Re: Coping Toolbox ( what is in yours to help you cope )
@Shaz51 oh puzzles are great!
Have you done one with 1000 pieces or more? I haven't but one of my friends used to and she loved them.
I'm OK. Dealing with husband's negativity. It is so draining. On top of no electric power as Ausgrid is doing maintenance work. So I will be very behind in my work 😔. Cleaned up doggies vomit in the car after a lovely walk with him. He still gets car sick at 7 months!
Now waiting for kids to come back from school...tiring day.
I'm glad to hear your aches are better today 🤗🥰🫂

Re: Coping Toolbox ( what is in yours to help you cope )
@Shaz51 oh Shazzy! 2000!! Wow! You are a legend! I struggle with my kids space puzzle with no edges 😂😂😂.
Yea, I actually told my husband today. Please no more negativity for the day.
Sigh...
Yes, no power which means no vacumn cleaner, just soap and water and leaving the door open so the car dries.
When the power comes back on I will try to dry it more.
Hopefully by tomorrow the aches will be gone!

@Shaz51 , he didn't say anything. I try to call him out on behaviour that's not constructive as much as possible.
Puzzles are a lovely activity to do with mums 🥰. My mum doesn't really like them.

Re: Coping Toolbox ( what is in yours to help you cope )
Hi @Shaz51 I actually haven't done a Jigsaw Puzzle for at least 15 years.
I just found some Jigsaw Puzzles that I didn't know I had (under a pile).
So I've put them in clear view, on a shelf - To remind myself to have a go at doing them (sometime).
There's not much in my Coping Box, at the moment.
Just treading water vigorously, so as not to sink - metaphorically, of course.

Re: Coping Toolbox ( what is in yours to help you cope )
Puzzles are great, I don't always have the patience for them but they are very satisfying when you solve them hey. I've been listening to a lot of music to self soothe lately.
