Am Not Coping

Thanks @Snowie. Was good to go and be supported by people who understand.

Glad you have got clear direction with the painting @Zoe7 ..... it does make a difference.  I think it’s coming along so beautifully .... and the real thing will “sing” in a way the posted image can only hint at .....

Hi everybody .... 👋

Got the kids out of the house tonight ...... 🎉 ..... we went to a musical performance.

@Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7 Good morning to you both, I hope their is some goodness in your day 

Hi to anyone else who passes through here.

[Faith-and-Hope]

Good morning @Snowie @Zoe7 @utopia ..... anyone else about ......

I have had an uncharacteristicly late start this morning ..... and the kids weren’t up when I left the house (D2 was, but I meant the others). We have obviously had a bit of a spin-out as a result of actually getting out somewhere as a family last night ..... wow, wasn’t expecting that ..... but I was still awake at 2am, and the kids were too ..... S2 not going to class today citing that his sleep
has gone out of whack again, but methinks it’s to do with the 2nd assignment having been submitted late and the learning support facility not being in place for him yet ...... all a bit emotionally overloading.

Hope y’all are okay today and had an okay night ......

❤️

So pleased you made it to your AA meeting @utopia and got support from people who know what you are going through  I am more pleased that you resisted the urge to drink on the weekend and knew you needed that support - wtg my beautiful cocky friend

I needed some time out last night - a few things happened all at once including Toby catching his toe on something and his little toe nail had a lot of red stuff coming from it - then my IBS was really bad and I couldn't do anything but ride out the pain. I did get some sleep in between the waves of pain - still not feeling great but much better than last night. 

I am going to try to do some painting today but will depend on how motivated I feel - don't have that motivation this morning with the residual pain and tiredness from last night but hoping I will have later today.

I hope everyone else is doing ok today and can find moments of light in their day

Hugs @Zoe7 ...... 💐💚🦋💕 ......

S2 is getting himself 'togeher' slowly @Faith-and-Hope and it is expected that he will have days like these - especially after a late night. A combination of getting his assignment in late and the late night will both contribute to him not feeling like going to uni today... once he sits with those feeling for a while I am sure he will get back into the swing of things Hon 

I hope you had a good night however suprising it was to be going as a family...

@Zoe7. Thanks.
IBS is so painful. I know. Riding it out is all you can do unfortunately. But you made it through.
Poor Toby. Is he okay this morning?
@Faith-and-Hope. Sounds like you all needed a big sleep in this morning.

IBS is painful - I've fainted quite a few times with the severity of the pain @utopia - too painful to move at times last night! Toby is ok today - it doesn't seem to be bothering him as much - but it must have been really sore last night because he growled when I would try to look at his foot a few times. I bathed it with some salt water a couple of times so hopefully that has also cleaned out any dirt and it will heal quickly. He slept very close to me most of the night - he did finally go to his bed but it was very late!

[Faith-and-Hope]

I am out and about today, but will be doing drop-ins here.

I hope Toby’s foot heals quickly and well @Zoe7 .....

We are still going to be operating in a bit of a shell-shocked state @utopia, no matter what happens moving forward, but at least it does feel like we are moving forward ...... the wobbliness goes with the territory. So grateful for the learning support system here and the difference that will make to the kids getting back on their feet.
