Hope everyone is surviving
Feeling weirdly ok today..I made fancy cocktails and we drank them sitting in the garden this evening (i'm not really a cocktail person but I really enjoyed making them). I found two beautiful art deco cocktail glasses in a charity shop for 50p each which made it all feel extra special too.
I felt for a moment like I was on holiday - a normal relaxing holiday! It was brief but pleasant, with occasional, fleeting thoughts of 'who do youu think you are, sipping cocktails when your world is on fire?!', but I'm getting better at shutting those thoughts down pretty quickly.
No real plans for the weekend. Gym, boring house stuff. Tempted not to bother with any of it and just drive to the coast for the day. Must be the cocktails! And the pretty sandals are getting a lot of wear too with this lovely weather.
The sadness is still very much there, it just feels like I've left it in another room.
Hope you all have a peaceful weekend x

Hi Starr,
That sounds lovely, I think that's what we need to do isn't it, grasp the bits of positivity we can and try to find relaxation and enjoyment (within the fire/ living in fear etc)
We have been on holiday in Turkey and it has been so nice to have family time and fun/ relaxation, even though this still keeps popping back into my mind of course.
Hope everyone is well xxx

Hi,
Busy morning cooking 16 curries (make them for friends every other week)... having a sit down before finishing them off..
Another up and down week, we tend not to talk about it at the moment... but found some things out about how hard my son was finding things in his last year at high school and can see now why he has found himself where he is... nothing we can do now so just got to move forward..
Anyhow back to my onions and paste... get them delivered and then a few pints this afternoon.. at least the football has started again.
Take care all...

Just a normal weekend here - although with the imminent plea hearing he has finally started thinking about making plans for if the worst should happen at sentencing. He's adding me to his bank accounts so they are in joint names, and swapping things like household insurances into my name.
Tomorrow daughter No3 and I are going along to her wedding venue to meet with the coordinator and work out timings etc, then we can look at ordering invites - less than a year to go! She's getting very excited!
Been into town this morning and may do some crochet this afternoon as it's not as hot today
Wishing everyone peace and light this weekend xx

Hey
Hard one this week, my person is moving out tomorrow... for good. Court is on monday. Not sure whether to go or not... want the closure but dont want to be associated with it. Scared for the media outcome, not only going to conquer living alone for the first time in my life but also with the threat of whatever may be coming
Just started making a meal plan and shopping list for the week. We always do this together but here I am, will be buying for just one. Lots of change coming and I feel a very sad week coming!

Well, the awful soap opera of my life has continued with even more crap plot twists. My ex husband was due to be moved out over a week ago but couldn't because he was really ill with the flu. Now its developed into serious digestive issues and he's currently in hospital while they get to the bottom of it. They suspected an obstructed or twisted bowel, but now think its some form.of colitis. I'm hoping that it doesnt come to surgery (he's on a surgical assessment ward). If it does, it'll extend his recovery. I feel like he can't go to his elderly mums to recover - she's not even looking after herself properly let alone him, but i can't have him here much longer. I can't take much more. My friends are pressuring me with their opinions as to where he goes when he's discharged, and right now I feel like I just want to run away.
A day in the garden is very much needed!
