Well done for keeping busy @Bow That can be super hard when we are not feeling up to it.
Look back to see what you have achieved, be proud of that.
I'm ok, just tried to keep busy. Took a whole heap of things to the local op shop and spent this afternoon in the kitchen cooking and cleaning.
On the couch too so will come and join you.

Oh I knew you didn’t celebrate Christmas and stuff, but birthdays too @tyme ? I could skip Christmas, but birthdays are celebrating YOU and you being in this world.
Yeah d is good at amusing herself thankfully, and she is use to it, but she would love a sibling or someone to play with.

It's not that we can't celebrate birthdays, I can't be bothered. It doesn't mean anything to me. People ask me how old I am. I have to calculate from my year of birth because I don't even keep track @Bow

I think my life was so shocking in my 20s that I stopped caring and having to endure another year was traumatic for me... @Bow I think this was when I deleted birthdays from my mind.
But even then, as kids, we never celebrated birthdays.
