Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Thank you @NatureLover 🙏💗

Still in bed ... very dull and wet here right now. Didnt sleep, so feeling very tired now. Listening to rain on roof is nice. But wont be so good on my drive to apt today. Could get heavy judging from forecast. Best take a brolly. ☔

I think you will have volunteer work today? Hope it goes okay.

Hi @Maggie hope both you and furbaby are doing well. 🐶🍒

Sorry you got no sleep, @Emelia8 😞 I hope your long drive today goes OK, despite this and the rain....

You've got a good memory. I actually have a couple of weeks off around Christmas and New Year, so don't need to go in today. It's a relief, actually.

You will be in your appointment now...hope it's going well.

@NatureLover I don’t particularly like Christmas. Not for its original reason, but the commercialism and pressure so many people are under. It will pass, it does every year.

I had an appointment this morning with another physio. We are looking towards hydro therapy next year, but she is also providing a course for pain management. It sounds really good so far.

I’m sorry you are under pressure at your volunteer work. I hope it works out for you. You’ve been there for a long time, I hope that speaks in your favour.

How are your shoulders ?

I understand the difficulty keeping up with housework etc. I was online this morning on an art thread. Someone asked how everyone keeps organised. I responded with, organised, what’s that. Within minutes 4 others had left the ha ha response. We are not alone.

Take things as easy as you can. 💙💙💙

@Emelia8 Furbaby is doing ok, I’m having moments, lots of them. Time of year etc.

I hope your appointment today went, or is going, as well as can be expected. 💕💕

Hi @Maggie ...it sounds like this is a difficult time of year for you. I'm sorry to hear. And I agree about the pressure at Christmas for so many people. 😞

I'm glad your little furbaby is doing OK.

Your physio who is also providing pain management sounds hopeful. 🙂

My shoulders are bad this morning, but they ease up as I move throughout the day. Some days are worse than others...it's a mystery.

Thanks for your good wishes re work, and your encouragement re housework...much appreciated. Also I meant to say, thanks for your tag in the Craft Corner thread last week or the week before...that's a nice thread for me to go on.

Am feeling dopey today, depite a coffee...think I need another one. Here's another one for you too... ☕ with some 💜

@Emelia8 I hope your big day yesterday went OK... 💚

@Snowie am thinking of you and hoping that Christmas goes OK for you... 💙

Thanks @NatureLover

How have you been?

Have you got any plans for xmas?

@Maggie was just listening to this and it gave me goosebumps. It has occurred to me recently that I'm not entirely secular - that it could be a spectrum, like so many things.

Anyway, I thought I'd send it to you...

Hi @Snowie ...going OK mostly, thanks. I don't do Christmas these days...I usually do the Christmas Day shift at work, but not this year. I've sent all the presents to my family already. So I plan to listen to music, sit outside (if it's sunny) and drink Midori. How about you? I hope it's not too stressful a day for you?

@Anastasia just read your Worry Room thread - yes, I know I shouldn't stray off my own thread at the moment according to psychologist! - and wanted to send you a huge hug and many wishes for strength and comfort...I believe in you ! I hope you can take some time for yourself this 'holiday' season, and time away from work too...sending 💙

Josh Groban is a fantastic singer @NatureLover ... no matter the song. Though I do love that one. And Im not religious. 😄🎄🌷

One of the songs I chose for my Mums funeral last year was You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban. Beautiful song, but it brings tears every time I hear it now.
