Not in a good space

[Katyonthehamsterwheel]

It's like a feeling just bubbling up to the surface. It's panicky and disgusting and I dont' know what to do with it. There's no thoughts associated with it. It's a feeling. A really gross one. I called the Suicide Call Back service. I didn't find them helpful. What do you do? What helps you?

Hello Katy, wave to everyone,

Wow!!! ... You said you were going to keep up the momentum and do something else challenging... you should be so proud of yourself... attending the GROW meet up can't have been easy...

Lass with everything you've had going on lately... I'm not surprised you needed to let all the blah out with a good cry... I really hope it has left you feeling brighter today.

Stay warm

Hugs

Hi Sleepy, Paws, all 🙂

Yes, sometimes just getting in the door is the hard bit. The group all recognised that, which was nice.

I still feel a bit blah today but have managed some chores and some weeding (lots of weeding!) with a nice cool but sunny day here.

Sleepy, I hope things are a little brighter in your world today. I know yesterday wasn't feeling great for you. Thanks for being here, you're always a ray of sunshine even when you're struggling.

Paws, I'm glad you had a nice outing today and managed to miss most of the bad weather. Thanks for being here too, with your kind and gentle encouragement.

Stormy will get her poor fat ear drained tomorrow. I hope they're gentle with her. They have a habit of handling their patients as though they are objects, and Stormy is a sensitive soul. I worry.

Hugs, Katy

Hi Katy,

I tried to reply to your post this morning but my computer kept freezing up - installed updates yet again! Hooray for getting to the GROW meeting and well done you! That took some courage to do. Pat on the back!

I hope they take gentle care of Stormy tomorrow. The pic of her is cute!

Sometimes a cry is just what we need...

Just home from ages with my music teacher talking - I think we cover every possible subject! Goodness. It's a nice way to spend a winter afternoon anyway! Two weeks'break now...

This covid thing here is a pain... I hope we don't have a lock down here when they've put all the winter festival things up - all the park trees are decorated with lights.. and lanterns.. the ice rink is up and the carousel for children and a ferris wheel! It all looks lovely at night with all the old buildings around lit up with light shows...

Hugs Katy and good luck with Stormy tomorrow oxoxo

Hello Katy, wave to all,

I've kept fingers & paws crossed for Stormy today... I hope she had an easy time at the vet & didn't need a nap... I am wondering who will be more delighted to see who when you go to pick her up???...

Well done on the weeding yesterday... if you run out of weeds at your place there are plenty at mine if you are looking to do more... lol...

Quiet day here

Hugs for you & the gentlest of pats for Miss Storm

Hello

Stormy went well at the vet yesterday. Her ear is a little wrinkly, but a friend told me to expect that. Had a bit of drama as a large dog jumped out the owner's car and tried to attack Storm as we were heading to the front door on the way in. I hurt my shoulder trying to get Stormy away, and keep the dog away from her. Gosh it was scary! I wish I was as resilient as miss Stormy, who came out of her appointment grinning, even after both events - I needed to sit and just breathe!

Well it's another amazing sunny winter's day here, before the rain sets in tomorrow. So I'm thinking I might get the skates on. I'll pass on your weeding, Paws, thanks though 🙂

Hope everyone's doing ok. Hugs from us xo

Hi Katy, are u okay? That would be so scary with the dog jumping out... your pup (doggo) sure is resilient! That grin sounds infectious and good on u both getting through that ordeal!

she sounds like an inspiring and sweet little creature, so cute. Your cats must get along well, do they ever fight or just snuggles? Love your home of animals and plants, u must be great at making a place homely and caring for ur space. I send love and hugs on this cold day here! Hope it'sa bit better now you're done with the VET

Hello

Having a blah in bed day here. It's rainy and yuk and I had decided I would work on my thesis but I feel bah humbug. It is what it is, I guess. I'm glad I have fur company, although the girl cat thinks 2 hours until dinner is time to start asking for food. Um, nope.

Sleepy, the cats get along ok and love to snuggle, but they do fight randomly. Nothing serious but little lover's tiffs perhaps. There's about a year's age difference but they're both really old and showing it at this point.

Thanks for the love and hugs, and asking if I'm ok. I think I need to have a lot of life in my space, with plants and pets, as I've found it hard to adjust to being on my own. I feel lonely a lot. If only they could all talk!

Hope you're doing ok today. I did go on your thread but wasn't quite sure what to say, as I'm not in a great mh space today, but I do care about your thoughts and feelings xo

Hugs to you, and hello and hugs to anyone else popping by. Katy

Hello Katy, wave to all,

It seems to have been the day for staying in bed... despite Woofa's best efforts... I didn't surface until about 4:30 & I have only made it as far as the couch...

How is your shoulder today lass?... I'm so pleased Miss Storm went well getting her ear drained... though I am so angry at the owner of that large dog... there is no excuse for allowing their dog to attack yours... those of us with large dogs should know we need to be extra aware of other dogs near ours & how ours will behave to them... especially at the vets where animals come & go...

I see Miss Storm is now rocking a hoodie... is this her rebelling at you dressing her like a nonna????... lol.... Tell her from me she is looking as gorgeous as ever (especially with that smile) & give her a big belly rub...

Hugs

Paws

Hi Katy, I hope you've improved today, rainy days do that to people... we are having a quiet afternoon here as tomorrow will be an early start and stressful with Sam..

I know what you mean about having life around you - oddly enough that reminded me of when my mother died when I was 19 - and you get flowers sent by people - but the best thing was a potted plant that someone gave me - it was so nice to have something living!

Cats have real personalities don't they!!!?? Overcast and chilly here and I'm not looking forward to the vaccine tomorrow maybe making me more tired.. my physio said it knocked her around for two days... but with the city too close for comfort, I am getting the shot tomorrow...

Hope you are safe there, hugs!

I'm writing from my phone Katy so I can send pics to cheer you up! Pats to Stormy and hugs for you!
