Re: My only safe place AKA my fortress

Sorry @NatureLover I did actually manage to fall asleep for a couple of hours. Im sorry if I made you worry even though as you said in your other message, so yes its ok to worry a bit .

I wasn't in a very good head space so I took some of the med the doctor gave me to calm me down and it actually made me fall asleep, which doesnt usually happen but I guess I needed it.

I hope your rest help ed you recharge, and I hope that you sleep well tonight.

Morning my friend. I've been up for hours, had less than 2 hours sleep but that's ok. I don't even feel tired which is strange but that's ok . Had my coffee and have one here waiting for you.

Morning again @Emelia8 . I see you've been around early which might mean you didn't sleep or got very little like I did.

Would like to offer you a nice cup of coffee.

Hi @Lee71 ... and good morning to you also. 🌞🌺

Yes I was around the forums early, but not posting. Hit the support button where appropriate was all I've done until now. Very true ... very little sleep ... as usual. Sorry you were the same.

Yep, a nice hot cuppa would be perfect ... onto my second now.

As you know I wasnt around much yesterday, with visitors and all. Will be much the same today. I was actually so tired last night by the time I got into bed at about 11.15pm. I had thought I was sure to sleep better, but sadly not. Having visitors is lovely, but very wearing. The grandkids are both delightful little kids, and well behaved. Their Dad is quite strict with them, which I totally agree with, but they also have lots of freedoms to just be kids. The girl is 7 already, and the boy has just turned 10. So they are at a nice age. Between them, and all the attention they paid my little dog, at least she slept well last night. 😊🐶

Despite the lack of sleep, are you perhaps feeling a little less anxious today? I have a few phonecalls to make this morning ... to my brothers place on the farm first up. My Dad is staying with him for a few days, because he has been very unwell, and also because its fathers day. So Dad will be on the farm and getting waited on hand and foot. It will be good for him, because he lives on his own since Mum died 14 months ago, and gets very lonely. Plus his physical health is deteriorating rapidly of late. Thankfully he still has his mental faculties. Then I will put a call through to my husband's Dad who is in a nursing home in WA. Speaking of my husband, I think he overdid things last night with his daughter and family being here. He had breakfast this morning and is now back in bed. I hope he is feeling well enough to enjoy lunch at a restaurant in town later. My step-daughter is shouting! As she should. 👍

Do you have any plans for your week ahead @Lee71 ? How about you @NatureLover ?

I have a few appointments myself this week. Tuesday back to the dentist to try to do something about my cracked back tooth. Because they couldnt get me in any sooner, I ended up going back and getting antibiotics for the infection a couple of weeks ago. And its no longer bothering me. Tempted to cancel, but I know it will play up again soon because the crack is very significant and is a four-way crack +. So it needs to be fixed at some stage, and I cannot keep putting it off. Then on Wednesday I hope to recommence my volunteer visiting at the nursing home in town. Thursday I have a Breastscreen scan. And Friday I have a follow up appointment with my GP to redo my MHCP etc. And in between that, hubby has a couple of medical appointments as well. So I will be sick of medical waiting rooms by weeks end.

Okay, I need to make some progress on clearing things up after last nights BBQ for 8 people. Start with unpacking the dishwasher I guess, and then rearranging the deck chairs. 🤣

I will try to catch up later to talk more. But until then I will likely just be a support button in the background.

Hi Lee, am relieved to see you this morning

I'm really glad you fell asleep yesterday, that's great you got a couple of hours' sleep 🙂 And less than 2 hours last night...but I'm glad you aren't tired.

Thank you for the coffee, yum 🙂

You're online early today! I've been watching the beach videos - so peaceful and beautiful.

Re: My only safe place AKA my fortress

Hi @Emelia8 , good to see you and get your update after your busy day yesterday! It sounds like it all went very well. I'm sorry though that you didn't get much sleep, despite being so tired...

I was surprised you have a 4 way crack in your tooth and that it's not bothering you! And wow, you have a hectic week ahead...good luck with it all. And I hope you have a lovely Italian lunch today 🙂

Today is an important day for all Victorians - a big announcement from the Premier Dan Andrews about the way forward. Everyone's been hanging out for it, and I want to watch the press conference live.

Catch you later...
