Eating Disorder

It's the cumulative effect I worry about @Faith-and-Hope  But so long as you are mindful of it, that's ok then. 🙂

I'm feeling the accumulative effects of it at the moment @Sppokytookims, and exploring ways to disperse it as much as I can ....

Just so weary. I'm doing the bare minimum beyond resting, bearing in mind that once WH is back I am going to have to have an alternative to doing that, but the fact that his jogs take him out of the house for six hours a day, with time at his mums after the first 5km of each run, and then he's in the gym for another hour, and goes shopping for his foods and what-not .... there will be time that he's not around where I can take breaks.

I am saving myself up to prepare Eadter fare across the back end of this week, and start my next major painting the week after, which will absorb and hopefully energise me. My pairing ability has garnered respect from him, and everyone else within the family, so that will give me my own headspace as well. It's like a "do not disturb" sign going up when I start painting with oils now ....

Then he has booked us to go back to Greeece for the Euro summer to see what he has achieved with the apartment, and after kicking up initially, D3 has now agreed to go back with him a couple of weeks ahead of the rest of us. These changes in dynamic help to break up the effects of the e.d. dynamic as well .... I'm just floating on all these tides while we await an outcome ..,, only swimming when I have to.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope, yes I'm back, sorry I've been away (explain on STM). I'm just sympathising with how tough it must be for you this last 8yrs holding the family together virtually on ya own, like a sole parent with a problem x. Thats a hard place. I Hope you didnt have a full blown panic attack and did see a dulphin, or a special flower... or at least felt boosted in spirit from Palm Sunday service (love your palm leaf crosses by the way). .
Just a suggestion - perhaps take D3 to the hairdresser, have her hair tidied up, treated and straightened or something (Celtic hair by the sound of it) while you have a shampoo and massage maybe - bit of positive time together. Hugzz 💜

Thanks @Former-Member ..., glad you're back .... 💕

No Dolphins today, but I have taken myself off to the beach this afternoon .... took a long walk ..... have some gorgeous pics of the surf to share .... and watched the sunset.

This is the third time I have been to this beach in the last three weeks .... and the footprints in the sand reminded me of Footprints In The Sand .... will post that on the Quotes thread later .....

When D3 and I get settled back down properly, I will offer her a trip to the hairdresser .... yes, Celtic curls ..., but she does love them .... has had her hair blow-dried straight before and although it was a novelty for a day or two, I don't think she will want that permanently, although it will make her locks appear longer, but dry them out more too ..... will hand-ball it to her, but it is a good idea as a short-term solution anyway.

D3 cut her own hair - ah ah no!!!

Has she thought about the consequences of her actions? Maybe not - okay there is always the hairdresser

Hang on - mad cat at the front door

Okay she just came in - freezing outside today

Okay again - Celtic curls - I am Anglo-Cetlic - my grandfather had blond curly hair - but he did not hand it down - the only person with curls in his family of - sorry - I'm counting 25 descendents - 28 descendents - only one had curls and that was my adotped son

What happened to my Celtic Curls?
