I’ve had a long day with a lot of panic. Not much fun I’m afraid. 

I hope your day is going well. 

@Chasingsunsets  Hello lovely how are you? How were the markets? I hope your day enjoy a good nap! 

@Shaz51  Oooh 3rd! I’m limited to 1. Trying to not make my panic attacks worse. 

How’s the garden? 

Lots of weeds and very wet @Cuddlebear 

Good afternoon @Shaz51 I hope you day is going well and is pleasant.

Watching funny animals videos @Mustang67 , @Cuddlebear , @Cat34 , @Snowie , @Fluttershy1 , @Honeymoon 

Good afternoon @SmilingGecko I ordered a book called Crystals by Cassandra Eason and a Selenite Bowl to store my crystals in. I also ordered some Satya Incense for when I Meditate, Palo Santo Sticks & Sage Sticks for cleansing.

I ordered these crystals just because I love the heart shape. Small Black Banded Agate Heart, Labradorite Small Heart, Small Golden Healer Hearts | Heart of Gold & Small Rose Quartz Hearts | Tender Truth

I am very excited to receive them all.

P.S. I can get carried away when I get excited about something.

My Obsidian cat has arrived as well.

Enjoy @Shaz51 - im playing minecraft 

I am playing words with friends 

@Fluttershy1 , @Mustang67 , @Cuddlebear , @Cat34 , @Snowie 

@Shaz51 @That’s no good. Weeds are annoying. A bit of rain is good but not extreme rain like flooding.

@Shaz51 That's a good way to spend your day. Some of those videos are hilarious.  

I have just been showing my mum the crystals that have recently arrived and about to continue the excel spreadsheets for my mum's bank account. I am up to February, so nearly up to date.

What is words? @Shaz51 

It islike playing scrabble online with other people 

@Mustang67 

Oh ok @Shaz51 I suppose you have to be good at spelling? Not my strong point. Lol

Not really,  you get 7 letters to make any words 

2 or 3 or 4 letter words on the board @Mustang67 

I assume you watched the Crows game last night @GezzaP. I was listening to it on the radio, and I thought with the momentum from the 24 points turn around, that they would easily win. Sadly, it was not so.

👋

hi

i barely follow football anymore, but us winning in adelaide is rare

i didn't watch it, but apparently the umpiring favoured us, and crows deserved the win more than us

Gorgeous photos @Spirit_Healer .

How's school been for you?

Hi @Cuddlebear @Chasingsunsets @MissGremlin @ENKELI @Bunniekins @Shaz51 @heartathome 

How are you all going lately?

Hello @Mustang67 sweet, I'm truly feeling broken today. 

How are you? 

@MissGremlin I assume you are feeling broken because of your housing situation?

I really feel for you, and I feel so sad that there is nothing I can do to help.

@Mustang67 I'm going to tag you over in my thread. 

No problems @MissGremlin 

Morning @Mustang67 thanks for the tag, how’s your weekend going? I’m off to bed now just finished work, just decided to work one random shift. 
Sorry I haven’t been able to catchup with everything yet.

Hiya @Cuddlebear thanks for the check in, how are you lovely? How’s all your animals going? And think it was your cat that got sick hope she’s ok now. The markets were good thanks, hadn’t been in a very long time, it’s always so nice to get fresh produce. Do you have a local market or anything that you like going to ? 😊

I hope you have a good day today and lovely to see you around my friend 💜

hey @MissGremlin thinking of you 🙏

hello everyone passing by, enjoy your Sunday 🌻

Hello @Chasingsunsets, thankyou ❤️.

I hope you have a lovely day sweet ❤️

@Chasingsunsets My weekend has been going ok so far, except for having the worse bloody nose I have ever had. It was pouring out and it took ages to stop. And as soon as the clot stopping it moved, it started up again. Thankfully it has stopped now, but it was weird. And I really want to blow my nose, but I know it will start up again. I will hold off for as long as possible.

I am looking into crystals at the moment, so just creating a document for each crystal that I have purchased, so I can easily look up what the crystal is good for and how to use the correctly.

I had a bit of a melt down last week regarding being stuck living in a caravan, but I am over it now and I am just grateful to have a roof over my head.

What sort of work do you do that obviously has a night shift of some sort and weekend work? Nursing comes to mind, but that's just a guess.

I hope the weekend has been kind to you, even though you had to work

@Mustang67 , @Honeymoon , @tyme 

can someone do the sunday coffee and chat please

@Mustang67   hey Mustang67 having a quiet weekend which is a good thing. hope life is going well for you sweetheart.  absolutely no news 😮  !

Just posted in there lovely💛 @Shaz51 

You are all welcome to come say hi over there (I've featured the discussion).

~ @Honeymoon 

@Honeymoon I can't find the Sunday coffee & Chat. Can you send me the link please. I am not sure if it takes a little while to create the discussion or not. 

@SANE-KhorosCare are you a Moderator? I see you on the forum often, but you have no posts, so just wondering what your role is?

My sincere apologies @Mustang67  and @Shaz51 

I just realised I posted in last Sunday's thread. I am currently trying to create a new discussion but may wait and ask @tyme later today. I will do my best to make sure this doesn't happen again.

All done @Shaz51 @tyme 

@Mustang67 thanks for the tag. Life is ho-hum. My paternal family have decided I am persona non grata and won't answer my texts, emails or calls. I heard that my aunt passed away and none of them are answering me to confirm if it is true or not. The blocking me from their lives coincides with my narcisister becoming Queen in Her Own Mind and throwing her weight around (telling my cousins to cut me from their lives)

I am feeling quite discombobulated about the whole thing, although I am pleased that I am not having a full on rejection meltdown as I probably would have 6 months ago.

Family - the reason God gives you friends.

Oh WOW @ENKELI Family definitely suck sometimes. I know it must hurt to be shut out like that, and very inconvenient, especially when trying to confirm if your aunt has actually passed away or not.

Is it your whole paternal family that are not communicating with you or only some of them. And do you know why they would not be communicating? 

I have friends that I consider family more than some of my family members.

I am glad that you haven't had a full on rejection meltdown like you would have 6 months ago. That shows growth and for that I am so proud of you. 

@Mustang67 it's pretty much my entire paternal family. I have 2 half sisters, one who hasn't spoken to me in over 10 years, the other one who says she loves me then sticks the kn*fe in my back. I have one remaining cousin who hasn't cut me off but I have no doubt he will once he's spoken to the other members.

If I knew why I could maybe try to remedy the situation but I honestly have no idea. It all started when dad died last December. One by one they dropped off but are close to my sister. The irony is that my sister barely knows my dad's side of the family because she's only met them once or twice in her entire life.

I am trying not to care anymore. The stupidity of it is that I would have left my estate to my sister but she gets nothing now. Although I am angry enough at the moment to mention her in my will stating "I leave you what you deserve...nothing."

If I was you @ENKELI, I would be very tempted to mention her in my will stating, "I leave you what you deserve...nothing."

Some people just aren't nice people, and they deserve what they put out into the world, to be returned to them.

@Mustang67 as a Christian, I am letting God deal with her. After all, He is the one who says, "Vengeance is mine." Depending on how I feel when I write my will out I may or may not write her into it. 

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer...

You too @MissGremlin 🙏🌻

Hi @Mustang67, awesome Sunday pic by the way! 
Hows your nose going? Hope no more nose bleeds 😜

Crystals sound awesome! I love selenite! I know @Jynx likes crystals too! I’d love to hear which crystals you have been reading about and which ones have taken your interest if ever you want to share 😊

Ah yes, I hear you re melt downs, I am glad your harder feelings have passed and you are feeling a bit better. I haven’t shared what I do but I do work different hours that include nights and weekends sometimes, but it’s just a varied schedule job. I like to have some fun with it since I can’t share my job and an icecream maker and stirrer has always appealed to me 🤩😂😋. I love Ice-cream!

How was your day?

Top effort @Mustang67 @Honeymoon thanks so much for helping create today’s coffee threads 🙏🌻

big help to @Shaz51

@ENKELI @Bunniekins @MissGremlin @tyme 
awesome work team 🤩☀️, very thankful for you all 🌼

@Chasingsunsets and I am thankful for you 🤗

Aw thanks @ENKELI 🙏 how’s your evening my friend 🤗, how’s your two lovely cats 🥰

@Chasingsunsets moggies are as crazy as usual, GypsyMonroe is still sleeping in the shower and Mr Murdermittens is still proving that ginger cats only have 1 brain cell that they share with every other ginger on the planet!

Hope you have a good night's rest 😴 💕 

@Chasingsunsets my day was pretty relaxed. The nose has stopped now. Not sure what brought that on.

I just ordered some crystals that are good for depression. These are Rose Quartz, Smoky Quartz, Orange Calcite, Lepidolite & Angelite. That was one selection and another one had these ones which I also ordered.  Lapis, Lepidolite, Orange Calcite, Angelite & Moss Agate.

I have also ordered some sage to cleanse the crystals and a beginners book on crystals. And a Selenite Charging Bowl as well. 

I have ordered a variety of heart shaped crystals where I thought the stone would be good for me. And I ordered a couple for my partner. I found one that helps with panic attacks, so since he had one at work last week I have ordered it for him. Plus this cute Clear Quartz Crystal Labubu

And this Selenite Paw

@Jynx 

As I have ordered the crystals I have created a file for each crystal with pictures and I have copied the description and what it is good for and placed it in a word document with a picture so I know what each crystal is good for and what it looks like.

@ENKELI Haha funny! I find cats so interesting I say this all the time 😂, I really love gingers but yess I have heard so many say they are a different breed 😂. I really love there colours so impressive !! 
Thanks re rest I am not far away got to be careful not to flip back to night work 🤪. I hope you get a good nights rest too so so lovely chatting 🙏🙏

Fantastic @Mustang67 always good to have a relaxing Sunday :ok_hand:, glad your nose is better 🙏

Your crystals sound so good, I am feeling I need one for brain power and clarity almost ☺️, need to do some research myself too! I really love my selenite hearts they are ad big as my palm, so cool! Your pics are awesome everything you got/getting sounds awesome and the selenite paws have not seen them before how cool!!!

I am going to hit the hay, so lovely chatting awesome work today definitely doesn’t go unnoticed so thanks, full appreciation 🙏☀️🌼

Goodnight@Chasingsunsets I asked Google AI about crystals for brain power and clarity, and this was its response.

• Fluorite (The "Genius Stone"): Known as a "mental organizer," it helps clear brain fog, improves concentration, and balances the hemispheres of the brain to bring order to chaotic thoughts.
• Clear Quartz: Acts as a "clarity catalyst" by filtering out distractions and amplifying your focus. It is often used to unblock stagnant energy and provide a fresh mental perspective.
• Amethyst: Primarily used to soothe the mind, Amethyst reduces stress and anxiety that can cloud judgment. It is believed to boost intellectual thought and help with decision-making.
• Sodalite (The "Logic Stone"): Promotes rational thinking, objectivity, and truth. It is ideal for tasks requiring heavy analysis, calculation, or logical reasoning.
• Lapis Lazuli: Stimulates the "higher mind" to enhance intellectual ability and memory. It is often recommended for students and researchers to aid in processing complex information.
• Pyrite (The "Stone of Memory"): Believed to stimulate the intellect and improve memory retention. It also boosts energy and motivation to overcome procrastination.
• Hematite: A grounding stone that acts as an "anchor," pulling scattered thoughts back to a centered state. It is particularly useful for staying focused during high-pressure situations.

Thank you 😊 @Mustang67 , @Honeymoon 🤩

@Chasingsunsets , @ENKELI , @Bunniekins 🥰

@Chasingsunsets 

this is one of my favourite photos of MM - he sleeps in the most unusual positions.
As for Gypsy, she is just as nuts. I think it must be the Ragdoll in them both, although Gypsy doesn't look like she has much Ragdoll in her. I had to give her a human anti anxiety med to calm her down to remove a couple of mats from her fur. I picked her up and she was on her back with her back feet straight out and her front feet above her head. She was so...shall we say...relaxed that she didn't care what happened to her! 

I hope your week treats you well xoxo

Love your post on the crystals @Mustang67  !! Thanks so much!! So funny I went looking for mine- can you guess what crystal I went looking for hehe posted below ☺️. Funny, first place I went looking and they weren’t there and I was like ahhh not again mustang got me on another search mission 😂🤭

but they were not far away! Maybe I need like a few hundred to help me out 😂. Had these guys for a couple of years love fluorite and it’s description 😀 @Jynx 

Aw look at MM, just beautiful @ENKELI 🥰, shh don’t tell him but he’s almost doing the yoga pose “downward dog” lol. 
Yes I remember you mentioning the story of Miss Gypsy 😂😂, thought she might have ended up wrapped like a little burrito but you said the meds worked wonders lol. 
Hope they are giving you lots of love 🙏💜🐈

It would not have been good if you had to hunt high & low for them like the coins @Chasingsunsets 

The fluorites are a beautiful colour. How many crystals do you have in your collection?

This Black Obsidian Cat is my favourite so far.

Black Obsidian Cat

@Jynx @SmilingGecko 

@Chasingsunsets I had considered a "purrito" but the mats in her fur where on both sides. She has arthritis poor thing so she can't reach right to her back legs. I brush her as often as she allows me to but sometimes the mats just need to be cut off. I thought about giving her a lion cut but now that it's getting cooler I don't want her getting cold. 

It's only 25 degrees here but humidity is nearly 50% so I'm feeling sticky 😒

Hopefully your weather is nicer!
