I haven't kept up with responding at all this week so hope today is one of the better ones for you all. Have been just following the conversation in several places and can see that some of you are having a hard time.

Looking forward to catching up with you today

.

Anyone is welcome to join in here so please feel free to tag anyone else you know who might be looking for company today.

Thinking a lot about all those being impacted by the fires this week and hoping you are all safe.

Very tired this morning which actually feels kind of nice - better than the early, anxious starts I've been having. Very broken sleep this week - 7 or 8 naps most nights. It's just not refreshing.

Take care all xx

Sunrise breakfast xx

Good Morning @eth Hi @Bimby2 @Shaz51 @Peri @Angels333 havent slept more than couple hrs at a time last 2 nights, dont know why, hope to catch up today. Hot Here, 5am walk 32deg lol, going to shops to get food and papers then lockdown again think lol

Wow @TAB that is a hot start to the day. Good idea to bunker down for the day. Hope you get some more rest. I know exactly how it feels - can't remember the last time I had more than a 3 hour block of sleep, most nights ave 1 1/2 hours at a time.

@Shaz51 hope your mil's party today is fun for you xx

I had been over sleeping til couple days ago, 2 naps a day and sleep all night @eth yes hot here and dont know how much more 'rest' I can take lol , I hardly go out anyway, guess the difference is that sor tof feel trapped by weather., dunno

@TAB I understand the feeling of being trapped by the weather. Do you have and indoor hobbies e.g. art/craft, writing, cooking, reading ... ? I guess the secret is as basic as keeping occupied while time passes - sometimes that's what life comes down to for me too.

I haven't read in ages @eth prob not into the other stuff so much, just tv, computer and newspapers That can be fine. To a point. then realise everyday is the same lol. Maybe I should try and get some work again

If work is what works for you @TAB then probably worth the effort. I haven't been able to work for years. Otherwise maybe time for a new hobby?

Things may change for me before too long (6-12 month possible goal) as I am doing a training day for peer support work this coming Thursday. I've been told I've a chance of being trained to do workshop presentations and forum facilitation by the organisation doing the training. I have a peer mentor from there and she's great. We talk not only in terms of short to medium timeframe goals, but also about actual dreams. If anything was possible. I had forgotten how to even have those kind of dreams and was stumped the first time she asked me. Still find it a challenge to work out what my dreams are, but feeling like a contributing member of society is def part of them. As is being able to travel independently again. Somewhere within me is a gypsy who's been stifled for many years.

yes I struggle re hobbies for some reason @eth as in taking them up

that sounds really good re peer worker, I rarely aspire/dream anymore, too stuck in day to day survival. I have a sort of/warmed over, not acted on career ish change, but think need help with it
