Live and learn @Captain24 ?
Perhaps the last few months have been such a blur anyway...
You may see the pit from a new angle! lol
For the next few days, I've got a lot of paper work to do. So much catching up on the admin side of life. I'm also going to spend more time with the kids. I haven't really spent much time with them the last week. Tonight they went to a friend's house and only came home about an hour ago. So I didn't see them. They are in bed now because they have school tomorrow.

It’s been a roller coaster, that’s for sure @tyme. I was so close to not making it. If it wasn’t for the hospital stay and you guys I’m not sure I would have.
The kids next door are out playing and hitting the fence and all Pixie is doing is barking. They should be in bed!
Im glad you can spend some time with the kids. I know how much you love them. I hope you can get the admin stuff done during school hours.

The kids are STILL playing? It's all dark now!
I thought your place was quite spread out from neighbours. @Captain24
To be honest, I'm so glad you pulled through. We know you were tethering between life and death. Yet you were willing to give things a try. That's what pulled you through.

They have just gone inside @tyme.
Not that spread out. There is probably 15m from their house to mine but the fence is only a couple of metres.
It was my last option but I guess it went well. I now have hope and a little sense of self worth and a little more confidence.
I didn’t want to admit to how bad it was. But now I don’t need to. I know the help
is out there and that they will willing take me at anytime. It’s just work that is my issue.

I'm so glad you have experienced what it's like to get help @Captain24
I'm not going to say 'told you so'. It's something each of us have to experience for ourselves. I'm just so glad you did it 🙂
I'm off now, but I'll catch you because you return to work.
Have a good evening.

It’s meant to be equal parts @NatureLover. I need to find some connection though. Just don’t know how or where.
