Hugs.

Life is too short to keep people around who add negativity to your life.

A fruitful session.

Definitely do what you need to take care of yourself.

I am indoors today due to excessive heat, expecting at least +104F today and maybe tomorrow. I was ground soaking my garden at 6:30 this morning, will go after sunset and do it again, same deal tomorrow. Glad the whole thing is in the shade by 6pm.

Go easy on your tummy and maybe put a drop or two of cbd stuff in it.

I often have a temporary loss of appetite that results from grief. To "prime the pump" so to speak, I rely on a childhood favorite which is tapioca pudding. My mother would make it for me when I was small and whenever I was ill. She would always add a drop of food coloring to cheer me up. Other family members rely on "dippy toast" which is a soft boiled egg over small pieces of lightly toasted bread. I hope you can find a comforting pump primer to kick start your appetite. It sometimes seems so hard to even think about food when one's heart is breaking; however, food can nourish your soul as well as your body. Hoping you will feel in a better place soon.

I was just thinking about it, the other day. Haven't had it in ages so I think I need to cook up a batch.

I did make some buttered toast and also had a cup of tea. Managed to take a nap, which was great.

Now I'm being surrounded by my kidcats because it's VERY close to their dinner time. I'm going to make something for myself, too. If I can't finish it, I'll just put the leftovers in the refrigerator and try again, later.

Let us know how you are getting along each day. I have read your posts for several years. Love the way you set up shelters for your outdoor babies. We save large Styrofoam containers where I work. We receive large shipments of medical research supplies and we donate them, along with cat food, to local group that converts them into winter shelters for feral cat colonies.

There are a couple of 'mystery' kittens that have shown up and they shelter from the rain on my front step, on the thin bit of concrete that stays dry. There is a nice space between the shrubs and the house that will be perfect.

I will keep checking in. I'm just hoping for a stretch of time with no trauma! It is exhausting, both emotionally and physically. BUT I did finally eat, tonight, so that's a positive step forward.

MrsK never understood why, I would tense before an appt. and then, a couple hours after, I felt better.
Siwsan, I'm at the point, after years of therapy, I look forward to them now.
I treat them as, my, "psyche shower", I get to talk without worries, about what's on my mind. I get feedback, pos or neg., point is, when I go to therapy, I am heard. That never happened in my family, who disowned me also.
When you go to therapy, remember 2 things, if I may.
1 you will be heard.
2 you may not get the response you want, because, #1 , you were heard.
Hoping best for you and the ferals,

Koz

My therapist is a real good listener and takes LOTS of notes. No doubt those will be passed on to the PA who will be doing my medication assessment.

I did eat some buttered toast and washed it down with a nice cup of tea. Best of all, I fell in to a deep sleep for about 2 hours. My house panther, Gryff, was cuddled up with me.
