How are you today thread (trigger warning)

Thank you everyone for birthday wishes. We really appreciate them.

We are hoping maybe cake tomorrow but no one is really getting hopes up. Maybe we can do what someone here suggested and get a cake later when home. That would be ok. It's just hard because we can't drive so we can't get groceries on our own. ):

We can't drive either. Do your supermarkets have a home delivery service there? How do you usually get food in? ..or how about a takeaway treat...places like pizza takeaway, McDonalds etc do home delivery and sometimes have 'puddings' too on their menu?

Hi every1. Thank you 4 being nice. We did get cake so we r happy. Or were.

Rn it is very bad and the internal safety crew is activated bc there's a lot of emotional bleedover from a SI part. I think they want to go home and have reached the limit of being with bad people ):

We got some nice things from friends 4 birthday tho. I just worry we r worrying friends... I told them we r OK n safe but. I still feel bad 4 even saying it is bad.

We go home tomorrow. So it will be ok.

We've had a rough night with very little sleep. Child B and Kit had high levels of anxiety and stress and this made blood pressure high and Tinnitus horrendous! Never got to 'deep sleep' stage all night so exhausted today. ..but don't want to sleep too much in day otherwise we'll have the same problems again tonight!

They have agreed to go deep inside away from the front for a week. Juno has swapped places with Kit (as adviser) as a changeling and holder of mother's past life memories she can help us with portraying a calm and appropriate exterior this week whilst we deal with the workmen, the covid jab and a funeral going on next door! (a neighbour seemed to suggest they'd be expecting us to go pay our respects and may want to use our driveway for family and friends to park).

However we don't know where the funeral is (crematoria or graveside church) and can't get there with such short notice especially as we have no idea when the covid home vaccination team are going to turn up. (They just book you in for that week and turn up when they have time).

We'll have to manage without a food shop until we know when the funeral will be as other neighbours/her family would no doubt be annoyed if the cars couldn't get along front of the house because our food shop was being brought in! (cos no-one had told us when it was going to be before we had booked it)..so Juno and I are just putting together a meal plan for the week as microwave will have to be unplugged too when the men are painting the ceiling so we won't be able to do our dinner at the usual time and have no idea what time/day the nurses are going to turn up to do the vaccine.

It would just be better for all if Child B and Kit are deep inside so we can function better on the outside, though they will help us clear the kitchen worktops first tomorrow after we've done dinner. Hopefully this works and helps us get through the week easier and less stressed!

Does seem like the season for everything to go wrong lately and people to be having a tough time of things! Hope everyone is ok?

We've managed to clear the area under the ceiling damage for tomorrow, we just need the painter to turn up on time and be quick! We're all tired..another bad night last night not getting off to sleep until well after 3am.

We have some leftover stew and a bread roll for tomorrow and have had the microwave moved into the front room so we can reheat it. It will do for dinner tomorrow.

Myself (Jay), Sioux and Juno will blend tomorrow...up early get Mr Woof walked and back to wait for the painter to turn up. They won't give an exact time but the guy will text when he's on his way so we can't be miles away in a field with the dog!

Hopefully it won't take too long, they're talking about powercuts tomorrow night (wasn't supposed to start until after xmas!) or people voluntarily using less power as apparently the Grid is worried because of the big England match.

So I've got the emergency lights and powerbanks charging...just in case! ...may have to move the kettle into another room too so we can get boiling water into flasks so we've got drinks ...in case they turn power off when the guy is still finishing up and before we get chance to plug the kettle back in to make a cuppa and fill some hot water bottles! ..like we need any extra stress this week!
