Am Not Coping

Re: Am Not Coping

I have taken myself out for breakfast this morning ....., I woke up wanting scrambled eggs on toast .... actually I woke up ages ago and lay there hungry, but feeling too tired in the moment to get up and do anything about it ..... so the thought of scrambled eggs sorta grew out of that situation I think ......

You did need a distracting f&h story to his morning, didn’t you ..... ?! Lol

So I am sitting here in a coffee shop having downed some lovely scrambled eggs ..... but there are all these joggers running past the window ..... and while I love the outlook towards a city-scape, it’s just too hard to watch this with all the resonance of my mr, and the same sort of looks, movements, etc ...... but thankfully there are popcorn birds flopping themselves everywhere too ..... so that is both taking the edge off, and reminding me of you ......

Think I will have to take an inside-facing seat at this time of day, which is okay, because popcorn birds are no respecters of doorways .... LOL 😂

I love distracting F&H stories Hon Smiley Very Happy

I can see why you may need to adjust your seating arrangements in the morning - must be soooo hard to see those joggers and not feel sad about Mr. Smiley Sad

I am glad the popcorn birds are distracting for you (and make you think of me Smiley Very Happy)

Hearing the birds in the morning used to be a big trigger for me but it is becoming more and more about thinking of you and the popcorn birds - and that is a really good thing for me @Faith-and-Hope Heart

That has made my day @Zoe7 ..... 🤗💕

Re: Am Not Coping

I am pleased @Faith-and-Hope - I told you a miracle happened the day we 'met' - so much positivity has come out of our friendship here Hon Heart

Re: Am Not Coping

I feel the same @Zoe7 ..... from you, and others here ..... I have been so warmed by the open-hearted acceptance and walking along with me, despite how different our circumstances are ..... and well ..... I am an honorary aunt to Cat too now .... lol ......

Thank you so much @Zoe7 for being here for me, and so many others whose lives you touch with sweetness and sage advice ......

Re: Am Not Coping

Enjoy watching your popcorn birds and I'll catch up with you again later - love ya Hon Heart

Re: Am Not Coping

Re: Am Not Coping

Morning @Zoe7 hope you get what you want to do done today

Re: Am Not Coping

Hi @Zoe7 did you manage to get some tidying done

Re: Am Not Coping

@Faith-and-Hope @Pepsimax I have only managed to tidy the loungeroom and kitchen a little and moved a couple of rocks in the garden. I sat down for a rest and fell asleep - for nearly 3 hours!!!

It is already getting dark here so I won't be able to do much more now Smiley Frustrated

How has both of your days been so far?
