Ooo and I am settling down to watch the nightmare before Christmas for the very first time ... I have tea in my new cup and have got scones with jam on
Aww howdy Hash and family, huge squeezy hugs right back at you
Morning by eck, I was wondering how early you'd been dragged awake as I went back to sleep at 6ish.
I haven't opened any presents yet (ha that's a lie I opened most of them before Christmas) I'm waiting for the anti psychotic haze to pass, I have some from Sossidge under the tree (that was also a present) I think Mummy and Daddy solb have a present for me and solbsis has something she bought me for our birthday but it went wrong and wasn't there in time ... apparently its special. Quite like that I know I'm a spoilt brat before any wrapping paper has hit the floor.
Glad Mr By Eck has a very loving immediate family to remind him that he's appreciated and wanted
I've opened my presents - a new dressing gown/bath robe and some lovely glam Swarovski earings. I'm wearing them both now!
Its just me and Mr Soup this year having a quiet Christmas together. Visiting family for New Year. A lazy morning planned before cooking dinner later on. I bought Mr Soup a half hour flight in a Tiger Moth which he wasn't expecting. I love giving real surprises. Have a good day everyone.
By Eck I hope that didn't come across badly - I meant I'm glad you are there rather than Mr By Eck should be grateful you are if you see what I mean.
I've had the nicest Christmas ever (I don't do Christmas lunch and lots of visiting and stuff - I prefer to enjoy a short amount of time and quit while I'm ahead so the rest of the day will be just a quiet normal day.) I had an absolutely blast with SOLBsis' mini1 and mini2 - I just feel really, really happy, We laughed and played and played and danced to silly songs and laughed some more. I am so, so grateful that I am well enough to really be their aunty again - I just feel so happy and alive playing with them.
SOLBsis and Mr SOLBsis said a few times 'you don't have to keep playing so energetically you can take a break if you want to' ... but the truth is I didn't want to I was having as much (if not more) fun than the mini's. Being back for them is the greatest thing about being well
So glad to hear about your day SOLB. *raises a glass to being well* So often people see the person as the mental health presentation without realising there is someone very different underneath it all. I think you have demonstrated that so well. I hope lurkers who might not understand or who have loved ones going through it can see that too.
I'm just having a rest before Christmas pudding with brandy sauce. We are living in a caravan at the moment (won't bore you with the details why) and its been a lovely day so far. Done full Christmas dinner with a turkey crown and all the trimmings, despite all the doom mongers who told us we couldn't do Christmas in a caravan. Vivaldi's Four Seasons is playing on CD and I'm so content.
I think that's true - to be honest even I forgot who I was underneath. I'm really enjoying seeing people I've not seen for a few months and sparkling at them
Wow kudos to pulling off Christmas in a caravan; delighted that you survived the doubters it can be done and even more so that you had a good time.
I feel very very lucky tonight, it sounds like a sentimental Christmas post but to be honest I think I've felt like that most nights for the last month or so.
Lots of love to you festive friends
(oh and on a virtual running club point of business I'm attempting a really little mile or so tomorrow before braving town with SOLBTitchysis - hang in there asthma lungs)
I never used to have the patience for meditation, mind was too active but I'm finding it easier these day. I'll have a click on that in a minute thanks.

Just nipping in with a big Chrimble hug from me and the tall bloke, and a perkeerk from the girls x
On a slightly sad note, mr by eck got a calendar from his parents. It isn't even a particularly nice calendar.

Oh bless you darling (((by eck)))
(((by eck))) just in case you need them
Oh and bear i forgot to ask how the meal with mummybear went.
I hope you all made it through today in one piece
I've made a meditation for health that you might like

Hope you enjoy it
I'm weird Meditation makes me sad (in the same way as churches) but I'm sure one of the others (or a lovely lurker) will have a click
I'm going back to bed .... I've got wine poisoning!

Morning SOLBy. Plenty of room in a caravan by the way.
