@Powderfinger , I'm so glad you're going to start taking better care of yourself, and to be kinder to yourself rather than measuring yourself by your high expectations. My friend tells me over and over again that "self-care is not selfish" and that was something I really needed to hear. I can relate about doing the chairs as self-care but neglecting other parts of self-care. Even if this lead with the bloke doesn't work out for whatever reason, you can still run @Powderfinger's Repair and Restoration Service through Facebook on your own bat. 🙂 Best wishes.
