I like the idea of two new photos for your desk space too @Zoe7 ..... and a special place at

home for the two you have had there ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿพ .  


I start again tomorrow, and I don't feel ready.  It has coincided with the new lockdown, throwing everything into a bit of chaos, but the online systems are all there and operational, so we just have to get used to the switch when it happens like this.

 

I have spent the day clearing out my second bedroom which had become a junk pile.  Before I could do that I had to clean up the storeroom downstairs that had become someone else's junk pile before they took off o/s.  I did that part before I left for the west, so Stage 2 is now done.  The place needs a good vacuum after classes tomorrow.

 

Good for you, getting the floor done.  Maybe you can paint a portrait of Cat when you're ready ...... ๐Ÿ’œ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿฆ‹

 

Lisening along here @bipolarbunny.  Soooo feel for you.  My narc MIL stayed with us at times, but I reckon they get worse as they get older and "supply" runs thin ..... they have to suck you dry harder cos you're "it" ..... if they haven't discarded and left by then, making themselves someone else's problem.  It is really hard on the heart-strings, understanding that it is an MI so they ought to be given empathy, but they are so programmed to cause heartache and distress you really have to had iron-clad boundaries.  It helped me to hear counsellors say tbat they still have a choice ..... they still choose to behave tbe way  they do, and they choose not to seek help for their condition.  Self-care, self-care, self-care for you โฃ๏ธ  I can't wait to hear when you get that time to yourself.

 

Hi and hugs @Emelia8 ..... still sitting with you Hon ๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž
