Moving forward

Moving forward

As Monday looms I have been trying to work out how to move forward. Today I started collecting things for my coping box (thanks @Crazy_Bug_Lady). I bought some of my fave chocolates to put in and have been gathering bits and pieces. Happy for any other suggestions as to what to put in. I think I may need one for the car too. I'm thinking I may copy some pieces of wisdom from this forum and print them up to add in.

I'm hoping that I get to write more on this thread than the struggle thread as time goes by. Please feel free to add how you are moving forward as well. 💜😊

Re: Moving forward

Ahh you know my youth then @TAB 😜 Only joking it would have been more like spilling drinks on the dance floor and falling down. I'll be fine now I hope. Think writing down I have a case of the crazies always helps a bit on here. It's like a checking reality button.

Re: Moving forward

Crossed wires are so much fun @TAB. Hopefully now you can relax a bit about the application process you'll be able to sort out your back and other stuff and hope work comes through.

Re: Moving forward

@Former-Member. I had a huge sleep in. Thought I woke at 11am but it was 1pm lol. Always tired after sessions. Still managed to get documents scanned and emailed - so I can claim some of my superannuation & pay off debts. Changed library books. Did a bit of shopping - my god teenage boys eat a lot! Had a really long talk in the supermarket with one of the sweetest souls in town. She loves a chat - as do I. And she has noticed a change in my look these past few weeks. She told me I'm smiling heaps - genuine smiles & I seem more content. She is one of those beautiful wise women that notice things and she's always ready with a hug. I adore her.

Re: Moving forward

Started my day as a blubbering idiot. Took me a while to pull it all together. I got a phone call from the chaplain to check on how I'm tracking and that helped a bit. Made some phone calls which could well mean that I've created another week from hell next week. Meetings on Mon and Tues - heavy stuff meetings. I hope the gods are kind to me. I've got an appointment with my psychologist on Wed which means I can at least dump the lot on him if necessary.

Well it's all set in motion now so I guess I'll have to follow through. Feel as if I'm in shock atm. I've just had a nice relaxing end of the week beer and methinks I'll have another.
Love to all 💕

Re: Moving forward

That sounds like a really nice day and well needed sleep @utopia. You got lots of things that helped. You must have needed that sleep. And yes teenage boys can shovel food down, there's not such thing as a full fridge or pantry. I hope you have a good weekend.💜😊

@Kurra Well done for standing up for you. You certainly did move forward today. I'll be around next week when :pile_of_poo: hits the fan since I'm partly responsible for encouraging you if you need a shoulder or someone to vent to. I hope the gods are kind to you too. Have a beer for me too. It's too cold to have one here. 💜😊🍺

Re: Moving forward

This one isn't refrigerated. Too cold here for a cold one here too. Just didn't feel like wine or spirits.
Eh? You're not responsible for my actions @Former-Member. I'm that way inclined anyway. Action is far better than inaction. It's just that I've stirred the pot and gone higher up the chain of command. I'm certain it won't go against me at that level but it could well do so lower down the chain. Oh well. What is done is done. Thems the breaks eh?
