You are so allowed to feel sorry for yourself! Hang in there 🙂

I am so sorry you are going through this :(

Please take all the time you need to rest, whenever and as long as you need guilt free! Naps are wonderful and sleeping all day is ok if that's what you need. Be selfish about it, you take care of you. The dishes, family and social pressures be damned, it is about you, and you can get through this 🙂

I am good, thanks. Enjoying a really warm September before the bitter cold sets in. Trying to get my greenhouse build somewhat weather proof and update the kitchen at the same time but getting a bit burnt out with it all. My own fault for wanting it all done now, lol. How are you?

Beautiful! Hope you are doing ok :)

I have a seed stash and starter plants, it was just too late to start this year. There are some inspirational houses in the neighborhood to get ideas from too, I just happen to be immediately surrounded by concrete and perfect lawn guys but there are like minded people here which is encouraging.

Just googled it and it may grow here (zone 3) I will look into it more, thanks!

I am wanting to start wildflowers out front next spring. I have only been in this house since May so have been collecting plants and working on getting all the raised beds and fences sorted first. I am surrounded by concrete and lawns but am already becoming the neighborhood bird and bug hang out.

They fine you? eek! I don't let it get too out of hand, just enough so the neighborhood perfect lawns guys might notice. I am also new to the house and have a lot going on, raised beds, new fence, severely cut back hedge, greenhouse build, so they have no idea where I am going with it all :)

Glad you are feeling a bit better :)

How are you doing?

I got a great piece of advice when I was having to make serious health decisions, and that was to journal it all. Why you made decisions, frustrations, thoughts, weird comments people make, etc. It was overwhelming and in case I forgot bits and questioned myself later I have a record. It helped.

That's the fun part 😁

It might be a relief to let people know 🙂

I looked at prices of kits and the one I loved was over $30,000!! I have been buying bits for a couple of years when I get coupons etc. so it will be as inexpensive as I can and still get what I want. Today I am figuring out roof angles, should have paid more attention in school all those years ago!

Having a person to simply check to see how you are, or if you need anything, can be so comforting. I really hope you find the help you need. I now, sadly, expect to cope by myself so when somebody is there it is a joy, and that mostly came from people I least expected it from. You can do this!
