Oh gosh, @Anastasia , the first birthday without him 💔
Thinking of you...only two more days of the craziness with training someone at work, working yourself, doing the morning shift...you are doing amazingly. This weekend you can fall in a heap and rest... 💚

@Anastasia @NatureLover My ring arrived today. I had to stretch it to fit over my fat fingers, but I do like it. Rose gold.

Happy to hear about your ring, @Anastasia 🙂
I want to say, Congratulations!!! You made it!!! You've left that overpressured job!
Well done, and I hope that now you can rest! Along with the things you need to do for your new business and your Mum, of course.
I am doing well...my boss asked me to work an extra day last week, and it wiped me out. So on Wednesday and yesterday I just rested, read a book and went for a couple of gentle walks. It was great. Today I feel more like myself and am hoping to chew through a lot of overdue housework. This weekend will be sunny with high 20s, so perfect for being outside too.
I hope you can treat yourself to a small celebration for leaving your stressful job and being your own boss in future.
Sending hugs and 💚

Hello dear friend, I notice you haven't been here for 2 days and am hoping everything's OK with you, your Mum and your boy... Hoping it's a case of just "flopping" after your work finished on Friday.
No pressure to reply, just wanted to say I notice your absence and am sending wishes. 💚 @Anastasia

Hi @Anastasia , thank you for clicking the "support" button. I came here to say I was getting worried about you and was hoping that you, your boy and your Mum were OK...
I notice you were online in the small hours, which means little sleep for you again 😞
Am sending wishes that you are all coping, also for sleep...
Sending much 💚 and hugs...
