Am Not Coping

[Faith-and-Hope]

Hi everybody 👋💕

Yes flight was okay, but too short on sleep so I am heading to bed now that we are in ..... along with tired, hissy baby dragons ..... big dragon is already out jogging, which provides a sense of relief, actually, but not what I believe is good for him to be doing just now.

Will be chatting with carers across the weekend.  I finally plucked up the courage to post our situation as a job, rather than just approaching the carers who looked suitable by their profile, and that resulted in a mini-flood of interest ..... something I was trying to avoid, but it’s better than having no takers.  Now I will be meeting them in person, because strong dialects or accents will be problematic, so will an inappropriate understanding of D2’s intellectual level.

Hoping Toby is on the mend this morning @Zoe7  .....

It sounds as if Fridays are going to be busy but great @Zoe7  - that was a very positive post and I am really happy for you

It seems the new school will be much easier for you - and the other staff members friendly and helpful today you - and appreciative - that has to be a plus - a real highlight at the a new work place - such good news

Poor Toby - it is so sad when our pets are sick - they can't tell us but throwing up - luckily on a hard surface I imagine - being near the back door - better out than in - and evidence that he was more than just flat - I do hope he is recovered to day - is he likely to have eaten something off - 

Once Companion Cat was sick and threw up a big spider - possibly a huntman - it was grotesque - more than she could handle obviously - but she still ate spiders and if I sprayed them I had to find them before she did - eck - the things animals will eat sometimes

There are things to be ironed out in the coming weeks but you have done so much already - a couple of months ago you had so much pressure on you with HR and the principal and not knowing if you would have work this year and here you are - that is so encouraging

There is light at the end of my tunnel too - great to have a highlight of the day/week - whatever - to report and I am glad to read it

Dec

All of this looks like so much fun

And this

It just started raining here too - 🙂

@eth @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member thanks the headache is pretty much gone. Take care of your good selves 

[Former-Member]

Glad to hear it @Sam3 

Actually Im looking after hubby today. At a medical apt waiting now. Dont you get so tired of seemingly spending half your life in medical waiting rooms? Sigh. 

Sherry 😕

[Sam3]

Yes you must be in waiting rooms more than most @Former-Member. We’ve got dental checkups next week & I usually do 2 timeslots with 2 kids simultaneously at different dentists but there’s only 1 dentist available then & I’m having my checkup too so our family will be there for hours! How did hubby’s appointment go?

Thinking of you.

@Faith-and-Hope  @Sam3  @Former-Member  @Owlunar  @eth  and everyone else passing through...

Toby seems much better this morning. He isn't back to his usual running around self just yet but he has been following me around again and not laying in one spot all morning. @eth It was funny that you nearly put an @ in front of his name - I do talk about him a lot and he is very well known here so sometimes it feels like he is part of the forum also 🐶

Whatever Toby had I seemed to have caught - spent the whole night and most of today running to the bathroom and then sleeping when I could. I think the worst has past now but definitely taking it easy for the rest of today. I am grateful that I didn't feel so unwell whilst at work.

It is much cooler here today so snuggled up in the doona is actually helping to stay warm as well as getting some rest and comfort. Toby is of course snuggled up close and Cat has wandered outside from her bedroom for the afternoon. She joined me in bed this morning again and it is lovely to wake up to her being there,

@Faith-and-Hope I am really pleased that you have been receiving calls from people to help with D2 and hope you find someone really lovely to fill that role. It will be such a relief for you to have that all sorted so you, Visual and S2 can all be able to go to your courses. Fingers crossed you find someone quickly Hon. I hope you have caught up on some sleep too - such a mess with missing your flight but glad you were able to organise one so quickly. Very much thinking of you today with all that is going on for you Hon 

@Former-Member  I hope the appointment with Hubby went okay and that you are having a better day today 

@Owlunar  It has been a good start at the new school - the kids are really lovely and so are the staff. I know there will be challenges but I will have to deal with them as they come up. We have a public holiday here on Monday so not back until Tuesday and then a day off on Wednesday so it will be another short week for me - hoping this gradual introduction to classes will help me settle in a bit more as well.

@Sam3  Gotten through the first week here and you only have a week until you begin your new job - very much hoping it is a good environment for you too Hon. Will be very interested to see how it all goes for you 

[Faith-and-Hope]

So glad Toby is better than he was @Zoe7.  I can’t stay on forum just now, but will be around on and off this evening.  Take care.  Hugs ❣️

Hi everybody 👋💕

[Zoe7]

I going to try to watch the cricket tonight @Faith-and-Hope so will be on and off the forum myself. I am still feeling quite weak and lethargic so not even sure I will make it through the match. Toby is a lot better this afternoon - he seems back to his usual happy, playful self. Hope all is well for you there Hon - will try to catch you later
