I understand lack of inspiration/ motivation. I'll keep working on sending those vibes with you L. After all you are a work in progress 😉 as your name suggests - we all are my friend. 🤗
The treatment has put the cancer to sleep. Dr says it will return but giving him 2 months off. I saw him yesterday and he said he feels as good as he has in months so that is just wonderful. He is back walking everyday with mum and even managed some gardening. How's that for inspiration 💞
Love you @WIP keep taking care of you and Levi xxx

It sounds like your day is going okay so far @Anastasia and that is lovely to hear. One step at a time (literally for you this morning) - do what you can when you can and take it as it comes. I hope the coffee scrub shower is invigorating - I don't drink coffee but do like the smell so a shower in the grounds would be lovely. Hugs and hugs and hugs
