Sleeping too much

Hey @utopia, @Former-Member

yeah I did bounce back a bit. Tomorrow I'm going to ikea with S2s girlfriend so it will be good for us both to get out the house. She is doing really well without him although I know she's missing him. He's half way through his study tour in America. I hope you both have a good night. Glad to hear things aren't too bad @Former-Member. I was a bit worried as youve had a rocky day. Tomorrow's a new day for us all💜😊

@utopiaYeah it's more than a bit dangerous for me to go to ikea, the impulsive spending side. I've just paid all my bills now so I can't get caught out. Now there a chance this is my forever home I'll get hooked up in wanting things. I'm a bit crazy but don't mind assembling it. We are going to try for a cheap meal out too, about the only place I can afford to eat out👍😊💜. It's kind of weird going out with who will probably be my daughter in law one day, I'm feeling old. When she talks about wanting kids I start shaking knowing I may not be that far off being a grandma ooohhhh it's scary. You too will do this one day but youre safe now. I did the maths and I had one of my kids at the same age you had yours but I'm not telling you which one yet😝😆

Oh cripes yes @Former-Member

I have passed that stage of my life - and yes - having spinal pain is socially more acceptable - so I can pull that card - I don't like having people mill around near me - I have been knocked over and I have to have the paramedics come to set me on my feet again

And people have no answer to that one - thank God for small mercies

But I feel enraged for your sake for the totally useless crap this person poured on your aching head - {my head would be aching after that little conversation) - going to church groups is not family - it takes energy - we have to "fit in" and I am not that kind of person - true - I will behave in a certain away to have the content in a situation -

Yet this so-called friend has the cheek to say to you to get out more - GO OUT MORE!!!!!! while rattling on about family

If family is thin on the ground that is worse than "salt in the wound" - it's like grabbing salt and rubbing it in with both hards - that was such a cruel way to carry on

You did good @Former-Member - saying you might as well be dead in comparison - I love that - I must put it into my list of slick answers -

I never see my bro - ah well - our parents died and so he turned up at those events - but after putting up with all the family stuff around me while I felt flayed after my mother's funeral - I snarled at my bro - I do not speak like that to anyone - except him obviously - and my family drove away and I went inside my house and passed out on the floor -

So I guess that's what happens when we are emotionally overloaded

Yes - we feel bad - and one thing I noticed before we had pension relief and I was making trips to the CAB for food vouchers - saying I felt like a beggar - and people including family - would rave on about their holidays - did they ever - with me wanting to go away and not having the money this was my nemesis -

When there is something we just cannot have - and there will always be something like that - having other people trying to convince us that this or that will replace what is lost to us - and pickpickpick at our situation - Get out more - get your nose to the grindstone - get your fingers into some pies - hey - look at life, think positive -

Your so-called friend is so lucky you warned her that you had to end the conversation - I would have just hung up

You did good @Former-Member

This is me patting you on the back
