You ok today, gorgeous?

Thanks for asking Paula. Yesterday was busy but ok. I went to the doctor as I thought I may have a water infection. Thankfully I don’t have one and she gave me some advice about how to ease my symptoms. Today I have a busy morning and then am going to fill out my job forms with a friend. This afternoon I am going to rest. No children until tomorrow evening.
Yesterday I treated myself to a more expensive tube of acrylic paint & a new pad of paper. Although I am trying to economise, little treats like this are lovely. When I finish my current picture I will try to post a picture of it on here.

Glad that it's not a water infection lovely. Hope your resting goes well! Can't wait to see your next painting!

That’s a great example of practising self care. Well done, hunni

So pleased/relieved this afternoon. I have been to my new employer and they have received a satisfactory reference from my current employer. I’m going to relax for the rest of the day! x

YAY!!!

Oh dear, I feel so weary at the moment. I’m resting a lot but still feel overwhelmed by everything. I’m still on the sleeping tablets & increased dose of Venlaflaxine. I have a child free weekend this weekend which will be good, thankfully, & a few days away 22-26 October. I just feel a bit disassociated tbh x

I sympathise, I'm totally exhausted. It's making doing anything tough. Glad you've got chance to rest though lovely....

. Are you sleeping at night?

[Arty]

Thank-you ladies. Yes, I am sleeping. It’s hardly surprising that I am exhausted - leaving current job, starting new one at the end of the month, season change (ugh ) and first holiday on my own with the kids imminent. I’m trying to rest as much as I can and we are going to have food from the chip shop tomorrow night.
