Thank goodness they didn't have a smell button on Zoom @Snowie 😂😂😂😂

And I never wear make-up. Most of the time I just scoop my hair up into a clip as well so I often look rough and ready. I don't care too much about what people think. I'm me, and that's that.

Hey you gorgeous gals @Snowie , @Sans911 , @outlander , @Faith-and-Hope , @Shaz51  💜😘💐

Wow youve come so far @Sans911 . You've done lots of hard work. The title of this thread says it all. I'm really proud of you and pleased for you. One step at a time and let's hope you get some work and that 'riding a bike again' feeling comes back.  

@Snowie made me giggle about your zoom session and rather grateful it wasn't me. I have broken out in cold sores all around my nose from my heavy head cold. I often do, it's been part of life for me but man seeing them on a screen would be 😱. I'm really glad it went ok. You are sounding ok at the moment but I'm not assuming anything, just hoping I'm right.

I hardly ever wear makeup either @Sans911 If I need to I borrow it of my D!

And my hair normally gets thrown into a bun since its long and I can't be bothered with it.

Least I would have smelled ok 😂

@Teejthat sounds terrible hun about the cold sores. I hope you are getting better now and loking after yourself. I am ok at the moment. Its been an ok day and I will take it and run with it. They have been few and far between lately so will saviour the moment.

Has been good to be able to support others too ❤❤

How are you doing?

[Teej]

I've noticed your beautiful support over the last few days @Snowie . I hadn't been much on the forum before then to know what has been happening so it may have been much longer that you've been caring and supporting lots 🤦‍♀️ (That sounded like a jumble) 

I'm doing strangely ok. Like you it's felt good to be here giving back again. My mood is actually quite buoyant currently. A small change in meds and some changes in circumstances have helped. My property settlement finally happened and that chapter of my life is over. 
I also had the reprieve from centrelink and the extra money we will get has been a gift that will help me set up better for when this is all over.

And I think I'm enjoying getting this extra time with my kidult s that are living here full time and working from home. Ask me next week though if we are not ready to k-ill each other (metaphorically of course). My new kind of normal is ok for now. 

[Snowie]

Glad your new kind of normal is ok @Teej 

Sometimes ok is others great, so will take it when it comes along. 

Glad you are getting extra time with your kids, it is the small things that make a difference.

Mine are home too. I too don't want to k*ll them but yes you are right, that might change after another few weeks of social isolation!

Lucky I can still go outside, appreciate nature and get some "me" time.

Good news does help us I find and we need to take those good times and saviour them.

Sleep time for me. Good night @Teej , has been really nice connecting with you tonight.

As always, hugs and love sent your way

@Sans911 @outlander love and hugs to you both too 💌💖💜❣
