No Easter eggs for me @Owlunar I don't buy them for myself and didn't get any for anyone else this year because of the restrictions. Mum may have bought some but I didn't see her yesterday. I am going to visit her later in the week though.
Hope you have a better day today

Look at all those eggs @Owlunar
we have lots of little ones. Little A was spoilt I bought her a one piece pjs for winter. So soft and snuggly.
I'm sorry you weren't great yesterday but happy to read you're better today.
thanks for your kind wishes xxx

Aw @Zoe7
No Easter Eggs - no chockie for Easter - do you mind if I eat my Easter Egg with you in mind
I ate all the little ones but still have the bigger egg - my daughter and I exchanged Easter gifts standing well apart - at least I saw her - she and my grand-daughter don't eat sweet food some I give them something else they like and my grand-daughter lives interstate now - and I was going to see her in July but not this year obviously -
I am glad you will be seeing your Mum later in the week - we can talk to people using different kinds of media but seeing them is better - maybe we will appreciate person to person visits more in the future we can't see yet.
Because of my memories of a bad Easter a long time ago I find it a difficult time of year - I gave mym grief the time it deserves - it wasn't long and I feel okay today - our lives - whatever they are - go on
All the best Zoe

Sending Easter Egg thoughts

You are most welcome in thinking of me when you eat your Easter eggs @Owlunar I am not a huge chocolate eater anyway so I really don't miss not having any eggs. I like savoury things more than sweet.
I now have to go to Bunnings on Wednesday so I might keep going and see Mum and Dad then. I'll take Tobes with me of course so he can have a run around in their large backyard with one of their dogs. They have 3 but he only really likes one of them - he is a much bigger dog and it is cute watching Tobes try to keep up with him running around the yard together - they get on extremely well.

Hi Hamza
I wrote somewhere that not all days are coloured pink - that goes for Easter days too - I'm sorry you are having a downer - maybe like me you have a bad Easter in your past that tends to want to have a say - se la vie - that's life
Take care of yourself today - tomorrow will be different - go with the flow and - you know what they say - try and do something nice for yourself. I often wonder about that statement - yesterday I did some of my jigsaw - it's a large one - and I watched a movie that was a heart-toucher - and eventually cooked some dinner late in the day - to me being kind to myself is just letting time past whatever colour the day is

Hi @BlueBay
This is not good
I'm not saying your doctor is wrong but I would say yes to asthma and stress but I have had pleurisy and going to work tomorrow wouldn't even be a question - I was too sick to get out of bed and my kids were 4 and 6 then and my husband had to stay home from work to look after them.
Did you see your doctor? If you have a pain in your chest that hurts when you cough it could be pleurisy but you would be feeling worse I think - maybe the thought of starting a new job tomorrow is causing your breathing to be difficult - try sitting in a comfortable chair and breathing in slowly counting to three slowing, holding your breath for a similar count of three then letting it go at the same pace and keep this going for a while and see if it helps. It you feel less stressful or at least more comfortable keep going
If the pain in your chest continues or gets worse - yes - ring your doctor
I think if you took a poll nearly everyone finds starting a new job stressful - me too - we don't know what to expect - what will we be asked to do? Will be people be nice to us? Is the boss reasonable? What is the place like? All these questions and more buzzing around in your head.
Remember you can always leave if it gets too much - though you want the job I know
I undertand - I get it - and I thought a lot about the best you did about your marriage a couple of days back - I won't reply yet - I will give you the time to settle into your job - after all - things at home will not change in a hurry
Take it easy today - you've been battling lately
Dec
Yes - lots of Easter Eggs - I still have one left in my fridge
