Hi @Mazarita @Appleblossom@Shaz51 @outlander @PeppiPatty @Sophia1@Bunniekins @Faith-and-Hope @Exoplanet and anyone else here who I've missed tagging.
Another early night with several breaks in sleep, but a total of 9 hours. Feeling a little more awake here than the last couple of days. Thanks for the twin comment @Sophia1 - after nearly 4 years connected here it still amazes me sometimes how much @Mazarita and I have in common. But enough differences to keep things interesting too.
Hoping to find the impetus to start pre-planning for my plan meeting with NDIS today - don't have a date for it yet but it should be early July. Spoke to my disability advocate yesterday and she thinks a pre-planning meeting with her and sil is a good idea so that should happen at the start of July when sil isn't so busy.
Sil's exhibition opens on Friday this week and there'll be lots of friends and family around from out of town for a couple of weeks. Treading on egg shells around her the last day or two - she had a major blow out of low confidence in what she's spent the last 7 months painting the night before last with bro (he told me about it) and I really don't want to bring her any extra stress. I'll be cooking some chocolate hazelnut cakes for the opening.
@PeppiPatty I say go for it with the study too.
Hope today is off to a gentle start for you all. Going to read the last few pages and catch up a bit now.

Good morning, @eth.
No need to reply immediately, as you are reading. Just leaving this message before I try to get some sleep in the armchair before midday, when I need to start getting ready for my afternoon hospital appointment. It's going to take an hour to get there on the bus and by foot.
A lot going on around you in tangible and emotional ways. So good that you are considerate of sil's needs in this scary time for her. Chocolate hazelnut cakes sound good. The start of July is not that far away. Seems reasonable to get into preparation for it now. I hope there will be time to relax for you too.
Interesting that you've just come back from a holiday that saw you in more social contact than usual. And soon there will be more people around. Perhaps this is your time for stretching the boundaries.
I've been up all night again. I seem to be doing it every 2-3 days. It is what it is.
Good morning, @outlander

Hey @Mazarita Hope you get some sleep or at least good solid rest this morning. Nice to hear from you as always.

Thanks, @eth. Haven't quite made it to the chair yet though. It will happen soon though, I think. I may get a few hours in yet.

p.s. @eth, @outlander, if I suddenly stop posting, it's because I've fallen into the armchair to get some sleep. I am pretty tired and can see it might happen suddenly.

Still here but getting ready to move to the armchair, @eth. Grabbed a little blanket to throw over my legs. My big fluffy dressing gown will keep me warm elsewhere. I can even wrap it around my neck so the chill doesn't get in there. And with that, I'm heading off there now. Good to see you this morning if only briefly. Hope your day is productive and also chilled at times. ox
