in a constant state of home beautiful.
Its unrealistic and does my head in ... and sometimes I get very teenagery and refuse, and then yoyo back to being good mum teacher blah blah blah ... Just doing dishes today and fixing meal for me, as son gone out for a couple of nights.
That was a lovely post @Hope4me
I had my ndis planning meeting today. I was not well before it, but rallied. I think it was a good outcome, so I feel relieved, but needing to be quiet and low key for a few days.

I'm a bit tired tonight guys. Do you mind if I get back to you tomorrow- I have to get up early in the morning. I have work being done at my house in the morning and I have to do a few things tonight to get organized for tomorrow. Thinking of you all @Hope4me @Shaz51 @Appleblossom @eth @outlander @Snowie @Queenie

Re: Checking In
Hi @oceangirl,
That sounds frustrating. I'm unsure of the reason for this so I'll have to pass it on to our Community Managers. They work during business hours and will get back to you as soon as they can.
Take care,
Tortoiseshell

Look after you. Dont worry. Early nights are a great idea, says me, checking in late 1.30am.
The tagging @TAB thing sometimes does not work for me eith. its that having only 3 letters in name ... the system prefers 4 letters ... this time it worked. Hi Puddy tat.
@outlander Did you ask me somewhere about my cat, sitting on elbow, he is a domestic long hair ...
Hugs Bellas ... just the girls ... lol

Re: Checking In
Hi @Appleblossom ..12 letters .. just woke herelike to sleep with fan on but its too close so when blankets come off half of me freezes, well guess could get another pedestal fan and put it on further away, tv seems to be turning itself on lately too now, see a light under door and go back to sleep when eventually get up wondering, its the tv, perhaps it turned a timer on? or ghosts here? hmm
