Something’s not right

Not Coping

Re: Not Coping

Hahaha, I am glad you thought it was funny @Birdofparadise8
At least someone does! 😛

I get that, I know it's temporary, but I view it as a strategy for myself in my tool kit, so when I need it, I can access it easily - if that makes sense. Bit different when I am out of the house, but I make sure I have some things I love small enough to fit in my bag too - things that bring me comfort.

Re: Not Coping

Yes, it's a good idea @PizzaMondo 

That's a good idea what do you use for your bag. Is it a handbag?

I have one I'm not sure how much room I would have with all the stuff that's in it. 

Re: Not Coping

Yes I'll keep a look out @outlander 

Re: Not Coping

Hmm, depends where I am going - I have a few different bags I alternate between.

For example:
I have a tote bag, easy to chuck in anything I need but hurts my shoulder if I have to carry it all day.. 😞

Then, I have a small handbag (maybe the size of my head, which I know you can't see but an average sized head haha), enough to fit my purse, phone, lip balm, dettol (stay covid safe lol), some fidget toys including a rock or shell (even though I'll probably find more later on my walk...)

and lastly, a backpack if I am going to be out all day! So the sizes definitely vary.. and I pick and choose what I might need for the day.

Do you have some different size bags or tote bags at home you can switch between @Birdofparadise8 ??

Re: Not Coping

Hi @Birdofparadise8 and @PizzaMondo how are you both doing this afternoon?

Re: Not Coping

I just have my handbag, it's this one. Mum got it for my birthday last year.

Can you show me a photo of the squish things you have? @PizzaMondo

Re: Not Coping

@Birdofparadise8, struggling a bit under the heat, feeling rather lightheaded. My body hates me 😔.

I hope preparing dinner goes well for you

Re: Not Coping

Yes, the heat is strong today @creative_writer

Have you kept hydrated?

Re: Not Coping
