Good morning
I'm not doing so well to be honest. How are you?
The storm is picking up here, we're not even in an amber zone but it's pretty strong and the doggo is bricking it. Every time he hears wind he jumps off the couch bless him. So trying to keep him calm .. and myself calm, I hate storms because of the time we lost power for 26 hours. So far so good with the power. My family are travelling back today and I did everything I could to persuade them to delay it for one day but they ignored me because it's not bad where they are, think they're gonna get a shock when they get up here
Just cooking lunch. definitely feeling calmer today than yesterday, the hormonal rage has settled down too, which is a big win
Bless, I just need to keep theo calm. He doesn't like storms.
what are you having for lunch?
sending safe hugs to you and theo.
thankyou bea i rly appreciate it. if you want to vent etc on the other thread i can try my best to support you.
Theo is ok it’s just a case of reassuring him that it’s just wind and it can’t get in the house and it can’t hurt him.
aha im thinking like that too as i want lunch but i dont have energy to wash up 🤣.
aw bless. hugs to you both
No problem. And no thank you, but I appreciate it.
how are you now?
Don't worry about me.
ill always worry abt you and i will ask bc you matter and i care abt you. we all care abt you
The wind has calmed down a lot now so theo is calmer now, bless him. Thank you for the hugs
I probably won’t be in the chat tonight, I’m waiting for them to come back and I need to be down there armed with drinks and snacks for when they get in. Hope you guys find it helpful.
Sorry to hear that, if you want to talk at all I'm here
Thank you @Animalloverb Im just getting these "Ill never get a job thoughts" sometimes
That's okay, I understand. I know how much your struggling at the moment with job hunting.
I know you have been given the opportunity to go onto another course that may help you get a job.
Don't beat yourself up about it mate, you will get there. Just the journey there is different for everyone.
Thank you @Animalloverb your support is always helpful, don't think otherwise. I hope you're better even just a bit today.
I'm glad you find my support helpful, that's great to hear.
Oh no I'm not at all but it's okay.
