I had a good day, if not a little unsteady - weekends can be a toss up - and then my oldest GrandBoy called and it was on! :) What a great kid! I just love that he is has gotten to the stage where he can chatter up a storm with me. At 13yr you would think he would be getting to the point it be the opposite but nah he was never much of a talker, now you can hardly get us off the phone. The other boys they don't so much right now and that's okay, so it works out great. My Son and Daughter-IL are so pleased because he is being a bit of pill with them and this way they know he is still on track somewhat.

It touches me more than I have words for. My extended family at that age meant the world to me. I know he is going through a tough time right now so I'm just hoping I can let him know he is loved.
 
I'm feeling incredibly lonely and very sad.

Today I got a surprise visit from a friend who had been my neighbour for a number of years and him and his wife we became very close friends and their kids were friends with mine. They left for Shanghai about 4 years ago. He is on a very quick visit to Sydney to see his ailing mother and he bought the 2 daughters along too.

He is so easy to talk to and he was telling me lots about their new life in Shanghai. It is all working so great for them, so happy for them. They were the closest friends I had over here. But I could not really talk about the separation, although I have talked with his wife on skype and told her lots. I know he knows the details, but it wasn't right to talk about it.

He left after a short visit and I felt so incredibly alone, I couldn't stop crying. Sydney is such a lonely place.

Oh well, the start of a new week. I am feeling beaten down. I have some stuff to do For my solicitor and it means going over my accident. My mind is stuck in accident mode, I'm triggered again at seeing emergency vehicles.
 
(((((((KP)))))))

A little mantra that helped me when I was going back over the trauma was, "that was then, this is now." I don't know if that will be of any help at all, but it couldn't hurt and may help to keep you grounded in the present.

Today I feel...

loving and affectionate
weak and tired
a little frustrated
calm and happy
a bit of "brain fog"
 
I am feeling better this afternoon.

Helping others always gives me a boost. I have taken an elderly lady to and from her day centre, she is lovely, like a breath of fresh air. When I took har home, there was a window cleaner next door. I know my lady has been looking for a window cleaner. We asked for a quote and the price of £7 was quoted, she has fewer windows than I have. I quibbled the price for her and got them down to £6, it does make me cross when people try to rip off the elderly.
