Good morning

It's so wonderful to read the support @Appleblossom @cloudcore @greenpea @Anastasia @Shaz51  are providing to each other.  

 

I wanted to answer the original questions but now I can't remember, lol!

I'll try

1.  I'm at around a 5 - middling.  I'm just weary tired.

2.  My son who lives with OCD and Schizophrenia just started a job recently, lots of support provided from me to get him through the application process etc, but he did the work and the interview and I am super proud.  But he's only 4 weeks in and he's persisting with his intention to relocate to a city 4 hours away next year because his girlfriend is moving there to go to dance school.  I feel so frazzled, I want to pull my hair out!  Getting a job and any kind of income is tough at the best of times, but at least here he has the support of his community.  I don't think he's ready to leave yet, he's only 17 and got some maturing to do.  I'm worried about him.  I decided to take the day off work today - some self care/a wellbeing day.

3.  I have decided to return to Uni study next year, time to focus on my goals for a while hey?  I've spent the last 2.5 years putting all 3 of my boy's needs first through their various serious episodes of ill health.
