Re: why can't I cope longer?
I'm a bit flat.
My B'day Visitor went home today, came for my birthday but gave me no gift, or help with the dishes, I paid for everything (accept the bottle of cheap wine), and I was shut down if I talked about any of the problems I'm having with family (who they know). And out of the 7day business trip here i get 2days. Not sure if it's just me being negative but I just feel so sad and not sure why. Maybe it's the goodbye thing, feeling lonely & unimportant to anyone. Maybe used. Cooked up a big backed lamb roast for my birthday yesterday (dishes still not done).
Asked for help to tether my phone - no go.
Asked for help to empty sauspan cupboard as it's hard on my knees to bend down there - got a dirty look.
- no offers to do dishes...
Taxi'd them all over the countryside though, at my expense.
I don't know, do I expect too much?
Having a cry here..

Re: why can't I cope longer?
I don't think you asked for too much at all @Former-Member - your guest doesn't sound like they were very nice at all. Helping just a little and contributing to what you did together seems like a really small thing to ask. Doesn't sound like a very good freind to me Hon - I am not surprised you feel the way you do - not a nice visit at all

Re: why can't I cope longer?
No it is definitely not all you @Former-Member I don't think your visitor's behaviour was at all acceptable - grr! Aren't our fur babies wonderful - they give us so much love and help us to keep love in our hearts
I am having much the same day - jammies and snuggle on the couch under the doona with Toby spread out next to me. A little housework to do over the weekend, some paperwork for work and footy watching - but not pushing it today - resting s much as I can.

Re: why can't I cope longer?
Some days we just need to take care of ourselves and have no expectations of the day @Former-Member I find those are often the days when I feel most at ease also - maybe that it because there is no pressure to do anything and maybe that is because rest days are also good self-care - either way it is good to do nothing some days

Re: why can't I cope longer?
No not a singer at all - me singing would set all the dogs in the neighbourhood off in full voice lol @Former-Member I don't know much about The Festival of Voices - not something that I have ever been to so can't offer any advice there.
There are so many places you could stay but it depends on whether you like a city, bush or beach view. The East Coast has some amazing beaches and Strahan in the west is untamed natural forest and waterways - definitely a place to see if you like the natural environment. It is starting to get much colder here - especially at night so whilst it is still a good time to come to Tassie you will need to pack warm clothes.

Re: why can't I cope longer?
@Former-Member I know a few people who have been and say it is wonderful. I have not made it yet, though maybe one day. I am staying closer to home for a while, saving money and keeping home fires burning bright expecting first grandchild.
There are different types of music festivals and workshops all over the place, in the regions and the cities. A lot of them quite affordable. There is a Melbourne International Festival in June which I have been to which is great. Run by the Choir of Hard Knocks guy. I have gradually found out about them by talking and looking online and getting newsletters.There is Canberra folk festival, Castlemaine Jazz festival, Wangaratta Blues festival, Albury Wododga has a festival etc etc. There must be some in the state you are in, though travel might be needed. It might take a while before I get around to it ... but I am actually looking forward to a fantastic year with good things planned every month. It has taken a long while to be able to afford it, but I just stretch my budget slightly a little to give myself rewards, but live within my means generally and keep it simple.
I dont believe @Zoe7 re singing ... so we can have a big argy bargy bout that.

Re: why can't I cope longer?
We will have to agree to disagree about the singing then @Appleblossom
