Thank you dear @Eve7
It keeps changing. We get our hopes up and then boom. There's even doubt about coming home tomorrow. Its emotionally taxing. I have to work tomorrow and I just want to run away.
Tell me about you sweetheart please...are things with you ok?

I'm here too @Anastasia ☕🌷
Joining lovely @Eve7 for a cuppa.
Sorry @Anastasia that you are feeling melancholy. I guess its little wonder really. You have been so strong and unwavering in your support for your family members, for such a long time now. This latest setback must seem like a hurdle too high to negotiate and it all seems too much
Without refilling your own cup, you run out of puff. So lets all fill our cups and recharge.
This is a temporary setback @Anastasia and I know you will soon gather yourself up and once again become the superwoman we all know you to be. But until then, allow yourself some time to feel the feelings and come to terms with all the new developments in your family life which have presented over the past week.
Filling our cups ... and sending my love your way. I think you are amazing.
Emelia 💞

No news from NDIS and already support worker company hassling me for new budget. Go away people. When I have it so will you. In the mean time use the funding that's there, there enough!!!!!
Stop it @Anastasia !!!
Drink the coffee
Eat the chocolate
Thank you both @Emelia8 @Eve7

Not really @pancakes to get what I need to get done. I have back to back meetings from 9am tomorrow. My son is on s watch again so have enlisted in bf to take him to work, it's a nightmare really, but I organised the appointments over a week ago and I have to go in 😔
I'm on leave from 24 December so hanging out for then.

Im sorry @Anastasia I really wish it weren't so hectic all the fricken time for you. Its just not fair. Im glad bf is kicking in and doing what he can to help out. What about the dad? Can he help out at all? Or is that more trouble than it's worth going there?
