Hey @Bow 👋

Experiencing nightmares does sound utterly exhausting... I am so sorry you're going through this right now. And to be consistently reminded of your trauma would be really painful and overwhelming.

What did you support worker say and do to support you after you shared?

I am glad they will be with you to help you get your bloods done. 

What do you need from the community today? 💛

Also yay! Good on you. I have had a bit, but definitely need more - so I am going to hydrate now!

It’s incredibly exhausting @AuntGlow when I’m already so tired, any sleep I can get is important. I woke 8 times last night. 

my SW acknowledged my text this morning and then called me this arvo. We spoke briefly. It’s not something that I can easily speak about especially over the phone. Perhaps tomorrow after my bloods. 

I’m feeling incredibly alone at the moment @AuntGlow @some company would be helpful

@tyme.… ‘didn’t hear from you’? Was I suppose to do something? I’m confused?

Hey @Bow , sorry, this is the first time I've been on since you posted.

I meant I didn't hear from you because I saw you in another thread and said hi, but didn't hear from you, so I came over here to see if you were okay. Sorry for the confusion!

[AuntGlow]

Gosh, 8 times is a lot, isn't it? Did you manage to sleep a little more last night? @Bow 

I am glad they were there to listen. Please let me know how your bloods go and if you decide to share with them further. 

I will be here until 6pm today if you'd like to chat more? I am sorry I wasn't around more last night when you were feeling alone. I had so many notifications that I only got to respond to everyone once, so please know it wasn't personal. 💛

Hi @AuntGlow 

No didn’t sleep any better last night unfortunately. And I had to fast from midnight for my bloods this morning so I took 2 bottles of drink to bed with me. One with my iced sugar free cordial which I always take and then iced water to drink from midnight. Unfortunately the drink bottle with the iced water was double walled, so come midnight it was not very cold and I hate plain water as it was, so didn’t really drink any of it..:. And I tend to wake thirsty a fair bit during the night. 

bloods done this morning. My SW met me there. Did you know you can only get your B12 levels tested once every 11mths? Had to sign a form confirming that I’d pay if I had already had it done in the last 12mths. My gp usually calls if there is anything wrong with my bloods. 

I did a total fresh for the kittens once I got home. Cleaned out their litter boxes, washed their enclosure out and changed all their beddings. 

I made a cat calendar for my SW for Christmas and now just been doing things for our cruise. 

how r u?

Hi @Bow 

Just catching up a little.

Reading that things haven't been easy.

I'm glad your SW is helping you through some of it

Sending lots of 💗

Gah, drinking water is the bane of my existence, so I get this!! @Bow 

I didn't know that actually. I know my b12 is low though. 🤔

That's so wild that you have to pay if you get it done again... odd system, as always. 😂

A fresh clean must feel nice for all of you, good on you for getting that done. 

Aw that's so sweet! A cat calender. 🥹 How did you make it??

The cruise will be soooo fun! Where are you going? I think I missed the memo. 

I am good, just very sleepy from all the things I have been doing, but hoping things will slow down over December. 😮‍💨 

[Bow]

Oh you need some meat or fish or eggs @AuntGlow  my b1 is often low. 

Oh yep a fresh full clean is always nice. Doesn’t last long though. I’m sure they all always place bets to see who can dirty a clean litter box first! 

I made the cat calendar with my cricut machine. I enjoy making stuff with it.  Each month has a different cat on the top. My SW has 3 cats! 

 

We are going on a Disney cruise just after Christmas! Goes to hobart and back. I haven’t done a cruise before, mum has though. But there is so many optional extra things you can do to get into the Disney spirit. A lot of people decorate their doors. Majority of the ships are metal so you use magnets to attach things to your door. I’m doing an Alice in wonderland theme 🙂  People participate in pixie dusting. Which is basically random acts of kindness. I’ve been a bit crafty and made up some different things. This afternoon I made up some little tags to go on the pixie gifts that says ‘you’ve just been pixie dusted by room **’ and have a picture of tinker bell which I hand painted.  My D and I are also participating in a gift exchange just like secret Santa. We were randomly give another participant and a budget. I also ordered an iron on transfer and made us all matching tshirts! A drink bottle each that has Disney cruise decals. And I put together an autograph book for my D. 

 

don’t things normally get busier in December??? 😂
