Am Not Coping

[Zoe7]

Hey @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51  

Sorry I missed you earlier @Shaz51 Hope you have had a relaxing afternoon.

I have managed to do the vacuuming and ironing. Need to finish cleaning the kitchen and put a load of washing on but that can wait until later.

My sister dropped around which was nice. It is her partner's birthday this week so she gave me something to give him - that was super sweet because he is really hard to buy for. We will probably go out for dinner on his birthday and I am actually looking forward to it 

Toby and Cat have been fed - Cat is outside and Toby is playing with his toys. It won't be long though before he is asleep again lol

That’s sounding like a good day @Zoe7 ..... you’re making my heart sing ❤️🤗

[Zoe7]

It has been a good day @Faith-and-Hope If I can get the kitchen cleaned that will make it even better. How has your day been?

[Faith-and-Hope]

Its been good too @Zoe7 .... endless sorting of mixed packs of beads into different containers tho.  I have things I want to make, but this part has to happen first, and it can’t be rushed .... so I am enjoying it, but also wanting to get to the next part ..... lol

haha @Faith-and-Hope That is what you have a class of kids for - to sort beads into their selective spots. We did them by size, by colour, by type etc. and even used them as counters lol The kids loved sorting them and loved making things out of them.

The footy match is getting boring now - it is a big margin and I have lost interest. Waiting now for the WC - Collingwood match tonight - might have pizza for dinner but then I'd have to go out and don't really want to do that (won't get it delivered because I won't pay the extra lol)

Would love to see an image of what you make when you finally get around to it

@Zoe7missing you hun and chatting to you. Seems like we keep missing each other. Hope you are going ok. 

Hi @Faith-and-Hope, hope all is ok with you too. 

[Zoe7]

I have been missing chatting to you too @Snowie 

Between you and @Faith-and-Hope not being here much lately it has been a bit lonely - so have had to distract myself in other ways - good thing it is footy finals time and I have had that to watch. I have also been giving you a bit of space as it has been pretty tough for you lately and knew you would be back when you felt you could. I know that sometimes we need a break from others even if we need the support - it is a very fine line sometimes with what we need and what we can deal with.

I am still having moments where I particularly miss people that have left here - losing those supports has really hit me hard - but I also need to remember they have moved on to bigger and better adventures - still very hard though. I am getting there - waiting to hear about my volunteering at work too but I know the Principal suffered a bereavement last week so I haven't been in touch with her again. If I don't hear anything Monday morning then I will go in to see her as I would really like to start this week - that would give me 3 weeks before the end of term and then the 2 weeks off of the holidays - I should be able to know in that time frame what I can cope with - fingers crossed it all goes as I hope.

@Zoe7you are never far from my thoughts hun. It has been hard on here lately with some people leaving, especially when you get close to them through HC.   

Hoping you hear about the volunteer work early next week. Would be great if you could start it soon. Would give you a good gauge of how you would cope when you return to work.

Things have been a bit up and down lately. Hoping they settle down quickly as I can never gauge what sort of day it will be.
