@PeppiPatty You are the first person who had a go at relating the whole of me .. as I began posting on the forum .. am very very very fond of you ..
it helps me keep keeping on
I so love that @BlueBay took control of her identity and changed her pic and name.
It doesnt mean we are not sad ... I was a SAD girl too .. now I have a range of feelings bubbling along under the surface.
Logging off for now .. but this forum is the first time I have been accepted without having to be totally compliant and invisible. I have been able to ask questions, make contradictory statements etc. i dont do that often or for the sake of it .. but being able to do that and still be me .. not just useful or compliant which is the way i do generally see me .. but the sadness and energy nand cretivity are also a part ..
Cheerio Friends

Oh @Shaz51 you poor thing. So much going on at the moment.
I hope you are getting better and that your hubby is okay too.
Is your mum okay? I do understand the carer's burnout. Yes maybe you are going through that right now, and your body will be telling you to rest up, take care. But it's hard when you are the carer.
I really hope you can get some respite; or some help at least.
Thinking of you my friend xxxooo

Thank you @BlueBay my friend
I think that is why I got the flu because of the carer`s burnout was building up until your body says that`s enough , time to rest
and sometimes we forget to listen to our bodies, telling us when to slow down
thanking for thinking of me my friend xx
thinking of you too xx

Hi @PeppiPatty
That sounds like a good plan for a break and I love it that your FIL is taking your husband to the pharmacy for a break - but I am wondering really what that is - I actually love going to Bunnings - I can spend an hour or longer just walking around there without buying anything
And all the people here possessed by cats - yes - they are bossy, cantankerous, selfish, demanding and lazy - but I love mine and all her naughty little behaviours - after all - if a cat has personality - they charm us, beguile us and occupy a whole queen bed just by lying in the middle of it
I can never make my bed while the cat is still in it - she looks so comfortable. atm she is asleep on my carpet near me - and the sun inconsiderately is gradually moving off her - I am watching to see how long she stays where she is

Hey @Decadin
Oh woman of the world. The one besides @Appleblossom I read and read messages of ......
Think about it......my hubby was a very naughty boy before he met me.....on our first date he rang his Mum and said Im asking this lady over for dinner tomorrow night, Shall I do the dishes and clean the toilet ? Oh, okay I will. He did and she knew it was love.....Lol
I digress.
I put a restraining order on him for two years and he came back all fixed up. He did it himself and no hospital people helped him. We were friends for a year and then we got back together. Now he takes medication every day which he needs to go to the chemist to get. He says that if he heard about it before he would not have been such a naughty boy. But I disagree. He was very angry about his diagnosis and he wanted to numb the pain.

Hi @PeppiPatty
I love it that you consider @Appleblossom and me as your "Women of the World" - ah yes - I have told younger people that we can choose some of our journeys - some people travel the world and see different cultures and environments and beauty - others - like myself - take the inward journey - just as sacred and terrible -
All journeys enrich us
Your's with the boy who asked him mother if he should do the dishes and clean the toilet before he asked you to dinner - wise - very wise - my ex bf had the place clean and tidy the first time I went there - that is a good start
Naughty boys of the past or not - I just wrote to @Determined - we can love the person but not the behaviour - if the Naughty Boy was in the past - we cab leave it there unless it comes back into the picture
The people here in this website are so beautiful - many are making that inward journey - we learn to love what is - not what was or what might have been
You were brave to walk out with a small child under each arm - wow - that was a tough move
Hugs from one of your Women of the World
