Feeling positive about the future after DH died

[Chasingsquirrels]

Just starting off before we hit 1000 on the last thread...

Morning all!
anxiety is a bit of a pig 84 , hope you are able to cope (hugs)
MrsJ - well, I certainly don't envy you today - good luck!
Willow - poor you, I bet you are stressing about stuff, never helps with sleep in my case.
Chasing it must be hard keeping track of whats what !
Well, DH went and Picked up the loan car - all good if a little small , but now need to go back to the garage, as he forgot to pick up the house keys for DD1s house which we keep in the car !
Market day, so out for that , then pick up DGS , but have to zoom back for a committee meeting, so all a bit here there and everywhere.
Legs are fine today after a nice hot bath last night.
Have a good day everyone

Hope you are feeling a bit better as day goes on 84 .

Well had a weird day so far. Ds2 has stomach ache was doubled up by time we got to school so came home. I was a wreck ha ha so we both went to bed. My head had one of those figit spinners flying around in it for a while but despite some sureal dreams i actually fell asleep for a bit and got up again at 11. Still feeling a little bit wobbly and havent photographed a thing yet but its a start. Feel like i should be moving and getting all this stuff pulled out and done pdq and i am just being lazy but i have work later i should maybe pick something less taxing to do and save my energy, its very annoying.

Might just do some light housework instead the place needs it😁😁

Well I survived and near story time for DS. Then going to do some yoga and have a long shower fingers crossed

I hope that you did something Willow but not too much - sounds like you and DS2 needed some quiet time.

84 hope it has eased. I have felt very wound up and hemmed in today.

book I hope that the hire car has behaved and that you got all your stuff done. Any news on what how much your car needs.

Hope you're OK horse

Ah squirrels well you've sent it now

Feeling better tonight. Watching a rerun of Soldier Soldier. An old friend of mine is in it. Her and her now ex husband were amazingly kind when Wilf was small. He was very difficult to have at birthday parties. They always used to invite Wilf and their kindness has never been forgotten....

Evening all.
84 I loved Soldier Soldier was gutted when it ended😀

Thankfully work was slow and steady so no mad rush to get stuff done at end. Need to pull myself out of the funk and get motivated tomorrow. Did post a couple of adverts on fb so fingers crossed.

Enjoy your shower MrsJ hide there for a while and ignore everything else😀

I didnt meet her till long after it finished. She was a neighbour of my Mum's by then.

Got the shower done! Chilly enough for slippers and a fleece!

Its quite chilly here too. Might need a duvet tonight and thicker pjs!

Hello All! Bit chilly here too, brrrr!! Hope your car is soon repaired book, such a pain when they go wrong. ☹️

Willow, hope you feel better now and DS as well. Is it a bug or had he eaten something that disagreed with him so you think?

Hopefully you are all asleep - as I should be as need to try and get in a bit early in the morning. Have 2 client meeting and the partner I work with wasn't in today to go through things.
Work, home & quick sandwich for a very lunch, boys to joggers, took sandals back to Hermes drop off point and got some bread and milk then out to a scout committee meeting this evening. Back about 9.45pm so I'm not sure where the rest of the evening had gone.

Shouldn't be hard to keep track book, they go every Monday. I'm losing it. Bit like your DH with the keys! Hope it all got sorted.

Sounds like you both needed a nap willow, have you told the boys about the house?

Glad you are feeling a bit better this evening 84. I'm another who used to love Solider Solider.

Fingers crossed for another good night cake, hope you enjoyed yoga and your shower.

And a wave to horse.

🖐️ 😀

Morning all.
Well i slept a lot more last night but in the armchair downstairs. More school problems, ds2 bowel prob etc all filling my head in bed so got up wrapped up in chair put tv on and relaxed till i fell asleep 😀 woke up 5.30 and went back to bed and slept till 7. Yeah!

Squirrels yes kids know about house and are ok. Ds2 a bit anxious but have explained its my prob not his and they are looking forward to a new house especialy (hopefully) near school friends😀 Hope work not too stressy for you today.

Hopefully get motivated today and get some stuff done. Kids have haircuts after school too. Need to talk to ds1s pastoral teacher re his subjects or lack of them. He is dropping physics as finds it too hard and only option is horticulture!! He has no interest in bloody plants! Wtf use is that to him? I just feel he is doing nothing except science thats of any use to him and falling through the crack. They decided his subjects without any unput frim me. Course he didnt help by not telling me stuff in the first place. I feel like i have failed him totally at school. They did options on a day he was off and didnt get in touch with me about them at all. Arghh. I am useless parent maybe i should have been proactive or something but i didn't have any heads up.

Oh well KBO.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Well am getting somewhere, slowly😀

Have appoint with guidance teacher friday.

Have put stuff on fb.
Have pollyfilled holes in walls.
Ds2 and i have cleared thier windowsill for painting round new window (dont know why i am bothering they made the mess and were supposed to make it good not my fault the guy left holes!)
Even put some stuff in boxes in thier room. Its a start😀
Just need to hoover living room now.

Still have no taste except 'disgusting'. Its horrible that dr is gonna get an earful tomorrow.😉

Afternoon all!
well, just had my head down finishing off a blanket for WH when I got back in last night and this morning, . Its in the post so I can relax a bit now.
Still no news on car, but we knew our garage was very busy this week, so not panicking ( well, not much ...) .
Willow - well, I think you are being too good in truth, or are you making sure that you get your deposit back? Keep hoping you hear some good news re housing , and trying to send as many positive thoughts as I can your way. Hope you get some joy from the guidance people,
Chasing - running around as per usual - hope today went okay work wise.
MrsJ - slippers and fleece - its just right for me this - its been grey and a bit chilly.
84 and Horse - hope you are both well .
Just sitting down for a cup of coffee- DH and I both at the allotment this afternoon,. Tea is prepped up., just need to bring the washing in, and iron a few bits , then thats me done for the day :)

Yep Book not giving them an inch😉
Busy as usual, whats for tea? Its always something amazing at your house.

Dull and damp first thing here but lovely now when too late for washing😠

Haircuts done and everyone grabbing thier own tea. I bought Pringles to see if i could taste them and fruit lollies as i can just about detect sweet stuff for seconds. Having an omelette with cheese and toms but not feeling the love have given up on it. Bah! Need to drink more as realised i am not drinking as much as usual so skin is cracking up. Maybe the lollies will be ok.

hah Willow - very simple tonight - home made bolognese sauce with spaghetti, with garlic mushrooms on top. Then gooseberry crumble with custard ( trying to use up stuff out of the freezer - we should have had runner beans in there somewhere ... )

Oooh pass the crumble i love gooseberries😀

Hello

Have survived a much easier day and had time to do some cleaning, but of course it only lasts 5 minutes.

Willow you've done nothing wrong - school have behaved very badly! Kick butt on Friday.

Sounds good book Well done on getting a blanket put together. I contemplated a coat this morning, but it did warm up a lot.

Hope your meetings/work went well Squirrel
