Groundhog Day - our thoughts and our stories finding our way along the journey

Re: Groundhog Day - our thoughts and our stories finding our way along the journey

@Former-Member
I just tried to post a message here to @Former-Member and it said that Sane forums is closed for maintenance.
How strange. My post disappeared. 😳😃

Re: Groundhog Day - our thoughts and our stories finding our way along the journey

That is strange @Former-Member.  The forums look to be working fine from my end.  We've all lost posts over time which is really aggravating.  When I'm posting something long, which takes time to compose, I tend to do it in a word doc these days.  Then I can cut and paste it into a post and feel confident that it won't be lost.

Let me know if you need any help 🙂

Re: Groundhog Day - our thoughts and our stories finding our way along the journey

It’s ok, thanks @Former-Member 😊 🌺🌸🌷
I’ll message another time.
I was just wondering if this has happened before, regarding it saying, Sane closed for maintenance. I’ve never seen that before. 😆

Re: Groundhog Day - our thoughts and our stories finding our way along the journey

Our tech people were working on the site doing something that normally doesn't cause any disruption but this time knocked us off-line for a few minutes @Former-Member.  They'll do that maintenance at a different time in future.

Hi @Former-Member

Sorry to read that you lost a post. How did your day go? Mine was a bit hectic, but good. I think with the humidity lifting here a lot today has made the world of difference to me feeling more energetic and getting more done. Is it still raining your end? - it's pouring buckets here. It's lovely and soothing - I love listening to the rain.

I hope this post finds you well. Thinking of you 💕xx

Re: Groundhog Day - our thoughts and our stories finding our way along the journey

Hi @Former-Member
I prefer cooler weather too.
It is still raining here. When the sun comes out, it’s super humid.
I’ve been home today, sorting problems, which included long phone calls trying to sort things out. Partly sorted.

Also included in the day was a rare uncomfortable phone call with my mother, which left me feeling very sad. Sad for what never was and never will be.
It’s easier when I don’t speak to her, but sometimes that’s unavoidable.
Very disfunctional family, which I do my very best to avoid.

Haven’t had a chance to relax yet.
Looking forward to shower and bed

Is your daughter still at home with you?

💜🌸🌺🌷

Hi @Former-Member

So pleased the phone calls brought some resolution for you and your on your way to having things sorted. That must take some weight off your shoulders which is a good thing.

I was sad to read about the phone call with your mother.....I also don't contact my mother. She was never a good one and nothing has changed. It can be hard without family support though - do you have any siblings or extended family you can talk to or lean on? I don't, but have some friends I can talk to, although most of them are struggling themselves now too. I am the one there for them presently. That seems ironic to me as they are very strong people, stronger them me but the roles have reversed for now. I like being needed.

My daughter came home last night and tonight. She briefly talks for 5 minutes and then goes to bed after work. We barely speak. Although she is with me in the flesh, she is somewhere else in spirit. I can feel very alone with her - but the priority is her well being. That is what I am most concerned about. But if she doesn't open up to us I am not sure what we can do. She is now in total denial about her abusive relationship - once again. She isn't well or stable in that regard.

I managed to get everything I planned to do done today and was feeling happy earlier on in the evening. Then my mood dipped later and am feeling a bit low - so am pushing through. With my male friend dying and his wife will probably move away to live at her daughter's - and losing my daughter once again, I am feeling grief and alone in it again. Sorry for being down tonight - I will fight my way back up again tomorrow - a new day.

Nothing like a warm shower then slipping into clean sheets for a good night sleep. Sweet dreams my dear @Former-Member 💜

Thanks for message @Former-Member 💜
Will have to reply probably tomorrow.
Sleep med is working and I can hardly read or type.

Blurry eyes and sleeeeepy. Sleep well 😘
