Hi dear @Bow
So good to see you hon
Have been reading along and recognise it has been a really hard time for you.
Thought of you when I went to the Disney and Lego shops!

ohh yep, can definitely relate to the 'psyching myself up' to face supports... it's pretty exhausting especially when nothing comes out of it. fingers crossed she reaches out tomorrow!! @Bow
an unexpectedly long visit from SIL and niece could not have come at a better time... ugh sucks that happened today!! can definitely understand the frustration of your routine being disrupted. i've had times where people have caught me off guard by visiting too... sometimes wish they'd informed me a lil earlier so i had time to re-adjust my plans. do you have a lil self-care/self-soothing activity to try out tonight that might help relieve a bit of the irritation and overwhelm?

@Bow do you like cleaning? i don't know about you but it just takes up sooooo much of my effort to get started on tidying up stuff, i tend to keep procrastinating for days/weeks.
what sort of crafts were you working on?

Hate cleaning @rav3n thank goodness mum loves it. But I do keep my space fairly clean and tidy. Feel like it’s something I can control… get irritable and unsettled when my space is a mess. I’ve got heaps of cat toys, boxes and other random things the cats like all over my floor… and I’m hating. But trying to be ok with it.
I’m making something out of an old book. It’s nearly finished… many hours. Will show once it’s done.
