Re: Sleeping too much
Been a bit teary on & off but also little moments of joy, and the glorious weather helps. Actually got most the lawn done today, so that's something. Kind of a full time job just holding it together on the onside really. I know you know what o mean 🙂

Re: Sleeping too much
F&H , your house sounds busy, wow
I was actually wondering if any of US here were going out tonight. I don't remember the last time I went out Sat night. Don't blame you for trying to enjoy the quiet when you have it.

@Former-Member
I slept in and couldn't get going ❎
then I had to pick my son up (1hr drive), was a little late, luckily he was ok about it✅
Food shopped at supermarket ✅
went to farmers market✅
Came home exhausted and slept for a couple of hours 😔
Went to hardware and bought cheap plant and pot✅
Walked dog in park, well he ran and I strolled✅
So was a pretty busy day for my standards😊
Im really sorry that you're having tough patches but I can see how hard you are trying to pull yourself up too. That is so hard to do but you keep doing it. Keep going you are worth it. Sending hugs 💜😊

Re: Sleeping too much
I've been a bit "leaky" the last couple of days too @Former-Member ....
It's a different sort of grief ... have had to do a lot of letting go and I know I am being judged for it by people who can see there is something wrong but don't know what it is .... presuming it to be me .... or WH is saying something wonky behind my back to cover his ...
Dunno, but can't afford to worry about it .... truth reveals itself eventually.
Doesnt mean it doesn't hurt ... and the disappointment is worth "leaking" over sometimes .... that's just a part of being real about it all.
Love how you keep getting up and getting on .... that's what I have to do too .... and I know somewhere on the other side of Oz you're walking it with me ....
Hugz ❣

Re: Sleeping too much
Great list @Former-Member 😊
Here's mine ....
Put on a load of washing .... ✅
Walked to the coffee shop with my Dad ..... ✅
D1 and FSIL blew in and out again .... caught them for coffee at least .... ✅
Walked the bridges ... no dolphins but tonnes of birds on the river this morning .... ✅
Missed a family friend who came past to pick up S2 to buy him a prezzie for his 21st .... he forgot to tell me she was coming this morning ,.... ❎
Helped D1's bridesmaids get some of their plans for her sorted .... ✅
Went to a furniture shop cos WH sent text from over east chasing prices and availability for work stuff he's organising .... needed to happen "right now" .... :face_with_rolling_eyes:✅
Dropped lunch stuff back home .... ✅
Picked up Dad, D2 and D3 .... headed to shops for sundry items in sundry directions .... ✅
Came home and put dinner together .... ✅
Gone to bed early .... chatting to friends ❣ here and finishing last night's glass of wine .... ✅
Think that was enough for two days .... think I'll stay in bed most of the day tomorrow and just run raids on the housework .... think I need some down time ....

Re: Sleeping too much
Wow @fsith-ans-hope, and @Former-Member, - talk about bouncing back, you guys do it well, packing so much into a day. Yes there's tears, tiredness (sleeps) & irritations along the way but you keep going, its good for me to hear what other people are doing, its too easy for me to not get up and face the day, for here not a single soul notices, OE knows. Too often it seems 'nothing matters' (so nothings done), As difficult as those around you can sometimes be, and I've been there, its better than emptiness. Oh dear, rambling again.
Just woke at 4am for no reason, so saying hi. Nice to find your messages.

Re: Sleeping too much
F&H, I hear you, be gentle with yourself. They say it shouldn't matter what other people think but it does when ya feel left standing alone. My guess is you come across stronger than you are, and have that little wall up for protection, people can read this the wrong way & be cruel. Its not good you think WH might be baging you. Can you talk with him? Marriage counselling maybe? Hope its not too far down the track.
Worrying about what people think, say about yoi, and motives behind behaviour, its just not a good place to go, as nothing's certain, if your doing g the right thing, and the best you can, then how they interpret that is out of your hands. Let go. Glad you're giving yourself a day resting, nurture yourself, relax, recharge the soul. Think I took the practise overboard, a while back now, but now & then is good for us.

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @TAB, nice to see someone awake. Yes I'm OK, just awake too early, again. What you been up to? Having trouble sleeping too? You OK on the inside?
