Hi @Faith-and-Hope Thanks for your Tag.

Not quite sure what you meant.

I'm around alright - but in severe Brain Fog (using your own Terminology/ Word).

My Term/ Word for it is Brain Gone or Zombie-Like.

I've been seriously overstretched with stressful events & many unexpected major adjustments- Over these past few weeks (at least).

That means -

1) Continuous Overwhelm

2) Not Sleeping or little Sleep every night (past several weeks)

3) Much worse Dissociation (Trauma Response) - Which is Brain Fog or Zombie--Like.

Despite this- I have achieved some Major Problem-Solving Successes:

1) Worked out how to Fix/ Replace Broken Car Brake Light Globe myself (Very Tricky).

2) Bypassed having No Wi-Fi Internet (No Forum access) (Blocked out of my own WiFi Internet) - Bought Ethernet Cables to Restore/ reconnect Internet manually.

3) Then got Wi-Fi Internet issue Fixed (WiFi Back on) by Phone Company.

4) Decluttered Kitchen Cupboards - Shifted stuff around.

Cooked up several Kgs of pasta & Dried Beans/ Legumes - To free up Shelf Space - & To have something to eat (Was running out of food).

Ate some & Froze the rest for later..

5) Repaired/ Tried to Save Dad's Reticulation Polypipe Watering System (he made it for me for my 40th Birthday) - It's one of the few Reminders/ Momentoes of Dad that I have left (Dad died).

5) Drove 106 Km For a Date (to meet a Lady) - My 1st Date in Quite a long time.

No I cannot Drive that far again (not often) - Was far too far away, too much.

Almost collapsed in transit (or soon after arriving home).

Happy to drive that far (106 Km) Once Only.

Am trying to connect More with everyone on Forums - Which has been Very tough- Considering major changes in Jobsearch Providers & Requirements (Unemployment Mutual Obligation Demands/ Stipulations) in the past 2 weeks.

I need to Relax More, Do something fun for a Nice Change - I've been pushing myself far too hard for several weeks At Least - Just trying to deal with all these Major Changes, equipment Breakdowns & urgent Repairs that have been happening.

So Far I am Successful - I'm Getting it all Done Small Bit at a Time....

😀🙈🙉🙊
