i have much ow.

i love my work and am grateful for that. but no one should have to force themselves to work through pain. no one should have to push themselves too far for fear of what will happen if they don't (or even if they do).

somehow the balance of this world must shift towards a more caring, compassionate, and nurturing society. somehow we must keep trying to make that happen.

to anyone else struggling today (and just to anyone else), i leave you with this breath of nature. a window into a place of peace that i hope can at least ease your soul, even if not your body.

take good care of you, all of you.

@moonrabbit What a lovely tree. I'm sorry work is causing/exacerbating so much pain.

@RolloTreadway thank you. it wouldn't be quite so bad if i didn't need my hands. sigh.
and it is so very lovely ... one of the few things i will miss awfully when we eventually manage to move. it's down the lane in a more or less abandoned garden, but i can see it from the window where i sit. (it's very big plus we're higher up that its garden, so i can see much of the leafiness on one side.)

how has your sunday been? have you got all the busy done?

@moonrabbit Perhaps when you move, there will also be lovely trees in your new place. Perhaps that's why you haven't been able to move yet, the trees are trying to get the ideal spot for you.

I've done all the busy but I'm so tired. I suspect work may also prove to be very problematic for me.

@RolloTreadway oh my 🥹
that is the loveliest thing thank you. i will think of that now when i despair at the not moving. thank you 🌳

i'm glad you got the things done, but sorry it's exhausted you. and i'm sorry about the potential for unpleasantness tomorrow too. have you got a nice lunch to look forward to maybe?
sending you much strength to get through it. and much peace to sleep tonight.

@moonrabbit I've been a bit anxious about lunch tonight because I don't have many leftover meals in the freezer. But I do have something for tomorrow.
@RolloTreadway oh i'm glad. at least that's one day sorted. i hope you find some easy solutions for the others too. have you got sandwichy bits?
@moonrabbit I'm sorry you're in pain. Hopefully we'll create a kinder world soon.

@somcak thank you  and i hope so.

how are you? how's your week-end been?

@moonrabbit I've been good. We spent yesterday mostly napping in bed. Today we watched 2 really bad movies and are now watching American football.
@somcak that sounds most excellent indeed for a week-end 
@moonrabbit it's been fabulous.  and I work from home tomorrow with no meetings, so I get to sleep in again. 
@somcak ooooh lovely. i hope the morning is good, when it happens 

@moonrabbit Well Pippin the kitten decided that my hand sticking out of the covers at 6 am was a toy to be batted at.  Saying "Ouch" got him to stop, but woke up Bucky the dachshund for breakfast. So there was no sleeping in for me.  

At least I'll be able to sneak off for a nap later.

@somcak pippin and kitten have been talking then, because he decided to tell me it was food time this morning by reaching under the duvet to gently stretch his claws on my arm. he does this; i appreciate it not. no wounds though thankfully!

is your hand ok?

and have you napped??

@moonrabbit My hand is fine. We taught him to "nibble" not bite, and "swipe" with his claws in, so he doesn't hurt us.

I haven't napped yet. I'm waiting on a package. As soon as that arrives, I'll be back to bed.

@somcak i hope it arrives soon 📦 
@moonrabbit I'm so sorry things are that difficult and painful for you. I wish there was something that could put it all right for you    ðŸ’›

@autoperipatetikos bless you, friend, thank you. maybe some day.

how are you? are your busy busy times still ongoing?  

@moonrabbit I'm at the family weekend break which is not exactly busy but very challenging.
Sending big hugs to you and wishing for better things  ðŸŒº 

@autoperipatetikos oh ack yes, i can imagine. i hope it goes ok and that you can be home again sooooon.

thank you and to you too lovely, to you too  ðŸª»ðŸŒ¿

@moonrabbit Much love to you
@purplepadma  thank you lovely.
how has your week-end been? have you had a goo done?
😂 or even a good one?
@moonrabbit Thankfully very little goo 😂 I felt quite low yesterday but I’m feeling better so far today. I think? I’ve only been up an hour
