I can’t cope

[Captain24]

So that red mark on my arm has been removed. 75% chance that it’s a cancer @Jynx @AuntGlow @tyme Just wait and see what the results bring in the next couple of weeks. 

[Captain24]

Really tired after today. Thought I’d be home earlier than now. I was expecting to be home by 4 but I had to wait a while to get that thing cut out. Just another thing to add to everything else. I have to fill out the hospital paperwork tomorrow. Then at least that will be done.

Hey @Captain24 💛

How are you feeling after your appointment? I am sure this news was quite overwhelming for you... I am here if you need to talk - just going through a few 'behind the scenes' things tonight too. ☺️

How did your coasters set?

Gosh, I would be exhausted too. I know your brain makes you work extra hard, so I will be here to keep reminding you to take breaks. 😉

Essay is all sent off! It isn't my best work, but hopefully I pass? haha 

And yes... me potentially having ADHD is a hot topic right now. 😂

[Captain24]

Not too bad @AuntGlow. I kinda expected it. I knew it wasn’t normal. But there is still a 25% chance that it’s not. So it’s on my mind but I just have to remind myself to just wait and see what it turns out to be and then work on the next step. I’m trying to be cool about it but I do have some anxiety. I haven’t eaten because my stomach is churning. 

I haven’t taken them out of the moulds yet. I’ll do it tomorrow after my dietitian appointment. I also have to grout my mosaic. I’ll take photos of both and post them tomorrow night for you. 

I do need reminding and I need to slow down. I really need to stop over working myself so I can get through this burnout. But then I have so much to do tomorrow to get ready for work Wednesday and then I don’t stop until Monday. 

Im glad it’s sent off, I’m sure you did ok. 

Hahaha adhd 🤔 how do you feel about it though?

Hey @Captain24 how was your holiday? Did Jett and Pix get lots of beach walks?

I finally got an 8m lead for Toby and took him out on a walk with it this morning and it reminded me of chatting about it with you 😊 Hope you're doing well!

[Captain24]

My holiday was really good @Ru-bee. It was just what I needed. I spent every afternoon at the beach by myself and loved it. I got out into the waves and it was really good and peaceful. 

They walked along the beach every afternoon and had fun. Pix just went straight to the water and ran around in it. She had a so much fun. The smile on her face was priceless. Jett enjoyed climbing over all the rocks. Jett had a 15 metre lead on the beach and enjoyed being able to run and have so much more freedom on the beach. 

Im sure he loved the freedom and get less tangled in the lead. I love ours and the dogs know just how far they can go. 

I had a possible cancer cut out of my arm yesterday and I have day surgery on the 18th of November so it’s all happening. But I had a self care day on Sunday and that was really good. I did quite a few things even resin and mosaic! Plus no chores it was just a holy and solely a me day. I plan on having a me afternoon this afternoon! 

How was your holiday? How are you going? 

[Ru-bee]

That's so wonderful to hear @Captain24 I'm so so glad that you all had a good getaway!

A 15m lead would be great! Toby is still learning that he doesn't have to stick right beside me on the lead yet, but he had a few moments where he tested it out a little, I'm sure he'll get used to it soon enough

Wishing you all the best for the surgery! How are you feeling about it? 

I'm really glad that you've been able to have some self-care time, and no chores! That's fantastic! Proud of you.

Would love to see the resin and mosaic pieces if you feel like sharing!

My time off was good. It was busy but in a lovely way, I saw my sister and her youngest bub a few times which was a treat. Bub is only 3 months and is lovely to cuddle 😊. I took myself to the movies, I did lots of knitting, and let myself have a day or 2 of just resting which was needed!

[Captain24]

The 15m lead is only for the beach @Ru-bee. It’s too long to handle anywhere else and I don’t want that much uncontrolled! He will get there! He will love it. 

Im really scared about it. I haven’t had surgery before so it’s the unknown and I’m petrified of hospital!!!! I’m scared of how sore I’ll be the next day. It’s only internal so it’s not as though they are going to cut me at all. 

I’m glad you got to see Bub. That age is so cute easy to hold and snuggly. Rest days are certainly needed (listen to yourself cap!) I’m glad it was a good break for you! 

It was good to allow myself a break and do stuff I haven’t done for over 6 months. I did all my stuff this morning so my afternoon is free and I’m working on a 3D puzzle of an English double decker bus! It’s turning out pretty good. I did one of a gingerbread house on my self care day too. The resin coasters, the resin is a bit messy but it was resin I hadn’t used before. I think I need to mix it some more.

hey @Captain24!! it's nice to see you. i love the gingerbread house that you've made!! also curious to know what those gems/rocks (idk the proper name) are for? 

[Captain24]

Hi @rav3n.

The gingerbread house was so fiddly! The rock things are coasters they are covered in resin so the reason is clear that’s why you can only she the rock things. I got the rocks out of those fidgets where you pull bits out of silicone. I’m going to keep the rocks and things and see what I can do with them. 

How are you?
