Blend-in-bear @CheerBear  😂😂😂

Its not easy facing power from a ‘ beneath my feet’ attitude from them @CheerBear , but they can’t keep getting away with it either, it adds to their power. I have my counsellor backing me all the way, and standing in the gap kind of thing. Is red flag warning from support worker intimidating also, it would be for me?? She/he is there to support you, in your choices. I’m annoyed by that.

Yes, lots of unpacking. No hot water for some reason. Will have to look for the hidden switch. Slowly will be the rest of the week. Need to buy washing machine and microwave, but no hurry atm, or til I run out of undies. 😂😂

@CheerBear  The pic I put up was meant for this thread, sorry. I hope it’s ok over there.

My head is foggy as atm.

[CheerBear]

Lol with the undies @Maggie! Ouch re the washing machine - that's an expense 😖

Thanks for acknowledging that the red flag warning could feel that way. I thought it too. A warning like that felt a bit like playing in to the power and intimidation, though I worked hard to see it as a reminder that I should be mindful of taking too much on. I'm glad you have your counsellor with and for you. She's awesome 💪

No hot water sucks. There's a lot of adjusting to a new house 😏 Slowly sounds like a super plan 👍😊

I'm sure the pic will be more than OK there and that @Teej and others will appreciate it either way, as I did ❤

I better fly. I made a big oopsies and took one of my psych meds instead of a pain relief one this morning (full banana brain moment!). Reeeeally hoping it doesn't stuff with my head too much today. Shower might help.

So good to see you this morning in your new place. Great start to the day 😁 You did it and made it to where you are today 🎉

Enjoy slow ❤

Here's one from me @Maggie 

And a house warming one I meant to drop off at your doorstep yesterday 😉

Sending warm wishes @CheerBear  and @Maggie   Hope there are less battles in today.  Annoyed on your behalf both of you about landlord bulls#!t and being stuffed around.  Such power trippers.

Good morning @Maggie and @CheerBear   😊🌼

I very much admire the pair of you 🥉 so brave and so resilient 🏆

Happy to hear that your specialist apt went well yesterday Maggie, and that the move went swimmingly despite you not being there to complete it.  Sounds like little Mags was left in good hands.  And how nice to hear she loves her new morning outlook ... from the bed of course.  🤣  I hope you have a chance today to settle in, unpack a few essentials, and generally get the feel of the place over the coming days.  Oh ... and to sort out the lack of hot water too.  Hope you have found the hidden switch by now.

Some house warming gifts from me too @Maggie  including one for little Mags.

Sherry 💕

And lastly .... who can resist some sparkles and a bit of bling for Mags to show off in during walks in the new neighbourhood.

Love that quote @CheerBear. The house warming gift is awesome.  😍😍 Thankyou.

Hope the meds oopsie is okish. 💜💜

@eth  Thankyou. Hope it all works out for both of us ....eventually. Landlords.!!!!!!

Hope you are travelling okish, will check sometime in the coming days. Some of these for you today. 💕💕☕️☕️

[Maggie]

@Former-Member  There might be some competition for the glitter here I think. Boots or collar...or both. 😂😂

Thankyou, they are beautiful gifts. Yes, slowly unpacking and finding things. I found the hidden hot water switch, so I might head to the shower. No more grass po,ice to worry about.

I will catch up,on your news later. Hope the fire situation is easing and home is ok enough. Sending 💜💜 and ☕️☕️☕️🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶

Hi and best wishes to you too @Former-Member  x

[CheerBear]

Super frustrated here after a jolty wake up at very ridiculous o'clock. I've been trying to go back to sleep for the best part of an hour but no luck. My head is stuck with worries and it's keeping me awake. Too early for getting up as I'll be wrecked for the day, but too late to take prn for sleep 😑 Insomnia sucks.

Dropping off ☕ for anyone who'd like one. @Maggie wondering how your day was yesterday. Hoping you're sleeping or resting ❤.
