Hopefully you can keep it together to enjoy your anniversary dinner @Sophia1 I know how hard that is when all you feel like doing is screaming and having a meltdown
My return to work has been delayed again - HR needs more information from my GP before they can begin the process and sadly she is away until the middle of the first week of term - so considering all that needs to be done for me to be able return I think we are looking at a few weeks into the term at the minimum. It significantly affects the plan to retuning to more fulltime work by the end of the year but that is something I will have to deal with as the next few months go on. The aim is to get back 4 days a week so I can still do DBT and all my appointments on a Wednesday - so it will be like working fulltime anyway.
I also have ironing to do today - it is on my list anyway. There is not much to do but like you I don't particularly like ironing but I do like my clothes to be wrinkle free lol

Hi @Sophia1 Sorry I haven't written much recently.
So tired, my fingers are hitting the wrong keyboard letters.
I'm close to having a meltdown myself.
I sometimes feel like yelling & screaming, but usually nothing comes out.
I hope things look up for you soon - I wish that for myself also.
Happy Anniversary! I hope it's special for you.

Hi @Sophia1
Cat stories - oh yes - I have stacks of those - I have had cats a lot through my lifetime though I usually only write about Companion Cat now
Actually - she is still narky with me that I was away for a few days and wants to sit on my lap as soon as I sit down and it's getting troublesome
I have had a virus all over the weekend - I feel okay today so I am back but yeah - I was having trouble organising myself and the cat sat on me all the time I was taking breaks and once I started feeling better I would turf her off and she was giving me the reverse glare and I felt annoyed with her too I am afraid
But she is just a cat and I am the human running this show - grump
So her little trick is that she tried to hold my arm down by putting both of her hands on my arm and tries really hard to hold my arm down - and keep me wherever - and during the weekend I spent a lot of time reading in bed -
It doesn't work for her and I laugh at her and she hates that
But of course - feeling headachey and having a runny nose and sore throat I felt it better that the shedding cat needed to shed elsewhere but she threw up on the carpet - ah sheesh
Yes - it's time she went to the vet and I will be organising that today if I get that far with all the catching up to do - I think the problem is hairballs but it's time for her shots
But I get it - she is really snaky with me for going away - she tried being angry early last year after I went to Lakes Entrance and I have been to Sydney and Hobart since then and she has been okay with that but this last trip was a day longer and I saw my daughter and asked if she had been okay or if she had been crying when I was away and she was crying
So yes - I get it - my parents took trips - often - and went overseas when we were older - we just have to put up with people taking trips and the cat must too
And I am rattling

Oh gee thanks @Maggie
That's my cat exactly -
I am wondering what I look like to her. I know she thinks I am a shaman - I have all the mystically powers over the air - making it hotter or colder - the lights - I can get the food out of the packet and there is nearly always plenty - I put down fresh water though she prefers to drink out of puddles - so a kind of passive-aggression there - and her litter tray - if I forget about that she can spread it around - and then - she can throw up on the carpet - urk - I clean that mess up too
Ever imagine we can have a slave-complex
Of course one of her favourite tricks is going outside - then banging on the door meowing - and then coming in and building a huge sand-castle in the litter tray but guess what - I can check on that and there is often nothing there
I have more stories but this is enough for one day -

I love the cat - maybe I am allergic to her fur
