Re: Far and Away

Hi Hon. Feeling quite flat this morning - have been having some bad dreams this week - think it is related to the reduction in my night meds but also don't want to increase them again because I am less tired in the morning - it is that fine balance again that I need to discuss with my pdoc. She is away this week so it will not be untile next week so hoping the dreams settle by then.

Friend may come around today but to be honest I won't be disappointed if he can't make it as I have so much to get done. I will have to force myself up and about to get things done though as I am really tired today. The quicker I get it done though the sooner I can sort everything out and begin getting other things in order. Then I can also get the rubbish out onto the trailer and take that all away as well. There is a lot of gardening I will be able to do - including cutting back some tries and the rose bushes and that can all go straight onto the trailer.

There really is so much to do and I would like to have most of it done by Wednesday when we hsve DBT strting again. Getting back into that routine nd going back to the pool will help me when I go back to work as well. 

Still no word on a school for me - going to call HR early next week and see if there is any further word on how the process is going. It is getting so close to the beginning of term that they need to do it soon - I have the feeling that it is going to be quite close to the return of term and as such will not give me any preparation time and that will be stressful - but I also need to try not to let it get to me as that will send me backwards and that is not a place either myself or anyone wants me to be - go with the flow hey as I can only do what I can go Smiley Tongue

@Faith-and-Hope only a couple of weeks to go and I can have a real conversation with you again - so much been happening and so many times I wish you could chat with me - I miss my F&H words but I do have you with me in so many ways - I still wear my necklace when I go out and have you with me in that way. At home I have my stones and the peacock painting is in full view (but neglected a bit lately with all the garage work). I am looking forward to getting back to that - that will be part of my daily routine so I can keep that balance when I am back to work.

Sending you mega hugs and loads of love and hoping you are well - miss you so much and can't wait for you to be back here with us Heart

Re: Far and Away

@Faith-and-Hope The trailer has been unloaded and I have begun putting the rubbish onto it. It is too warm for me to dd too much at once so regulalr breaks are essential. Toby has been such a good boy - laying at the gate whilst I take things outside to the trailer. Even when people have been walking past he has stayed there so he is learning still. Usually he chases people up the path but today he has just sat at the gate which has really helped me get things out.

Friend messaged me to apologise that he hasn't been around as he has been really busy but will message me again later to see if he can visit. He has even suggested a place we can go for a visit together. I don't think I will be up to going anywhere later today but he is welcome to visit for a while later today - might even force me into the shower beforehand lol

I really am extremely tired today but pushing myself to get this stuff all done. Still so much to do and it is starting to feel like it is getting on top of me rather than the other way around - but I am persisting so I might win the battle eventually.

Cat has been outside nearly all day - it is not super hot today and there is a breeze so she is enjoying the pleasant weather. It is decidedly hotter in the garage though even with the doors open and the breeze blowing through.

Better go and get back into it just incase friend does want to pop around later and I need to stop for the day early.

Will update you again later Hon. Hope you are sleeping well now and wake up refreshed and ready to begin the day. Love ya Heart

Re: Far and Away

Hi @Faith-and-Hope thinking of you. Hope you’re having a nice time with your family. Miss chatting with you. 

Take care ❤️❤️

Re: Far and Away

Good evening/morning @Faith-and-Hope Heart

Today has gotten away from me a bit - didn't get everything done I wanted to and that will put me behind a bit over the weekend but there is nothing I can do about that for tonight.

Both friend and I have been super busy today so no meeting - going to see how tomorrow goes but it really is a matter of when we are both free. I still want to meet again soon and hope he does as well but will take it as it comes. Hoping that it won't be too long but I do really want to get things here sorted and that is super important to me before I find out about work. Still waiting on hearing about that but if I don't hear early next week then I will call to find out where the process is in that regard.

I am settling in tonight to watch the tennis and cricket - possibly going to be a later night for me as the 20/20 match doesn't start until 9.30 as it is in Perth tonight. Going to take meds later and try to watch the match but I am also pretty exhausted today and may fall asleep anyway. 

Hope you have had a good sleep and your day ahead is filled with light = look forward to 'seeing' your support to know you are around Heart

Re: Far and Away

Hey @Zoe7 (and a hi and miss you @Faith-and-Hope).

Just calling by as I'm wondering how your day has been and whether you've had a chance to make plans to catch up with friend. Also just wanted to say hi really and thinking of you hoping your day has been OK or better 💗

Re: Far and Away

Thanks for thinking of me CB Heart No plans to catch up with friend @CheerBear We left it pretty open for the next couple of days as we both have had things to do. I went to the old work with my sister this morning and we found some of my games and some art things so that was a good thing. Still angry that my posters were apparently thrown out - not just because they cost money but also it is such a waste of resources and ridiculous that anything like that is thrown out. I know I have to get over it but it is just another one of those things that I am so disappointed about after all the years I was all that school.

Everything is still in the car as I was too tired to even think about where I was going to put everything let alone get them out of the car. 

I am still feeling very tired and flat this afternoon but trying to let it pass as best I can - tried a nap but more rested my eyes than fell asleep, Nearly baby feeding time anyway so no doubt Cat would wake me with her talking lol

Just using the rest of today as a rest day - all the work I have done this week has definitely taken it out of me and I need a break from everything. Will watch the tennis tonight but don't think it will be as late a night for me tonight as it was last night - stayed up to watch the Hurricanes play in Perth Smiley Surprised

How has you day been so far CB?

Saw your support earlier @Faith-and-Hope - gave me a heartlift as usual Heart

Re: Far and Away

Hey @Faith-and-Hope Very much missing you today Hon Heart

Re: Far and Away

Nice to see you @Zoe7 😊 Great that you and friend are planning to catch up even though you're both busy. Do you send messages throughout the day or usually have a chat session (if that makes sense)?

Sorry about the posters. That sucks lots and doesn't make sense to me either. Well done on getting to work and finding some of your things today. Will you be able to use them at your new work?

I can imagine how tired you'd be after garage wall week. Sorry to hear you've been feeling flat though. I wonder if flat goes hand and hand with tired (it can for me)?

My day today has been really good thanks. Definitely one of the better ones for me this week. I haven't been feeling very awesome but have felt a less ugh today (crossing fingers it lasts a while). We left early this morning to head out for the day and night (with kitty who is visiting too 🙂) and caught up with two of my/our favourite people in the world with well and unwell people. Heart feels good for it 😊

Re: Far and Away

I bet IBK is getting plenty of cuddles and love then @CheerBear She will be the most socialised little kitten there can possibly be Cat Happy

Yes flat does go hand in hand with tired for me usually and it is no onder I feel like that today (and yesterday) with how much I have done this week. The work itself has been physically exhausting and I haven't been sleeping as well as I was so all that combined has affected me mentally as well. I am not too bad though - just flat and needing to get some rest before I tackle more of the work. Yesterday I found it hard to even walk so it has certainly taken it out of me physically - maybe done too much all at once but I have had great help from my sister and as a result wanted to get it all done uite quickly.

I honestly haven't had the energy to catch up with friend so I am pleased he is busy as well. We often chat a couple of times a day but that has been less the last couple of days with us being so busy - last night was the first night we haven't had an extended conversation but will probably catch up with him tonight.

You sound like you are having a good day and that is lovely to hear. Visiting well and unwell ones for would be lovely for all of you - hope IBK behaves herself Smiley Tongue She must be okay in the car but I suspect she gets lots of cuddles there too. It is great that you are feeling less blah - that always helps get through the days a little better Heart
