Ridiculously hard to get eggs @tyme so I grabbed them today when I was out.
Im sorry you’ve still have shingles, so painful for you. Hope it goes away soon.

@creative_writer you are so right with putting boundaries in place with toxic people, regardless of whether they are family or not. I do think it helps with our mental health.
I could email my pdoc if needed. I will try just reading it out loud first.
@tyme I stuffed up last night. Well others would call it stuffing up, I would call it failing. Anyway, can't change it now.
How are you going? Are you still in pain?

Hard to get at the moment.

After the cyclone last week with no milk I thought I’d have to buy a cow and a couple of chooks for milk and eggs! I know, such a first world problem @Snowie

oh @Eve7 I can only imagine how empty the shelves would have been where you live with the cyclone. Hopefully they can be restocked quickly.
It's normally the essentials that go first.

I haven't seen eggs in MONTHs! So earlier this week, I saw a few cartons and I bought 4! I love eating eggs @Eve7 @Snowie @creative_writer .
Yes, the shingles rash is still sore. It's burning actually. Hope it goes away soon. I was a bit annoyed because I wanted to go for a swim yesterday, but supposedly I'm not supposed with swim in the pool with shingles, esp since the little one hasn't had chicken pox before.
I went for a walk with the little one yesterday. She looked at me and said, "Do you still have popcorns?" (chicken pox/shingles). I laughed so much.
Hugs @Snowie . I'm glad you are here. I'm sorry it's just so so hard. I know you are coping the best way you can right now. Please be safe.

Haha @tyme "popcorns"
I love kids, they come out with so many good one liners.
I hope the rash clears soon for you. Did they say how long it would take?
Hopefully the little one's have had a vaccine against chicken pox.
@creative_writer I think setting boundaries is such an important thing to do, even if other don't accept it. They might not agree to them, but you need to put you first and what helps you the best.
I'm sorry I have to go. Read something that triggered me.
Bye

Sorry @Snowie , hope you are okay. Please reach out if you don't feel safe.
@creative_writer , yes, boundaries are so important. I guess it's about speaking out when you feel people are overstepping the line?
