rough time

[Former-Member]

Not a problem @outlander . I'm just really sorry to hear a little of what was going on for you last night. Thank goodness you found a way through.

Certainly sounds like a good idea to try to get some sort of idea or commitment from your dental team. Surely if you explain your carers role and your need to make alternative arrangements for your pop in your absence, they should be able to give some surety. Especially when you will also need to make travel and accommodation bookings. Worth trying at any rate.

The handyman/gardener is a lovely middle aged fellow. Hard working and is willing and able to do just about anything related to home and garden maintenance. He got so much done. Its great. If I need anything more done, I would have no problem getting him back.

Thanks, yes I got some sleep last night, though disrupted. And I even got into town for my pilates class. I had added incentive to do so - needed bread, milk and a script for hubby. So I did that on my way in.

How did your day finish up? I read in todays Community Wrap about your commendation for one of your many supportive posts on the carers forum. Well done, it was a much deserved recognition of the support you provide to others here.

thank you @Former-Member

yes i think ill contact them possibly early next week or end of this one as then it wouldve been 3 months since ive heard from them. they know of my carers role and how much planning kinda needs to be done but in a way its not their fault, the have to treat th emergent patients/those on the list before me first so im trying my best to be patient....


your day sounds nice and productive. im glad you were able to get some sleep and also go to pilates too.


aw thanks


i started to get some strange feelings more mentally and the pain was getting a little tiring but i decided to get out some pencils and do some drawing tonight after dinner. im partway through a sunflower but im not up for doing any more tonight

[Former-Member]

Very well done for getting the pencils out and commencing a sunflower. Such happy bright flowers ... a great choice. I hope you will post a pic online here or the art thread once you finish it @outlander . 

I always find doing some drawing or other art to be very distracting. I become totally engrossed. Do you find that too?

[outlander]

i probably will providing not to many people here see it first @Former-Member will put it away though so i can. its been over 6 months since ive picked up a pencil 😯
yes i do find that, thats why i liked the crochetting to and im in the midst of making yet another blanket for pops bed but i wanted a change tonight.

do you draw/paint/ other arts and crafts? youve probably told me.. but i cant remember sorry..

[Former-Member]

Yes @outlander  I dabble in a bit of art, mainly coloured pencils. Im not very good, but enjoy it anyway. If you have a look in my profile, there are a few pics amongst other photos, of my attempts at art.

Im very tired now and my night time meds have hit me. Making me dizzy. Best head to bed. Good night sweet pea.

As long as your enjoy it @Former-Member thats what matters.
Goodnight sleep well ❤


@Sans911 i will still be up for a while theres no pressure to talk but im here if you do or im more than ok to sit with you for a while. Hugs and hugs 💜

[Sans911]

I'm just busy unpacking, packing, loading, cleaning. Feeling overwhelmed with everything I have to do by myself @outlander. Just lots of mixed up feelings atm with the move. For once, it's hard for me to talk about it. I'm sorry not ignoring you just under lots of pressure and exhausted. Lil Sis 💕💕💕💕

[outlander]

Its ok you dont have to talk if you cant/arent up for it. Just been abit worried about you since your unusually queit but still good to see your likes popping up.
I would help you if i could. Movings bloody hard work.
If itll help you can come sit with me ( or i can come to you) and take a breather for a little while.

Please come and sit with me lil Sis @outlander. I'm unpacking one more box then calling it quits for the night. I've been on the edge of tears for two days, but I don't have time to cry. It's not going to get things done. But I miss you so please come sit with me.

Jasper is by the sliding door as I've got the door back to let the breeze through the screen. Mr A is under the bed, but I can only see a bit of his tail and legs. They could probably do with some company.

[outlander]

Ok ill come to you @Sans911
Ill keep the boys company while you unpack the last box and then i have plenty of squishy embracing lil sis hugs for you if you would like.
