24 Hour Recovery Connections Part 386
Morning all!
Just sat watching Melly and her friends having fun at a pool party. A 9am start on a Sunday eek! Great to be sober and free for my girls. Quick stop at home then a long drive up to my parents with Mel as I'm leaving her there for the half term break. Hannah is staying home. Yes home alone for a night!!!!! I'm trying to let her have a bit of independence. I will fret of course but she's a good girl.
Have a lovely day everyone. I'll check in later when I'm safely up north ❤❤❤

Ooh, have a lovely time in Majorca Daisybelle!
I'm on a train from Chester to Euston. We had the most amazing time in Chester zoo yesterday. We saw the baby elephant and a 3 week old rhino and we fed fruit bats!! We stood in their bat cave and held squidgy bananas and fed 600 tiny fruit bats. It was incredible. This world is such an unbelievably fantastic place. I'm making this visit to Chester zoo an annual event. Next year we're going to feed aardvarks and I for one can not wait.
Hannah will love the independence Jo, hope you have a safe journey to your parents. Congrats to everyone celebrating a milestone today.... 24 more for me please xxxx

I'm feeling so low and worthless today... I don't know what triggered it. I hate myself and I wish I were someone else. Or I wish I could at least drink and feel nothing. Sigh. I won't drink - I know these feelings will eventually pass, but right now I'm stuck in this depressive episode and it sucks.
Uh, what a weird day... I got a call from my mum, she said she wants to surprise me and is coming to visit me for a couple of days with her husband in July - first time ever since I moved to Scotland. Wow... I'm not sure how I feel about that. I love my parents - I know they care about me and they're good people, but I've lived on my own since I was 15 and they don't really know anything about my life... I like it that way. I'd never want to hurt them, so I lie that everything's fantastic. My parents are not honest with me either; I didn't know they got divorced (found out weeks later when I came to visit, used their PC and there were divorce papers saved on the desktop), I didn't know my mum remarried, heck they didn't even tell me my grandma passed away. The worst thing is, that neither of these things really bothered me in the slightest. I don't know - maybe I am even secretly pleased that I have a reason to distance myself from them. So yup... I'm a bit stressed about my mum visiting... I'm also totally broke, I'm not sure how I'm gonna pick them up from the airport, I can't afford bus tickets... eh. Anyway... I'm so sorry for venting.
Lots to do today. Gonna check in later.
Take care everyone, stay strong!

Um, love, hope this is not out of line.....but after reading your family history, do you absolutely need to say yes to this visit? A surprise? Without even consulting you to see if it suits....hmmm.......any chance you could ask her to come when you are feeling a bit more settled?
If not....you will have all of our help. For one thing, you have every right to your privacy, but saying that you are not flush with money right now is fine I think....perhaps let her know that you will need a bit of help with that if they are coming....feeding two extra people is expensive..perhaps she will be understanding and offer to help out a bit. ♥
I know you are feeling down love....you know I am too. So we will get through this together....as jojo said yesterday. And we will be alright....sometimes one hour at a time is good enough....that's what I am aiming for today. We don't have to stay in a bad-feeling place: we can take action.
Sending mega amounts of love. ♥♥
