Am Not Coping

All good @Zoe7
Hope you have a better day 💙💚❤💕

@Former-Member ...and I was doing so well in holding back the tears until now 

That is so very lovely of you to say - I really don't have any more words in response...

I'll just have to give you a few pieces of my heart instead....

Wish I had been able to hold you through the night @Zoe7 but sleep was essential for me last night. A 6th night with little to no sleep would have been pushing the boundaries too far.

I'm hoping that you're getting a little bit of shut-eye now. If you don't answer I'll know you're cracking out Zeds with Toby snuggled up beside you 😀😙😪😪😪🎶💕

[Zoe7]

Nope @Kurra still awake and thanks to @Former-Member a few tears!!!

I wish I had been able to be at the party last night - I love a good virtual party!!!!!

Sleep is important (says I who doesn't get much either lol) so I am really glad that you didn't hold my hand and looked after yourself first  I'm sure I still felt a gentle touch every now and then that reminded me you were there in spirit 

Toby is asleep - guess where...........next to me as always.

@Former-Member What are you going to do today that is JUST FOR YOU? 

[Zoe7]

Morning everyone. I just realised that today is my 3 month anniversary - something to celebrate maybe!! I have survived 3 whole months with all you guys on the forum - not sure how (seems more like 3 years lol)....

@Zoe7

You mentioned how important visual art has been for you. I know art supplies can be poisonously expensive with two daughters practicing in the field.

One is in academia and the other takes any old job to fund her art for the next exhibition. Is there any way that you could increase the amount of time doing your art works until you get back in the classroom?

I know that my music is my saviour. If I stay away from it too long I lose some part of my body (figuratively). Once I pick up my instrument and start to actively engage in the music world my whole outlook on life changes and my body becomes whole again.

Hugzzz 💕 🎶 💕

You made me smile @Zoe7
We do understand each other. Thankyou. You have been so supportive to me couldn't have gone through some days without that beautiful butterfly.
Have a nice gentle day beautiful

That was the plan a while ago @Kurra until I fell back a bit this last few days. I did sort out my spare room enough last week to make a space and I pulled out the canvas early this morning and started on the Stepping Stone image that @Faith-and-Hope and I are both going to paint. I also have another painting that I want to start (actually a series of 3) when I finish the first one. 

Was also talking to @Former-Member about a mosaic design I have for outdoor table but space is an issue with that one - might just need to set it up in the loungeroom where there is more space - could be an option!!!

I think (actually I know) that not having my day of teaching Art at school I am really going to miss when I go back, and there are a few other things I do with the kids (Arty wise) that I can't really talk about here (anonymity) that I won't be able to do either - and that is going to be really hard.

I will very gladly accept those pieces of your lovely heart thanks @Zoe7 and send you some of mine in return 💛💚💛💚 (green - my favourite colour and yellow because it's sunshiney!).

Is Toby a four legged friend? My two four legged friends (cats) are less the 'snuggle up to you' kind and more the 'attempt to scale windows and get stuck waking you up at silly o'clock kind'. Not as soothing as a snuggle type but definitely fun!

Hope they're helpful tears (and sorry if they're not)!
