Hello beautiful girl,
I see sleep did not come through the night. I'm sorry, are you ok...ish? Working from home so around for a cuppa today if you need/want one? I didn't get the best night sleep so I am pleased it's Friday. My boys are off to their Dad's so I'll miss them but I'm very happy they will finally see him. They are very excited. Friday night pizza should be nice, I'll set you a place, Mum and Dad would like that.
So it's day six @Emelia8 and I saw this photo yesterday on my Facebook and immediately thought of you...
Love you more 🌸🐾🐕🌸
@Appleblossom @Bow @Eve7 @Former-Member @Anastasia @Snowie @outlander @Shaz51 @Peri @BlueBay @WIP @Owlunar @Clawde @greenpea @NatureLover and any others I have missed.
Just wanted to quickly touch base today to thank you all. I havent been much support to anyone lately, and that does not sit well with me. So I'm sorry, but its just the way things are right now. I am just keeping my head above water, trying hard not to sink.
I was able to get onto the Sane chat line again last night and had a helpful chat to the counsellor there. Again, I took more than my allocated time ... close to an hour all up I think. Feel a little guilty about that, as I know how frustrating it is to be constantly getting the "Chat not available" message. It was a different counsellor this time, but she was also very good. The other one I had the previous night kept my discussion for future reference so I didnt have to go through all the basics again.
So @WIP if you decide to use the facility, keep in mind that you can do that also if you ask them. I was not aware they could do that, but they suggested it when I spoke to them, so thought it a great option. Obviously you need to use the same 'name' each time, so they know. And incidentally I have not been using my Emelia user name in chat.
I got a call from my optometrist this morning to say that my new glasses have arrived. So I will be going into town later this morning to pick them up. That will be good because my eyes have been really playing up badly lately, and I hope the new glasses will help somewhat.
My dad had another fall yesterday ... no serious damage, but has hurt his already crook knee again. His mobility is a real concern, and he refuses to use a walker, preferring to use his quad walking stick. And no convincing him otherwise. I guess that decision will be made for him, if he has a bad fall resulting in breakages. Still no openings at the nursing home he has asked to go into.
Hubby is still unwell today, and was up and down all night again, but perhaps a little better now. I hope so anyway. Holly was very disturbed and not herself yesterday, but seems fine now thankfully.
Another very wet day is expected here today.
Not sure how much I will be around, but please know I am reading your messages when they come. And I appreciate each and every one of them. I appreciate each and every one of you also.
I hope you all have reasonable days, in the lead up to a good weekend.
@Anastasia ... no, I got almost no sleep again last night. Cant keep doing this! Am I okay? Yeah, I guess so. Little choice really is there? You would know what thats like too I expect. I'm glad you are working from home today, and perhaps you may be able to sneak in a bit of a nap through the day to try to compensate for your lack of sleep overnight. Sounds like your place is going to be a bit quiet over the weekend, with both your boys heading off to their Dads for the weekend. And your family Friday pizza night will be a much quieter and more enjoyable affair than last week turned out to be. Oh yeah, I would love that ... if your parents are anything like you, they are lovely people. Thank you for my Day 6 photo. Nice one. I will try to not let the world change my smile. Although I guess I dont smile anywhere near as much as I used to. It would be nice to change that, wouldnt it? Love you more. 💖🤗

Not a problem at all about not responding to my earlier post @Anastasia ... I know you are working, so there are no expectations. I had thought I could have a cuppa with you during the day, but I read your day was not going to plan, so decided not to tag you. Ha ha ... winning friends and influencing people ... glad your boss appreciates you, as he damned well should!
Yeah Dad is okay, but sore. My DIL took him into town today to get checked over, but all seems okay. Yes our poor Dad's 💪💝. I'm glad you are catching up with yours for friday dinner. And I think yes, lets fly off somewhere afterwards. @Eve7 @WIP @Bow @Former-Member and anyone else would be very welcome to come fly with us too, into our own little fantasy world. A brief escape from the worries of the world.
I got a call from my sister this arvo. The one who visited on the weekend and delivered Mums meerkats. She was riding her horse, which bucked and threw her. She has broken her wrist quite badly. Right across the bottom of the forearm and a vertical fracture up the arm as well. She has a temporary caste for now but needs CT Scan on Monday to see if a plate is needed for the split bone. So she is going to be very limited in what she does for at least 6 weeks. It sounds pretty painful, so I feel very sorry for her.
Yes I have looked at the book a call option for the Sane phone counselling. It would be good, but the times you can request are too broad for me. If I could say between 12.30pm and 1.30pm for example that would be perfect. But the preferred time options you can book are 10am-1pm, 2pm-5pm and 7pm-10pm. And I just dont have privacy within those time frames. So its hard.
I have my new glasses and I am very happy with them. They look kinda nice on me and I can actually SEE clearly again! 👀🌸 I will see if I can post a picture of them, and my old ones too. Hang on while I go take a pic. Different colour, different shape ... but happy with them.
