@CheerBear Hi there. I thought of you when I got up this morning, and wished some little wishes, though I know that isn't at all helpful. Sometimes all you can do is let someone know you are thinking of them. 🌺🌷

@CheerBear I've just finished watering my garden, ready for the big heat. It's already 21 here, really unusual, headed for 34. Golly gosh, this is the biggest heatwave I've experienced here in Tassie.
Im glad you caught those wishes, and I'm hopeing some small smiles come your way today.
Coffee time here.

The heat can hard @Maggie! Has it been humid there? We get hot days in summer but not usually with high humidity. It's forecast for around 40 with over 70% humidity today. I'm not loving the sweaty, sticky, thick air this summer :S .
Hope your garden is coping ok. I will water my pot plants which is all that is slightly holding on through this sun, after I finish my coffee. Coffee definitely came first for me this morning 😉
Edit to add good morning to @frog and sending you rain wishes. Hope your garden is going well also 🙂

@CheerBear Definately humid this morning, unusual for here. 40 OMG, that's just so hot.
Enjoy your coffee before LF wake up. Hope the flood is manageable.
@frog Promises of rain here also come to nothing, tomorrow rain is forcast, we need it, the state is burnt and dry. Stay cool if you can.

Thanks @Maggie ☺ It's the quiet before the LF storm!
I was reading through The Mighty yesterday and found a story, not long after you posted a quote about saying "I'm fine". It's titled 26 things people with MI mean when they say "I'm tired". I found it helpful to read words that "I'm tired" can mean to me sometimes, that I wouldn't necessarily say to many. I'm not sure if it's something that you'd want to read but I'll link it just in case, as it kind of goes with the "I'm fine" thing. If you're interested it's here (and totally ok if you're not or you don't want to read ☺)
Better start tackling a flood (it's all mopped up now but we can't use the cupboard anymore and I'm thinking it will be water again the moment I use the sink to wash the dishes. Big grrrr). Dish by dish is how I will do this - one tiny moment at a time. While I look for and hope to find a wand 😉
You brightened my morning, thank you. Hope you stay cool today too 💗

@CheerBear Thanks, I just read through the quotes. Humm, scary stuff, I'm always fine, fighting back tears at the same time. MI is cruel. I wonder what fine actually feels like!!!!. Anyway, hope your flood is deminishing, and your day has a smile or two or three.
