I can’t cope

[Snowie]

I think you deserve to sleep well tonight @Captain24!!

Have you got many more shifts before Christmas? Do you shut down over this period?

Just the death of a family friend. Hits home a lot.

[tyme]

Oh! I didn't know that about indigestion in females. That's so interesting! Good to know though.

Arghh... leave the last few shirts. Trust me, they'll still be there when you look next time lol. 

I didn't think that getting a payout can be very costly for a service, so I'm not going down that path. SANE is not for profit. I'm not doing it for money. I just want to make it easier. So instead, I'm cutting hours and days here and there. I'm up to September. So yeah, some weeks I will only work 2-3 days and only a few hours. Oh well...

@Captain24 

Hey @Snowie ! How are you today? Are you busy preparing for your guests?

[Snowie]

Just a lot happening @tyme 

Won't repeat myself here.

[tyme]

All good @Snowie , I've just read up on it. Hugs

[Captain24]

I don’t go back until the 27th. We shutdown from 6pm Christmas Eve until 6pm Boxing Day @Snowie 

Im so sorry to hear that. It does hit hard. Do you want to talk about how it hits? 

[Captain24]

It was interesting @tyme 

They will still be there tomorrow. I can do them then. 

I didn’t think of that. Sorry for that suggestion. I guess being able to cut back is better for you than blocks off. 

Will you get through a lot of it? 

[tyme]

Don't be sorry. I didn't think of it either. My manager told me today. 

Yes, I definitely prefer to cut back and not take big blocks off. I will come back so lost. And I'll lose momentum - you know that feeling when you are doing something and you just don't want to lose the rhythm? @Captain24 

So what are your plans while you are off? Have you put some things in place to help you in terms of your MH? See your bestie? 

[Snowie]

Well at least you have a bit of time off @Captain24 I'm sure your dogs will love having you around more!

I know you've got the gathering with your family, but have you got anything to do for yourself? A bit of Captain time in there.

Thanks for the offer hon. They are at peace now.

[Captain24]

Yeah I do @tyme. especially if it’s something you enjoy. That hasn't happened a lot recently. 

Im just busy getting ready for Christmas. Cleaning, mowing, cooking. I don’t have much time for anything. I do have a psych appointment Christmas Eve though. I’ll try and find time to give her a call but Christmas is hard for her and I really don’t want to be involved in the drama. Last I heard her sister uninvited her for Christmas. 

So there’s really nothing I can do for myself. I have to have the house spotless so it’s not like I can do anything. Mum and dad will probably come around on Boxing Day too. So I just have to hope Boxing Day night is mine before I go to work the next night. I am really going to struggle

[Captain24]

My babies will love it @Snowie 

I don’t really have any me time in there anywhere. Hopefully Boxing Day night. That’s just hope. 

I’m glad they are at peace
