FAR AND AWAY

Thanks for the tag

So good to see you back @Faith-and-Hope 

How are things going in your life?

[Faith-and-Hope]

I am taking a breather from my studies for a few months @Snowie .  2025 was a really difficult year, and I am still picking up the pieces from the legal dramas of the few years before that.  I am need up quite sick with a cold, and need to rest up to get over that …. My body and brain are both telling me to slow down.  Much easier said than done sometimes.  Basically I am getting up in the morning and “having a day”, working at something for as long as I feel able to, then resting up again.  Still, it’s progress.  The place is tidying up by degrees.

How are you going ?  Kids back to school / other ?

Hi @Faith-and-Hope 

It sounds like you know what you and your body need hon. Recognising that isn't easy, so big well done.

You are right, however small/big it is, it is progress. A step in the right direction.

For the first time in 15 years, no kids at school! Both working/studying now. Don't miss doing the school run and getting stuck in all the traffic!

[Faith-and-Hope]

Ooh yes, I didn’t miss all the traffic dramas, or getting dressed on the way to school for some, lol.

Heya @Faith-and-Hope !

You must be a busy bee! So good to see you around!

[Faith-and-Hope]

The day was kind to me @Snowie 🙏♥️

I managed a nap in the middle of the day, and out for dinner tonight with some people I don’t know very well, but it was okay 😏

Howzit going @Zoe7 ?

It has been a very hectic year. The kids are great but we have some challenges as a class @Faith-and-Hope @tyme @Snowie @Eve7 @Appleblossom @Shaz51  I have one little cherub who takes up a lot of time. I have help from an aid some of the time but he really needs someone with him all day. I had a couple of hours off for a medical appointment a couple of weeks ago and my ass principal took the class ...she did not have someone with him at that time and found it a little difficult to manage so understands the challenge. Thankfully, anytime there is a free lesson with relief staff is being offered to me to help out so I am grateful for that. On top of that I had an accident  earlier in the year with a collapsing ladder and badly sprained my ankle so getting around has been hard. It is healing now but I need a brace for another few weeks to stabilise the ankle. As you could imagine, it is frustrating for me as I cannot do a lot around the house but I am usually too tired after work anyway. Pleased to have the Easter break to catch up on some work and have a break from the kids (they are gorgeous but it certainly has been a mentally straining year so far).

I hope everyone is doing as okay as they can be and there is some light in your days ❤️

Hi @Zoe7 , it is lovely to hear from you as I miss seeing you around the forums.

It looks like a very busy year for you and I’m sorry about your ankle. Hope it continues to heal.

I’m off to Europe in a couple of weeks for a river cruise and a quick trip to London and Wales. Starting to get excited!

Take care ❤️
