~ R U OKAY? Maybe not, but I’m surviving ~

Re: ~ R U OKAY? Maybe not, but I’m surviving ~

Hey @Jynx @tyme @Captain24

My boss at work shouted us all coffees and that was kind of it. I don’t find it triggering it just can be tokenistic great in theory but when there’s no genuine follow up or intent to follow up it doesn’t sit all that right with me. Enjoyed the coffee and the encouragement to wear a yellow hat/socks etc but now that I think of nobody actually asked if I was ok.

My win was not losing my cool I felt myself blowing my top and was just honest that I needed to go and do something that wasn’t work, house jobs, with my family or with the dog. I went down the beach and had a quick dip then home again. I feel a lot more refreshed having done that even though I hate having to do it sometimes I need to get away from demands i need moments where people aren’t needing me

Being here is absolutely a win @Shaz51 - it's always so splendid when you're around 💜

Re: ~ R U OKAY? Maybe not, but I’m surviving ~

Well done for knowing your limits today @ArraDreaming. It’s so good that you took some time for yourself.

Re: ~ R U OKAY? Maybe not, but I’m surviving ~

Yessss nice one @ArraDreaming it is so important to take time to ourselves and just enjoy the moment. And the beach is a perfect place to do that, definitely a win 💜

Re: ~ R U OKAY? Maybe not, but I’m surviving ~

Hey @ArraDreaming ,

 

So your boys on holidays next week? Or is it a bit later?

Re: ~ R U OKAY? Maybe not, but I’m surviving ~

@tyme Yeah last day for big kid #1 tomorrow, middle kid is at home so holidays every day, (we pulled him out of daycare)
I will not be having a break though causd I just had 4 weeks of work, so no holiday for me for long while 😞😞
I’m really fatigued and just quite frankly done with everything and need some time out (still with my family.)

anyway! I won’t take over this thread talking about myself hey.
