So today I feel happy about my husband starting his new job. I don’t know how long he will be able to stick it because he is dealing with a lot of pain in his arthritic knee but I am hopeful. The extra money certainly would be very helpful. I spoke to him when he was on his lunch break and he was hanging in there although he was in pain. He has to stand up all day so it’s not easy for him but he is only doing 3 days this week. 

My seedlings are doing well, especially my cucumbers. They are getting their fourth leaves. The carrots and garlic chives didn’t have a great germination rate so I only have a few of those up. Maybe I should plant some more? I do have another packet of carrot seeds.

I am waiting on my new seeds to germinate but I am not expecting to see them until probably the weekend. Hopefully I will get a better germination rate on those. They are in the greenhouse so staying nice and warm.

I have done a bit of crocheting this morning. I finished one yellow square and am halfway through another one. Then I will do the last two tomorrow. I crocheted 3 red squares yesterday, now I need to sew the ends in and block them. They are for a donation blanket for Perth Children’s Hospital. 

I have had a good day today, better than I expected. I thought I would be lonely with my husband off at work for the first time in nearly 3 years but I have coped well. I have been watching a bit of television while doing my crochet.

Overall I am having a good day. I need to put away the dishes and load the dishwasher before hubby gets home. I have made a bit of a mess today. I had a bacon sandwich for breakfast and had corn on the cob for lunch so I have made dishes. I want things to look half decent for when hubby comes home even though he is not bothered about that. He knows that housework is not one of my strengths.

I hope you are all having a good day. Anybody got anything fun on today?

So sorry that your back is still troubling you. It’s good that you made up an excuse to get you out of the work. It’s a shame that that didn’t work out. New house situation is so exciting. I would encourage you to respond to emails about settlement so you don’t lose your house.

Enjoy your drink. Sounds like you should make it a stiff one. Sorry about the lack of fun. Things will get better I promise x

Big congratulations to your hubby on his new job @Oaktree - very happy for you both.

It sounds like you have been keeping yourself busy and doing well too. It's quite the talent crocheting - may I ask what you are making?

Sounds like your planting is going well. Fresh cucumbers from the garden are so yum. Maybe you should plant some more seedlings such as the carrots if they didn't take.

I hope the rest of your day / evening goes well for you and your hubby and I look forward to chatting with you again soon.

Warm wishes,

FloatingFeather

Hi @FloatingFeather 

I am contributing some squares for an Aboriginal colours blanket. I previously made 20 squares and the first blanket is already completed but we are now trying to finish a second blanket in the same colours. These blankets are to donate to Perth Children’s Hospital to keep sick kids warm around the wards.

I hope you have a great evening too. I will see if I can upload a picture of the finished blanket.

Up to page 10. Going to keep reading but it would look to me that you have some healthy activities that your doing. I have no idea how you just joined a majong game with people you didnt know for a game you hardly knew, I would have been anxious as crazy, probably shaking significantly.

You must have a good support team around you, like you must have a good psychologist/psychiatrist etc and you must be paying good attention to them.

This is sorta the opposite of mine. Mine is a lot of trying to work through things, complaining, highlighting the more negative things. I get you would have difficult days that you chose not to dwell on on here but it is great to hear about all the positives. I dont see much in my life but its great to know they sill happen IRL
