  1. I've had, and still have, some thorny stuff to deal with. But today I woke up and became so very conscious of the warm sunshine and buzzing of life in my garden, and decided to let it take hold of me, and go slow, and breathe.. The nicest thing I've done today was to go and check out a family-run fruit and veg wholesaler with a local friend - much safer, cheaper, and friendlier than shopping in the supermarkets or high-street stores (my friend has had some bad experiences as an older, small, disabled WoC recently). The sunshine, peacefulness, and the vibrancy of fresh growth and earthy nourishment were balmy. Tonight, I'm doing just enough self care to feel happy and loved in myself, and will either chat online with any friends who are available or go and enjoy some music and a safe space inworld, or both.
  2. I...missed this... Anyone want to fill me in?
  3. (it's been a rollercoaster. I'm good. I've done this before.)
  4. Headbonks and snuzzles for anyone who needs them x
  5. I've not heard much BOC beyond 'that beloved song'. An Elven Queen (not SL) sent me this.
  6. We should all sing this to ourselves, as a prayer x
  7. Just look at what y'all are doing to me xx
  8. My ex texted me today to say our youngest daughter (8) has the first symptoms. The three of them are going into two week's minimum quarantine. I spent this afternoon shopping round for the supplies and medicines they don't already have, and had to drop round and leave them in the conservatory without getting to cuddle my babies. I'll be talking to them every day though, and finding online games and activities as a way of 'being with them' as much as I can xx
  9. Warmth, Love and Hope to you all at Ostara xx
  10. Seems my day job (now closed) has decided I'm still booked and can call me in but they don't have to pay me in the meantime.. hoping that won't be a problem if I have to apply for benefits. I'll definitely be pursuing other avenues rather than waiting around for empty promises. I didn't survive this far to be screwed over by comfy-arsed dullards My friend's daughter decided to stay put in London, so I'm going over to see my friend on Sunday, to take some supplies, help with some gardening and veg planting, and celebrate Ostara round her firepit with food, wine, stories and chat ❤️ Things alarming me: people assuming they will avoid the virus and putting all their energy and preparation into that, not spreading it, and not getting bored at home....rather than sharing info about how to look after yourself and others once you're ill, breathing exercises we could all be doing to help prepare, endure and recover, advice for and from those with pre-existing respiratory illnesses (that could help people like the twitter friend I chatted with last night who just discovered they've contracted pnuemonia and corona at the same time, with a sick child to look after, and can't get through to medical support via the services in their area), how to maintain our immune systems etc. Mental health and self care under quarantine should definitely be way up there in the priority list, but I'd like to see a lot more sharing and support aimed at the fact that most of us, and some more than others, really are going to get ill with this virus, and there are a wide range of reasons why people will struggle with or be impacted by it in different ways. Me: feeling stretched, and having to throw my focus this way and that, constantly checking for info and certainty in all corners. My self care prep is 'kinda there', but it seems like background to staying alert to a multitude of possibilities that will be whittled down as more information and reality becomes available. Tonight, I have wine, for possibly the last time in a while, and a mellow herb. Might go inworld a little later.
  11. "There may also be arguments over going out or staying in.."...ya don't say..
