They sure are @SunsetSunrise 

Any furbabies?

 @MissGremlin and Casper xx 

No furbabies for me 😞 @Shaz51 

Me either @SunsetSunrise ❤️

Have had lots of different pets in the past but not now 

Good morning @Shaz51 

You're up early. I'm having a coffee and waiting for it to get light enough to go for a walk. I hope your day is peaceful and you find a smile on your face today. Sending much love.  💚

Morning @Shaz51 

I just woke up and had 8 hours of sleep which is great 

Mmmmmmmm how are you? Any plans for today?

A very early start to your day @Shaz51  🌞 Hope your day is better than you've been having lately 💖 

Morning all 👋💕 enjoy your morning cuppa of choice. Making a pot of tea here, with tea leaves not bags. 😊

8 hours sleep,  wow @Blackcloud

What kind of tea leaves 🍃 @Emelia8 

My grandmother loved her tea leaves and had a strainer too 

Bushels (extra strong) leaf tea @Shaz51 😀💕 is my preferred brew.

@Shaz51 Hey you. I came back last week to talk about soemthing immediate and pressing but have decided it might be good for me to drop in regularly and listen and talk to this awesome community again. 

Today I am going to get soem documents signed by a JP at the library in prepe for a  surgery next month and I'm a bit wobbly on that. Trying hard to do the calming self talk and redirects though and managing mostly.


My Sunday is looking like reading, maybe picking up a new playstation game and cooking our evening meal this afternoon before the pain sets in too hard, so it is then a heat and eat later.

What's everyone else up to?

@Blackcloud @Hello lovely. How are you? It’s good to see you online. 

@Cuddlebear hi my friend, it's so nice to see you online as well. I notice that everytime I tag you in response, you never seem to respond back to me anymore I'm not sure if its because you usually miss my posts or something so I haven't tagged you for quite a while because of that. 

I hope things have been going ok for you at least though ❤️ how have you really been my friend?

surgery next month @MoonGal , hope it is not too serious my friend xx

a new playstation game --- what kind?

do you have pain my friend, sending you lots of hugs

@Blackcloud  I’m sorry I have not replied. It is because I’m really sick and don’t get to messages. I’m at a real horrible place with my mental health. It’s nothing you’ve done. I struggle so very much to get on the forums. Please do tag and don’t feel that I’m avoiding you. I’m just so sick and sit frozen and disassociated with panic, and anxiety, complex trauma and severe depression every single day. All day. I get no relief whatsoever. 

Are you back at study? You probably are? How is it going? 

ohhh sending you lots of hugs @Cuddlebear and sitting with you ❤️

@MoonGal Hello how are you? I’m not sure we’ve met before. I love your user name. Thank you for your kind words and understanding. It means a lot to be in a space where people understand. 

It's a total hip relacement -- ohh will be thinking of you lots @MoonGal and sending my love and for a fast recovery 

About to cook a fav pasta base.--- yummm @MoonGal 😋

sounds nice xx

@Shaz51 Thank you sweet. I appreciate you being so patient with me and kind. Thank you for sitting with me. 

@Cuddlebear I'm sorry to hear that you're still really struggling with your health at the moment my friend, thanks so much for letting me know about that ❤️ 🫂 I'm sending you so many hugs and strength 🫂💗 

yes, im back to studying my bachelors after taking a trimester break last year. I've finished my first assignment just over a week ago so im preparing for my second one soon. ❤️ also currently doing a TAFE course part time too.

you found us @Cat34 😍

hello @23enth-degree @SANE-KhorosCare , @Determined 

@Blackcloud Thank you lovely. I just wanted to explain so you know I’m not ignoring you. I’m genuinely unwell and this is what prevents me from responding. 

im really happy to hear you took a bit of a break from study. It’s very good news you are back now and done your first assignment. And you’re doing TAFE too! You’re going to be busy! How are you finding it ?

@Cuddlebear 

 no worries my friend, yes that makes perfect sense ❤️ I know I would do the same if I ever had to deal with the same illness as you do as I went through a few years ago. I’m continuing to root for you and praying that this time will pass & you’ll get through all of this. 🫂💙🌿

Since I’m only studying 1 unit from both the courses each (1 unit from the bachelor and 1 unit from the TAFE course) it’s actually going pretty well & doing both courses with only 1 unit each is what makes it overall really manageable for me & doesn’t lead me into burnout. 😊 I forgot to tell you that I’ve also completed all the assignments that we have to do in the TAFE unit I’m currently doing too. I’m pretty sure each TAFE unit goes for only 4 weeks & then it moves onto the next unit after and so on and so on.

@Blackcloud  How are you? It’s good you’re doing one unit from each course. That makes it manageable and well done on doing all the TAFE stuff for this unit. Any plans today? 

Thank you for understanding. Since we’ve met I have not had a single moment of relief. It’s just gotten worse. I just want you to know I’m not ignoring you. I’m unwell and love hearing from you. 

Hi @Cuddlebear I went out for a walk this morning and it was good as always. It’s always really nice going out for walks. Also just woke up from a really good nap which I did fell asleep for more than 1.5 hours I think lol! It’s becoming pretty cold now in Melbourne in terms of the weather. I’ve been a bit sick over the past week and so but I am still fully recovering. I made a honey & lemon hot water yesterday morning in order to get rid of the sore throat I’ve been having for a whole week and over and it has worked wonders! Not sure why I didn’t do that sooner lol!😂 

I don’t really have plans today but because my seminar is tomorrow that’s when I’ll start preparing for the next assignment for my bachelors & the assignment is due in a month.

awww I’m sending you lots of hugs and calm my friend & I’m very glad to hear that you love hearing from me. I’ll be sure to keep tagging you as I can and as you please 😊😊🌿🌿🫂🫂🫂💗💗💗
