Hi everyone xx
@Zoe7 I hope today goes smoothly for you hon, definitely agree a couple of new pics for the office desk is a good idea. Hang in there, thinking of you and sending you huge hugs xx
@Anastasia Oh hon I have my fingers, toes & eyes crossed for you that everything works out for your son. Definitely agree finding the right support can be emotionally harrowing, but if you get the right person and it clicks it makes things so much better. Sending you so many positive vibes and hugs xx
@Oaktree I hope you are starting to feel a bit better hon. Thinking of you and sending you big squishy bunny hugs xx
@Emelia8 Thinking of you too hon, hope the results of your tests come back with good news, big positive hugs xx
@Shaz51 I'm so glad you and Mr Shaz had a good day with the photography. Definitely sounds like a great distraction for him when the mania grips. I really miss it myself tbh, but I need a new camera and just don't have the money. I've really gotten into playing guitar again and I'm finding that's keeping me focused in a good way. Big hugs sweetie xx
@Faith-and-Hope I hope things go smoothly for your first day back at work too hon. Sending you big positive hugs xx I honestly am so glad I'm on a DSP at the moment. I'm not sure I could handle the whole lockdown on, lockdown off stress constantly on top of everything else.
And yes totally agree about Narcs getting worse with age. I've dealt with it my whole life and am only truly starting to understand how destructive and how much carnage it's caused throughout my life. 3 of my 6 brothers have NPD also (the others married narc women and are enablers and mum's flying monkeys), one of whom is a malignant narcissist & violent alcoholic and hates me with a passion even though I have never done anything to deserve his wrath. Apparently he hated the fact that I was born and born female and his hatred for me grew from there. He's bullied me my entire life, tried to assault me in the past (hence me learning martial arts to protect myself and knowing right where to kick him!) and of course he is Narc mum's favourite and the other boys are her pride and joys, so of course I am ALWAYS to blame for EVERYTHING in the family. The scapegoat and black sheep even though I'm the only one that does anything for her.
I seriously want out, but due to financial reasons I'm stuck there looking after her and having to deal with the rest of the sh*theads when they come to visit which thankfully is rarely. That's the only thing I'm thankful about with lockdown is it keeps them away. I am just living for the day she finally passes, she's 87, and I can sell the house my father left me and buy a unit somewhere, change my phone number and my name to my father's mother's maiden name and go no contact with the lot of them. The thought of finally being free is the only thing that keeps me going some days.

Hi all, hope you are all doing well and dealing with the various lockdowns okay. Sending you all big hugs xx
I'm going to try and get a bike ride in before I vacuum the house and then have a noodle around on the guitar. Still cold & wet here in country Vic. Will not be whining about the heat this summer, I've barely felt warm all winter! Take care all xx

Hi to anyone else around ..... ๐โ๏ธ๐
I am slowly making headway with the house. The extended lockdown gave me courage to approach cleaning out the pantry cupboard last night, even though theee are boxes everywhere waiting to put things in storage that got dumped on me by the ex ..... and more from a good delivery yesterday that I had to re-package to fit everything into the fridge. I had cooked a big pot of soup from scratch, so ended up having some for dinner, then putting the rest into a jug so it took up much less room.
Studies have started again. I have set up a new drawing / painting space in the corner of my bedroom to take pressure off my lounge and dining area. That worked well for my online class yesterday ๐.
I sm going to change some floor mats around today if I can. I have to pack up a stack inf unwanted books first, and move a heavy coffee table, but it will be worth it ..... still trying to find 'my' home amongst the ruins of what we had here before, but getting there in baby steps.
