Night Shift

Sounds interesting @Faith-and-Hope. The whole culture of baths is kind of fascinating really. And all before chlorine 😂  I wonder if they used anything to help with hygiene, are they salt?

Glad you are feeling relaxed. I guess it's harder to be taken down by others moods when there's something new and interesting every day to distract you. I suppose there are days that it's still hard when lots are tired and frustrated though. 

Weather 36 and humid here today but I didn't really manage to go outside 😏:face_with_rolling_eyes:

Have you got all your boys back yet @Former-Member?

[plasmo]

yeah i'd like to do more of it, like long hikes. i keep dreaming about putting shoes on, they say it's about personal direction. i really think i need to try new things.

[Former-Member]

Why don't you plan a long walk @plasmo. Break it down into steps so it seems real and achievable, well that's the advice I keep getting. It works for some things for me. Have you got a friend you could do a hike with? 

[Faith-and-Hope]

Sounds good @plasmo .... I really hope you take it on .... look forward to hearing ..,,

Yes @Former-Member ..., so thankful for the distractions .... really helps. Spa water is high salt, so very high buoyancy, and high in many other minerals as well, which are it's therapeutic properties. Even at its ocean outlet it doesn't smell, where some thermal waters turn the nose and need treatment to make them more "palatable" ...., also at their source these waters are 80deg C .... very hot !

Hi @Former-Member .... 😊👋

@Neb .... not sure if we've met before ..., memory gets a bit iffy at times ....

[plasmo]

i've done a few long ones, thinking of joining a group

[Faith-and-Hope]

Woo-hoo .... go @plasmo .... !
That sounds really good, on a lot of levels ....

Sounds great @plasmo. It would be good for you I think. Having something organised helps. I did a fitness class last term, it was really basic and supportive which I needed, but just having to turn up helped heaps as no thinking or planning or motivation much required on my side.

The baths sound amazing @Faith-and-Hope. I had heard a bit about them but never really thought more beyond that they existed until just then.

Hi ya nice to hear your voice too @Faith-and-Hope 😊.
@Former-Member, yes 🍻 of that kind! Plus it's very hot. I hope cool change does come. I have not my boys home yet. Next week. Just lil man who has become a handful one on one!
Actually just been replaying a conversation I had tonight about domestic violence etc...it's subtle nature even when I'm the thick of it.
Maybe being around family too, triggered my feelings to think more given past history etc.
