I'm sorry to read you've had a very difficult few days @NatureLover. I don't venture beyond this thread often now, so I'm not sure what's going of for you but listening if you feel like sharing here too.
So kind of you, @CheerBear 
I don't want to intrude into your thread too much, and anyway, I took a very long slow morning in bed thinking this morning, and I think I feel a little bit more peaceful. I'm sorry the grocery shopping is so stressful for you at the moment - it definitely would be, with a family to feed. Pancakes are yummy, but am sad that they are also a sign that things are tough. 😞 Wishing you much good luck at the supermarket and facing the struggle that shopping has become.
@Maggie - that's good the weather should be OK for your planting this weekend! Plants make me happy - living eager green things - so it makes me happy to think of you pondering where to put them, digging the hole, watering them in and sitting back happily to watch them settle in. I hope your pain is not too intrusive on that enjoyment for you. I have a jasmine that someone gave me that I need to plant out, too...
@Emelia8 hoping you feel those warm arms around you that your forum family are now happily able to provide again 🙂

So kind, @Maggie - you always warm my heart, thank you. You warm my heart too, @CheerBear and @Emelia8 .
I ought to have known you would've planted your natives already - you are such an early bird, @Maggie . (Probably you would prefer to sleep more and be less early, I realise 😞 ) I probably won't plant the jasmine today - too rainy, but it seems happy in its pot for now. I know where it will go - along the fence line, to climb up and aid with privacy.
Thank you for the coffee and your caring heart and s...I needed them this morning without realising. Sending you the warmest and gentlest hug I can, back to you @Maggie .
Thanks @Maggie ... and yes, the past 6 weeks have been really hard. Dealing with consequences etc, and remaining cut off from my usual support here. The sun is trying to poke its head through the clouds here now. Creating bit of warmth for my little doggie (who I will call Abbie from now on) to bask upon the deck. No diamond painting yet, but hopefully later. It sounds as though Mr Christian is being gentle and not pushy, which is great. I'm wondering if he may be either a Mormon or a JW? Although I have found that JWs tend to be very pushy, so I'm leaning more towards a Mormon or similar. I'm sure you can both learn something from each other. The important thing is that it seems he is non threatening and has his heart in the right place. Of course you do not need a Church to maintain your faith.
Ha ha, so sorry to hear about your trials and tribulation regarding your new laptop. Being locked out is not at all nice. Hope they sort that out for you quickly, and that it doesnt happen again.
@CheerBear.. Thanks, you are very kind, and its appreciated. My Diamond Painting is a fairly large one, and I was telling Maggie about it elsewhere. Its one that reminds me of Sane forums and the members here. I chose and bought it when I was feeling really down. It offers light and a feeling of tranquility. Its of a similar style to the picture on the Lived Experience main page where there is a picture with the Good Morning thread. Only my picture has water in it, but similar plants and colours around it. I will try to post a picture of it here ... not completed of course, as I have a long way to go. But a picture of the advertised product if I can.
Sorry to hear of one of the kids having an infection. Hope it clears up without a hospital visit, but of course if its needed, then dont hesitate.
Yes I get it about life being so tough for you all down there in Victoria right now. I cannot image it myself. So far, touch wood, we are doing well. But that can change very quickly, as evidenced by the Vic situation. Life seems so very stuffed up for the whole human race right now, and its hard to see a way through it all. I am happy to hear that Mr Person is doing a little better now. Sounds like it was fairly touch and go for a while there. You did everything right, and did what you needed to in order to keep him safe. I'm sure, when things settle, he will be back.
@NatureLover... Yeah 😊 ... I have been feeling some warm caring arms and hearts as they have been extended to me upon my return. Its so nice, and I am so very appreciative of people's understanding. Really sorry to hear that you had a bad day/morning ... hope you are feeling more on top of things now.
