Life and trauma

@Ru-bee @MJG017 @Oaktree @avant-garde I'm here. I'm ok. I'm sorry.

@Former-Member 

It’s ok, you are entitled to take a break. Nothing to be sorry for. Glad that you are ok

[Former-Member]

@Oaktree I'm sorry that i made everyone worry. It's been a really rough 48 hours and I'm by no means in a good way. I'm here and I'd love to chat if anyone wants to. I'm sorry again.

There's no need to be sorry, we all know you're having a very difficult time. Even I have days like that where I just need to be by myself for a while.  I have no idea if this is normal, but I definitely understand anyone wanting to do it.  Sometimes I just find it too hard to be around anyone.  Old habits I guess.

I'm around most of the day if you want to chat.  I'm just about to go to the shop and get something for lunch.  Which i've left very late again... as always. 😁  I was supposed to go down at about 11am, but youtube doesn't watch itself, and the couch doesn't sit on itself. 😂

@MJG017 i just couldn't even focus on anything. But I appreciate everyone's concern and I'm thankful to everyone who has tagged me to check in. 

What are you going to get for lunch? 

Lounging around and watching youtube sounds like a great way to spend the day.

@Former-Member 

It is a great way to spend the day, but not very productive or good for the mood in the long run.  But you know how it is... so much time to pass each day, you can't be productive for all of it!

We found a Foodland not too far away that has a really nice deli counter.  I got some rice and it was really nice, so I thought i'd go back and get some more.

@Former-Member 

Any yes, i haven't left yet... still procrastinating! 🤣  Do what you do best I say.

[Former-Member]

@MJG017 maybe not so productive but sometimes it's good to just chill and relax. How's the Lego building going? 

Oohh that sounds yummy, some of the foodlands have got some really good stuff. I tried to get hot cross buns today but my woolies store was out of the ones I wanted.

Hey @Former-Member @MJG017 just sending you both some 💜💜

Sorry it's been so hard @Former-Member and I wish you much softness and ease ahead, wherever it can be found 🤞

Chats always on the table if either of you want em! 😊

@Former-Member 

The stupid shop didn't have the rice, and didn't know when they were getting any more!  I did get a very nice apple danish though.

I only have 2 more bags for me Lego Lambo to go.  I'll upload a photo of the finished product soon.  It's a bit hard to get time to do it with a kitten running around.  A table full of little plastic objects is like kitten-heaven! 🤣

So I sat on the couch, watched some youtube, ate my danish... and fell asleep! 👴💤  

But fear not, i'm now being very productive!  A support group i joined when I was first diagnosed talked me into being the guest speaker at the meeting next week.... on computers.  I mean, where so I even start?!  It's so 'old people' to just say tell us about computers!  This is what they think a prostate cancer support group should be, and the reason I started one for younger guys.  So i'm preparing a presentation an AI demo for them.  Restoring and enhancing photos, animating them, all that sort of fancy stuff.  I'm only going and only doing it because the guest speaker has traditionally gotten a box of chocolates for coming.  So i had better get mine!
