Please don't be sorry, Lee. I'm still confused, but I'm happy to talk about it tomorrow, or leave it, whatever you prefer. I care about your wellbeing. ❤

I would like to talk it through, one reason being that I might inadvertently keep offending you by doing the same thing again, whatever it is... But I understand if you don't feel up to it, Lee. I don't want you to feel you have to talk about anything you don't want to.
This thread is for your support, so I will go with whatever's best for you...you can decide. ❤
It's time for me to log off for the night...I am wishing for at least 4 hours' sleep for you, and a bearable night...Sending you lots of gentle (virtual) hugs (I hope that is OK)...hoping to see you tomorrow, Lee... ❤

Thank you @NatureLover ... it is always nice to be here. Although a member last night was experiencing something I have been experiencing over the past week, so that was quite difficult for me last night. Just forces you to focus on things very close to self I guess. So that was triggering, but I got through it okay in the end. But yes, you are right ... things are still not good. I will try to update my thread later today with a bit of an update for everyone.
I was not aware that you have a volunteer job ... good for you. I find volunteering very good for the soul, as well as getting me out of the house. Which is also very important. Sadly my volunteering was also put on hold in March when the shutdowns occurred. No idea when it will start again, as I volunteer in a nursing home environment. I really miss it, as its been almost 6 months now since I last did my volunteer gig.
Do you have much on today Nature? How about you @Lee71 ... you went very quiet last night. I hope my return has not contributed to that. Wishing you both as good a day as you can possibly have.
Emelia 🌸
