Re: Far and Away

The guardian of the toilet paper @Shaz51 lol!! 💕 💕 💕

Evening also @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member

Re: Far and Away

@Faith-and-Hope Yes I am tired Hon and sore. Hurt my back again - something so simple as getting things out of the car - just moved the wrong way and that was enough ...so layed down as soon as I fed the fur babies and fell asleep. I have so much to do this weekend though so will need to head to the chemist tomorrow for pain killers to help me get through. I am trying not to let it get to me tonight but there were tears initially Smiley Sad It is certainly not what I needed right now.

 

How are you going Hon? Very much thinking of you a lot too and missing you - but knowing we both have a lot going on ...especially you 💖 How is my niece? Tobes and Cat are well - Tobes has not left my side since I got home so he knows all is not okay - gotta love our fur babies hey 🐶😺💕

 

It has been a really unsettled week with more and more kids away each day. I had 9 away today and one who left early not feeling well ...any sickness at all and the kids are sent home. We have also had staff absent so a lot of unsettled kids with relief teachers. My kids have been great though - I am the only 1/2 teacher that works full-time so I think that helps. It has meant I can get around more of the kids each day ...classes go ahead as normal with whoever we have there but if class sizes reduce more over the coming weeks we will likely combine classes until the end of term. Nothing has been decided as you would expect - it is still a day to day prospect at the moment. @eth 

 

@Shaz51 @Sans911 Hi to you both  💖

Re: Far and Away

Oh no @Zoe7. Not again hun. Get some rest tonight if you can. Tommorow will either be a little better or worse. Have you got a heat pack or something similar?

Re: Far and Away

Yes @Sans911 Had a heat pack on my back most of the evening - it is helping 👍 + the pain killers and laying down ...all has eased the pain a little. Definitely hoping it is better tomorrow and not as bad as I think it is Smiley Sad I do not need to go anywhere this weekend though (apart from the chemist now) and can lay down when I need to - so grateful not at work tomorrow.

 

How are you and your beautiful boys?

Re: Far and Away

I'm so so @Zoe7. It's been an emotional week for me. Very up and down (and around lol). Jasper is a little bit better, but for how long? I'm struggling a lot to know what to do and when. I'm usually not like that. I can often make decisions and be sure about them. But I'm also trying to enjoy extra time with Jasper too, and spoil him a little bit more than usual.

So many of the volunteer work things I do and the training courses for mh or the consults are cancelled or postpostoned so I'm being forced into isolation which many people with mental illness relish but for me it's a dangerous, slippery slope into darkness and depression if I go there. I'm trying to stay focused on doing small things around the house but it's so easy to be apathetic. I'm still very tired so that's not helping either.

Re: Far and Away

Both Jasper and your own isolation are major concerns Hon. Just take each day as it comes - spoil your baby silly and cherish each day with him. It is a very, very hard thing to have to decide when to say goodbye to our babies but I have no doubt when that time does come you will do what is best for Jasper. It is not easy as our fur babies are family and constant comfort - it is incredibly hard for you going through this with him @Sans911 I do feel so much for you Smiley Sad

 

I also very much hear how hard isolation is - so much of your days are filled with things that get you out of the house and occupying your mind and have them all cancelled or postponed is a major setback ...but you will get through because you are strong - lean on us here as much as you need ...it is testing times for so many and together we can help each other through 💖

Re: Far and Away

Thank you for your kindness @Zoe7. I know others are struggling with their mental health in this situation too.

Re: Far and Away

Yes unfortunately there are many struggling at present @Sans911 but that does not make your struggles any less Hon. On the positive side you get to spend more quality time with Jasper so that has to be a bonus Heart

Re: Far and Away

Oh no @Zoe7  .... what rotten luck !!  I am glad it is the weekend and you can rest up ..... hugs n hugs 😔❣️

Nelly is doing the mad cat charge thing all over my room at the moment .....she comes and asks when I am going to bed when I am studying at the desk.

 

Today was a bit of a tough day.  WH is not dealing in the truth with a lot of things - surprise, surprise - and clearly doesn't like being called on it ..... and is being arrogant and rude - surprise, surprise - so I had potato chips for dinner and cleaned some more cupboards out in the kitchen ..... and now lying here awake cos I'm a bit wired.

Re: Far and Away

It's not 3am yet @Faith-and-Hope 😂

I cleaned up my pantry today too. Luckily I found some coffee
