Morning @Zoe7 😀

Hoping you are okay this morning, after the events of yesterday. Also hope your leg/hip are not too sore after yesterdays ladder fall. Thinking of you. 💕

Still no landline phones or internet here. Third day now. 😁

3 days @Former-Member - that is so annoying for you Hon Are you with the same company for mobile phone and NBN? You should request compensation for the outage and if you are with the same company for both reuest it on both mobile and home services. Most companies will grant that so they don't lose business.

I slept for about 5 hours last night then another 3 after I fed the fur babies this morning - so feeling a little better today. No nightmares which is an added bonus as I certainly expected it to be a tough night. I was so tired and worn out both physically and mentally so grateful for the sleep.

Leg and hip are really sore and I have aches everywhere but hand is okay. Going to fight through it to get some more sorting done today. Luckily it is rubbish day so will have an empty bin to through out things. Much like my clothes - there are things I hve been hanging onto for many years that can go. A lot can go to the Salvos but the rest I need to throgh away. I can see it is going to be a slow day though so not expecting to get it all done today. I really need to sleep a bit longer first so will do that first.

Need also to go to the supermarket later going to get Toby some alternative food for a couple of days so I don't have to go further to the pet shop - he has had it before and loves it so won't be an issue. His usual food is expensive if I don't get it on special and there are no specials on at the moment. (I buy it in bulk when it is on special). 

@Faith-and-Hope I do hope you are back really soon Hon - so very much missing you - our catch ups, your input, your friendship - all very much leving a hole in my life without you here. Hope you are safe and happy where you are  and life is a little less stressful for you. Hoping you will be home soon snd back here with us. Love and hugs from me, your neice nd nephew 🦋😺🐶💕🌹

Yes @Zoe7  same company for landline, mobile and internet. During fires when nbn was down for a week, I rang them. They offered a grest mobile deal to compensate foe lack of landline and internet. I told them to shove it. Our mobile reception here is crap, so the deal was useless to us. Need to climb on the roof and spin three times to find an intermittant signal half the time. Not impressed.

Good you got some nightmare-free sleep. Sorry aches and pains are thwarting todays plans.

That is a bugger about your signal there @Former-Member So much for greater and wider coverage hey - the telecommunications access, banking, health, education (and I could go on) are so ridiculously lacking - people do not matter!

Had another sleep and feel a little better. Still achey and tired but manageable. Will head out to the supermarket soon then start more sorting when I com back. Going to take it very slowly though as that seems to be mypace today ...and not at all surprising.

@Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @Snowie @Meowmy @Sans911 @Maggie @CheerBear @Scarecrowe and others following along...

Been working most of the afternoon. Having a break for now - had dinner and a lay down for half an hour. Watching cricket now before I summon up enough energy to keep going for a bit longer tonight.

Had a call from my sister whilst getting dinner. She has spent the day at the new house. Her partner turned up there last night. She told him to stay away from her and he did. Today he asked her opinion on something for the house and she told him she wasn't going to answer as he doesn't listen and then abuses her anyway. So she is setting some boundaries and is calmer today to deal with him. She also thanked me for helping her yesterday. She is going to start cleaning the house tomorrow but understands if I can't help as the timeframe that was expected was changed by her partner. I have said I don't think I will be able to help tomorrow but maybe will be able to Sunday. I don't want to be there if he is there though and I certainly do not want to be in the middle of any further tension or arguments. Yesterday was a hugely triggering afternoon and if I am going to get done what I want to get done these holidays I need to avoid such triggering situations. I will see how I go tonight and tomorrow and if I have not finished myself then I will give her a couple of hours on Sunday if he is not there (or even working outside so I don't need to interact with him at all).

Going to be off forum tonight to get more done but sending my love to everyone
