Good Morning Will

I am so happy for you about your sleep last night, I agree, up every hour after 1 is not ideal but you are kicking some really big goals here and showing yourself what you are capable of and this is awesome.

That sounds like a great idea to make a list, I love a list, and tick them off as you go, my advice would be try not to get overwhelmed by how many things on the list, just get the noise out of your head and see if you can do one, then another one....how wonderful, I am so proud of you and so very happy for you.

Your message sounds really positive and I hope you have a great day with your wife and daughter, maybe a coffee out.....that would be awesome!

My day is going well so far and yes, some rain would be great, it is so dry and so very hot. My kids are off to school today and it is going to be 43!!! They will be exhausted....

I feel so happy for you Will and hope for a wonderful day for you and your ladies today.

Hugs

Hi Sarah,

How are you?

Another hot day. forecasting 46! it will probably reach 47 where i am.

Slept with medication last night (i tried) woke up with a headache(bad tension on back of my neck) and a bit giddy. (that's few days in a row , not sure whats bringing those on. )

Debi and daughter at work, the 2 boys at home. (they have just moved 2 tonnes of pebbles in this heat).good to be young , i was a Good Supervisor . (i did help a little).

Not much else planned today,(you?) i'm not sure how to spend my time. there is more work to do outside but its far too hot. i wish i can get in the mood to watch a movie or something, just don't have any motivation to do that.

you have a great day.

William.

Hey Will

That is great that you got some sleep, dont feel bad for needing the medication, that is what it is there for, a win if you dont need it but also sometimes a win if you do as you wake up, even though a bit groggy and with a sore neck, feeling rested and that is so important too.

Those boys of yours are troopers out there in the heat doing work, that is great and I am sure you were a good supervisor..lol. It is so hot and humid here today, it is really not very nice at all.

Do you like board games? Today could be a good day to do that with the boys, in the cool and give your mind something to do? Just a suggestion.

I have been to get some groceries as we are off to the tennis tonight, so very lucky to get some tickets to the womens finals...I am taking my daughter so we are super excited about that, however food is sooo expensive, a gormet hot dog is $27...ekkkk so I am taking food..lol

I would really like to mow the lawn but it is waaayyy too hot and I also cant be bothered..lol

Chat soon Will and hope you have a great day.

Hugs

Hi,

I'll send the boys to do the lawn. They did that as well this morning.

Shame Barty is not playing , the atmosphere would have been awesome .

$27 for hot dog? they must be purebred lol, were you going to have one? what about your diet?

reminds me when i used to go to the footy, go half tanked and already had dinner.

give us a wave tonight and i'll keep an eye for anyone who's not having a hot dog but has a bowl of soup in her hands. LOL

William

Lol..please send the boys down..that would be wonderful, in saying that I should get one of my two to be doing it....

I am still very much vegan, there is no way I would be eating one but just saying how darn expensive it is, sooo over priced! I always take food to the footy too, there is another place that it is just outrageous to buy food and a beer is like $9....eekkkk

It is such a shame that Barty is out but non the less it will be amazing and yes, the atmosphere will be great. I hope we don't get our mugs on the TV...lol...the other thing is though that they have some really nice give aways, Garnier is there so there are hair masques and face masks..lol..all good girly stuff.

How is that game of scrabble going??? I love a game of scrabble..you should get the boys to play a game with you.

Hugs as always

Hi,

How was last night? hope you had a great time.( just checked the results), good game? more importantly did you have enough food?

There is ash everywhere again. fire yesterday not to far away,and we supposed to get dust this afternoon. .(although they keep changing the forecast, they get it so wrong so often ).

I was very anxious last night as it was still 40 degrees at 8pm and the Aircon decided its too hot to work. (i'm not not complaining , i feel so sorry for people who do not have or can afford aircon or even fans in this heat). Its just my OCD to go to bed , it was very uncomfortable.

Today is going to be quite, debi and daughter at work, son at fiancee's, and one at home .(he will be on the TV all day ,between the news and judge Judy).

will try to do more MH exercises today, (bit slack yesterday), other than that bit of house work. no much else happening.

hope you have a great day.

William

Good Morning Will

Sorry for the tardy reply, I was at baseball yesterday and then footy training and all the kids activities....just like a personal Uber really...lol

It was a lovely day in Melbourne yesterday and the heat has gone so that is great, although today it is raining and cool, welcome to Melbourne I guess.

Back to work today, the weekend seems to go very quickly..grrrr

Hope you can get some of your MH exercises done today, no pressure from me..just hope you can make some time for you. Anything else on the agenda for today?

I feel like you are sounding much happier Will and I hope that this is the case, you are coming along so well on your journey and I am really proud of you.

Chat soon

Hi Sarah,

Missed your post yesterday, i know what it was like with kids sports and other activities when they were younger.

Home alone again today, not much planned, i was so bored this morning i decided to play solitaire on PC. (it wasted 20 minutes or so).

I feel my depression and anxiety are getting better, Panic attacks(Agoraphobia) and OCD same though , hope they will improve soon.

Debi is off to the gold coast for 5 days on Thursday (with few of her girl friends ) , its going to be a challenge and a bit more difficult to run things around here without her. I have to manage somehow.

they predicting heavy Rain from Thursday to Sunday , fingers crossed. we do need it desperately. but again they may change the forecast as usual and look outside on Thursday and review it. (i should apply for a job with the bureau )

Talk soon,

William

Hey Will

Sorry once again, I do think of you and wonder how you are going so you are in my thoughts even though I am not typing....

LOL...you are like Jane Bunn...my dad actually is a meteorologist so I know a thing or two about the clouds and the weather....see these dots that I put between points...I do it to my kids too and my son calls me Jane Bunn as it is like I am pausing between points....lol

Solitare is a great way to pass some time and it is good exercises for your brain, that is a great thing to do. Do you like any other sort of mind games, that can be really helpful in reconnecting the brain matter too..

I am sure that you are going to be fine when Debi is away, I can be here more often to ensure I can support you and I think you can reach out to the kids too and make sure that they 1. help and 2. provide you with some company so that you are not feeling alone. You do sound like you are making some real progress and I am so very happy for you Will and you deserve to have some peace and some happiness and to be able to enjoy life.

Off to make another coffee.....

Chat soon

Sarah xx hugs oooo

Hi,

Coffee Yum , missed my day coffees , as you know i limited myself to one in the morning. Office days i reckon i used to have 10 or so.

i didn't know who Jane Bunn was. had to look it up. I was talking in general how the forecast from BOM is always changing , especially 2 or more days out. i don't mind slight changes (it is the weather !!) but when it goes from rain to possible shower it really annoys me.

It is now midday and feeling lost. (Anxious and Giddy). don't know what to do with myself.

William
