Re: Trying to stay Sane

Would love to visit PM too @Anastasia @Emelia8 Passed through there many, many years ago on our way from Brisbane to Sydney and always wanted to go back. Cairns is on my list presently to visit first with a side trip to Kuranda to the Butterfly Sanctuary 🦋😁👍

Re: Trying to stay Sane

Oh Em I understand👂👀🌹🤗💐

One day, not sure when, but will I be there 100% in spirit with you xox I love lighthouses so I have added the one below to my bucket list, thank you 💞

 

I am the same with my hair. It is funny isn't it. For me it's about having to wash it. It's so fine I try to wash it as little as possible. I have it chemically straightened about twice a year and am very aware that the more I do to it, wash it the less time I get out of the straightening treatment. I use dry shampoo in between washes and it works a treat. Hmmmm must get some more as I have run out. 

 

My boys carer is now in a covid area so he couldn't come today. Pretty big impact on my boy as we don't know when his carer can come back now. More happening but I can't share as I know will upset some and can't deal with that so keep him in your prayers please Em for me. He's safe for now and I am reminded even more so about how precious he is and how thankful I have my bf. Sorry it's cryptic. 

 

Dinner is on tomorrow I'm so emotionally charged today just thinking bout it. Going to try really really hard to stop overthinking and just enjoy the special night with them.

 

Going to go and help S2 hang some pictures we bought him for Christmas. They should add some character to his room and make it more special for him. ✔️

 

I did the vacuuming, washed floors, some weeding and added some mulch where the weeds poked through. Overall a pretty productive day. Sadly my washing machine has packed it in so waiting on hearing back from a technician. I wash most days so there is already a lot. S2 is wishing he hadn't left his for days and days. Lol maybe a lesson learned? I'm going to handwash his new shirt as he wants to wear it tomorrow. 

I also need to soak my hands as I didn't wear gloves gardening so my nails are black and they are far from attractive. I am trying so hard to stop buying them but every night I find myself unable to stop. Arghhh. 

What have you spent your day doing today @Emelia8 , something nice I hope? 

 

Hello also to @WIP @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Zoe7 @Eve7 🌹💐🌷🌸🦋

Re: Trying to stay Sane

Yes of course I want to go to the Butterfly Sanctuary @Emelia8 lol It is actually the main reason I want to go to Cairns. I would only go for a few days - 'cos I couldn't leave my babies for longer than that - but that will be a fair way off ...have to catch up and begin to save this year 👍

 

Love the rainbow butterfly 🦋😁💖

 

@Anastasia OMG you have done more than me today - and I thought I had been flat out Smiley Tongue Well done on getting so much done but a bugger about your washing machine Smiley Sad

 

I hope dinner tomorrow is amazing for you all and that your boy is okay Heart

Re: Trying to stay Sane

Yes I figured you'd understand @Anastasia 🤗💞👍  There are worse places to have to spend time though, so I'm not complaining.

 

Oh dear, thats not at all good about your sons carer.  I saw the news conference about the COVID numbers in NSW this morning and the resultant increased restrictions.  Not at all good is it? Big concerns all round. So sorry its affected your Boy as badly as it has.  Of course I feel very sad for him, but equally so for you because you have to deal with the fallout and consequences. Such a concern for you ... I pray that he will be okay through this time.  Damn .. just when things were looking up for him too, with the NDIS all sorted and everything.  Really hope his carer is not kept isolated to his area for too long.

 

Not a problem with being cryptic, I understand the need to be.  At least it sounds as though your BF is being supportive and I am very happy that he is there for you.

 

I thought of you and your dinner out when hearing the NSW COVID numbers this morning.  Its such a tough one for you and I can understand your overthinking around it all.  Of course it will be a special night for all of you, and I really hope you can allow yourself to relax a little and enjoy the dinner as much as you possibly can.  It will especially be a lovely and memorable night for your Dad.  Whatever happens, it will be worth it, so go all out to make it very special.

 

You have been very productive today with your enforced home stay ... well done.  Shame about the washing machine.  Seems its the time for home equipment breakdowns around Christmas.  Why ever is that I wonder?

 

Hope you are able to bring those nails up to scratch in time for tomorrows big night! 

 

Today I have done a load of clothes washing.  Not dry yet though ... no breeze at all, and then rain came through. All dishes washed and put away though.  Thank goodness for hot water!

 

I had to go into town today to the chemist to pick up hubbys meds and dropped into the fishing coop to get some fresh fish for dinner.  Plus a quick trip to the supermarket for milk, bread, fruit, green veges, salad ingredients, etc. 

 

I also phoned my GP practice as I had an apt with my GP on 25th Jan.  Needed to change it due to my radiation therapy starting on 12th January. They made the appointment for me before I knew when my radiation was to start. So I've rescheduled for the second week of Feb now. My radiation is due to finish on 4th Feb. 

 

And I rang and had a good long talk to my Dad this afternoon. Feeling very unsure about my hoped for visit there next week. I told Dad that I have not yet made up my mind about going.  

 

I hope your Son is okay, and remains so.

 

Emelia 🤗💞
