Hi @Crazy_Bug_Lady,
Some not-so-good news there with working more. But great to hear you had a good day anyway with Killi. It's not surprising you felt like a proud mum. Congrats on the milestone. ![]()
Honestly, a not so fun day here today, slept a lot of it, gut is a bit upset, and feeling headachy. I've been half-heartedly on the computer trying to do some video editing but I keep losing energy for what I'm working on. Unmotivated and bored at the same time. It's been raining all day so didn't go to the beach, or leave the flat. There's been good moments amongst it anyway, a few laughs and hugs with partner, and chat. We get on very well and peacefully most of the time, which is really a blessing on any day.

Hi @Mazarita,
Sorry to hear you are struggling, i think when we come off addictive substances we feel flat because we are not getting the endorphin chemicals flooding into our system, this also affects how lethargic we become, these are just short term side effects, they will go away.
Stay strong @Mazarita, you are doing yourself and your life style a lot of good. 🙂
take care
Jacques

@Mazarita how are you? I hope that you are starting to feel better at this stage? though feeling flat for a while is to be expected...

Hi @Fancy_Pants, yes I do feel better today, thanks. I'm sure the table and chairs will look lovely when you have done the staining. It will be rewarding to see your own handiwork.
I've been video editing intensively for the past two days and have completed another short poetry piece (unfortunately can't share due to anonymity requirements). I've really enjoyed doing it. Now I'm taking time out to recover and relax. Another indoorsy Sunday. This week that feels fine.

Quite a cruisy Sunday happening here... Its reasonably warm, Im tired, so just chilling out.
Although it has occured to me today that Im the closest I have been to 'civilisation' in 4 years yet I am more isolated and lonely than ever before. An interesting though that I am trying not to over-analyse. Its alot harder to make friends as an adult... Hoping if I get accpetance into uni this will change...
Hope everyone is doing okay.
