Making a special little space in the outside area of your home where you can share thoughts with your forum friends.

Hello @Exoplanet

I am sure that I did respond to your latest adventures...beach...cabin and greenery...what more could you want..

please keep on tagging me even if I do take a while to respond...

I do love reading up on your latest adventures...

I think that a visit from your daughter is coming up??

speak soon

💚

Hello @eth

Yes I do remember you living in a cabin nearby to your brother and his wife..

the garden sounds wonderful...

I can't wait...need to be patient..

much to do before I get to that stage..

💚

Hello @Meowmy

I am not sure if I have read about your story that is if you have mentioned anything before.

I read between the lines that you are very drained and quite weary...

caring for another is extremely exhausting ...even more so if there is not much appreciation...more expectation...

The corner that you have created does sound creative...at the same time hard to read that you feel unsafe to go outside.

It does sound as though you have a very tiresome living situation...

I hope that you have found some people on the forums with whom you can relate...

Do you post on the Carer side of the forums as that is the role that you have which comes across to me..?

Life comes up with some trying challenges..putting it mildly..

Continue to stay in touch with the forums as if you are not going out...having communication of any kind is a start for you to find yourself..

take care 💜

I’ll respond properly later @Sophia1 . I just want to send my best wishes for the moving today. It’s humungus, so gently if you can. Lots of these 💙💙💙💙💙 and these ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️

@Sophia1 thank you for kind message. It is hard for me. But it is still going day to day. Take care.

Thankyou for including me also @Sophia1

in the afternoon , i love to sit out the front in my camp chair in the shade

Hi @Sophia1

Thanks.

Good to hear from you.

I will try to get back into forum posting (writing & replying) - as soon as I've overcome some strong triggers, from recent interactions (replies).

Not from you, or anything you said.

In keeping with this thread theme - I have been spending a little more time outside, to watch my lovely baby birds & canaries, etc.

I have quite some way to go, before outside (my back or front yard) feels like my own space again.

Interestingly, I have been playing classical music at night - when the Boom Boom (neighbours speakers) is too loud for me to be able to get to sleep. I wear ear plugs, yet can still easily hear it.

It doesn't really mask the noise, but it is soothing & nice to listen to (compared to boom boom).

That's all I can manage to write now - will try again another time (when more energetic & functional).

Adge

All the very best with (for) your moving @Sophia1

Yes it is a burdensome tiring business (process).

I haven't moved in nearly 18 years - after moving many times before that.

Gee I really have been living in this old house that long....

Hope the move went off smoothly @Sophia1 and that you've had some rest since.

Take care x

@Sophia1 I’m hoping the move is behind you, or, at least the moving of the stuff. Unpacking is another thing, and could take a very long time. All ok, as long as the basics are available.

My bottlebrush tree is red. It’s being taken over by three vines atm. Jasmine, a climbing rose and ivy. Eventually it will be free. Emphasis on, eventually.

Sleepless nights and moving are great mates. I hope you find your off button while unpacking, or exhaustion will set in, and it won’t matter for awhile. That’s where I am, the exhaustion has set in.

It sounds like you have dirt plus to deal with as well. A new home comes with surprises.

Try to take it gently p, but, easier said than done. 💛💙💜💚❤️👋👋☕️☕️
