Hello @Healandlove . I haven't watched them for ages now, it's been a good few years that's for sure. 

I'm tired and today's been a bit all over the place. But it's bedtime now and I'm trying to find the motivation to do some colouring. 

Relaxing listening to music is always good. I'm glad you are able to recognise that it's nothing to do with you, that's such a strength. And good on you for filling your cup with things that you enjoy. 

I hope you enjoy the rest of your night 😊

@Gremlin24 thank you my friend. 

My husband has just apologised for being in such a bad mood today and we had a good chat. He has cptsd and so his go to is always that everyone is against him so I reminded him that wd are in the same team. 

Colouring is always a lovely thing yo do and so relaxing. The other thing that I found out csn be very relaxing is doing calligraphy...just focusing on something can be a for of meditation.

Are you home now?

[Gremlin24]

@Healandlove I'm glad he apologised, I know it can be hard to remember that some people do care and it sounds like he had a hard day. He is lucky to have you and the you are understanding and there to support him. 

I can't do calligraphy, I have tried but it just doesn't work 😂. I'm just sitting here staring at my picture and my pens and I don't know what's really stopping me. 

Yeah I'm home. 

[Healandlove]

@Gremlin24 don't overthink it..just start with one colour and the rest will follow. What picture are you colouring tonight. 

Yes I was happy he apologised.  In the past he wouldn't have so I guess that's progress.

It's good you are home. Are you feeling more settled these days?

One day at a time lovely.

@Healandlove it's a picture of mandalas tangled in with each other. Making sense of some sections is a challenge. I have to overthink it otherwise colours could clash or touch each other and that's just not ok 😂.

Sounds like good progress to me. 

Being home is nice yes but I'm about to be homeless in less than a month. So feeling settled at the moment isn't really happening. But I'm trying to live minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day. 

Trying to remember to breathe through the hard moments and accept that it's ok to feel that sometimes things are just all a bit much but it's not the end just a moment in time to get through.

@Gremlin24 I love the “colours could clash or touch each other and that's just not ok 😂.”

It’s funny because it’s true 😂🤣

[Gremlin24]

@Glisten oh it's so very true. When it happens I get so frustrated and almost rip pictures to shreds over it 😂. I sit there and think why didn't I pay attention to that first, what was i thinking, oh wait I wasn't thinking. A few curse words might be used in the heat of the moment 😂. 

[Glisten]

Grems @Gremlin24 you just described me building this bedhead.

One hole for a dowel rod was 3mm out of line. I calmly filled the hole in and went outside for 3 hours, picking up dead branches.

Oh well try again tomorrow.

[Gremlin24]

@Glisten oh that sucks. At least it can be fixed as much as it's frustrating. 

Tomorrow is a new day 😊. 

I've finally done a couple of bits of my colouring but I'm just not feeling it tonight.

[Glisten]

I totally know that feeling of, not feeling it. @Gremlin24 

Movie?

I might have to watch SG1 again, out of sheer desperation.

There is 0 anything new to watch.
