Dreading New Year

Aww I know exactly the same. It's almost as soon as my head hit the pillow. My mind races. And the clock ticks by. I could have slept afer work today. But I've kept myself up, in the hope by 10, I'll be sleepy. X

Hey there

Well done on the washing machine and the job! Am assuming you accepted it?...Hope so as your current job sounds as bad as my previous one was getting. 

I am glad you guys are all saying you’re exhausted. Me too. When I do sleep it just never seems to refresh or make me feel better. And yet no matter how exhausted you are you still can’t sleep!!! Ridiculous.

Anyway at least another lonely weekend is over and done. 

Have a good week all. Take care, be strong. We all stand virtually with each other through this. Xx

SPu - I’m not keen on the weekends either, I find the hours stretch out longer, if that makes sense. Mum never liked Sunday’s. I know what you mean about sleep, I never feel refreshed either. I thought I wasn’t go to have much sleep last night, but got a hot water bottle and eventually got to sleep, I always say god bless mum before going or should I say trying to sleep, we used to say that every night and I find a bit comfort in saying it. Hope you have a good day SPu and everyone else. We all stand together - keep strong xx

Hi all,

Just wanted to drop a quick message to say hi and how are you all doing?

Hey Kate

Busy week which is good but dreading heading into the weekend as nothing planned again...

How you doing?

xx

Hi All,

How you all doing? Another week over with and another weekend to begin. I'm already thinking what to do tomorrow, thinking of going to see Stan and Laurel in cinema just to break the day up. 

Hope you are all ok x x x

Hope everyone has managed to get through the week ok.  Mum and me used to watch Laurel & Hardy -  we shared the same sense of humour x

SPu - glad to hear your week has gone ok, no doubt with your week been busy, it has gone by fairly quickly. Hope you manage to get through the weekend ok x

Hi all -

Lovely to hear from you. 

Busy week too - another work trip which ‘distracted’ me up and until Thursday when I got hit by a wave. Dreamt about my mum both Wednesday and Thursday night and both days were really hard. Always dream my mum has cancer but they feel so real! Find the days after a dream really hard. 

On the flip side, does anyone sometimes have this pinch me moment when you don’t feel like your mum getting cancer and passing away ever happened? I got home after my trip last night and almost tried to pretend for a second that it wasn’t real. Then I saw the pictures I’d got done and the flowers I’d pressed from my mums funeral and it came back. 

On a different note, something really weird happened as I was writing this just now -  I’d started to run a bath when this moth kept buzzing around me. Like it wouldn’t leave me alone - this may sound crazy but I believe my mum is all around and so it somehow felt like it had something to do with her. 

Anyway, thinking of you all this weekend and hope you can find some way to get through it - this all will get ‘easier’ it will. So never lose hope xxxx

This is for everyone

I brought myself some small pastels to try a full page pastel drawing, its A4 size. I use round soft pastels and pastel pencils for details. I hope the dreamcatcher can help give you peaceful dreams.
