Morning @Teej and anyone who might be reading 👋🙂

I had some feel goods reading your update yesterday Teej 😊 So great to hear you're with some lovely people, even if they're not the smell-good-in-that-way kind of people 😉

Love the idea that your respite stay again involves arty stuff. Do you have opportunities to do anything arty or creative yourself while you're there? (Is there space for a tired CheerBear to magically teleport there and join you?)

I wanted to reply, first to say that I hope the rest of your stay is helpful and full of support with and from lovely people, and also to check in myself. I'm not here at the moment as much as I wish I had time to be and I am missing here lots. Not being here is one of lots of (temporary but tricky) changes that have happened in the last weeks. Very little feels normal at all and I'm finding it a bit hard sometimes. I am realising how much better things feel when there is predictability, order, structure, routine... etc to my days. I'd be very happy if life was totally, completely in my control really 😉😆

As for the unwell one in our life, it looks like they will be heading for heart surgery soon-ish. I'm going in this morning to see if I can speak with someone at the hospital and ask questions well one has but is struggling to ask. There is a big team of specialists involved including heart people, tummy people, bone people and cancer people, and it can be very jumbly and confusing for my people sometimes. I'm hoping to be able to find some answers today and a way to de-jumble things a bit 🤞

Hope the forecast today is for a calm one with plenty of good in it for you (and us all). Missing you and everyone, but often thinking of you 💗💕
