@Appleblossom, not a bad day here today. Delightful, in fact. A fellow patient brought in a game of Rummy and we had two games which really taxed my brain. Great game!! There are a lot of manoeuvres to learn and she's way sharper than me but it was great. I was going to play cards with a patient tomorrow and innocently asked what they used for money? I changed my mind when he said the real stuff. (I didn't know we were allowed money as I thought all money was locked away).
🤪🥴🤯 The mind boggles even more about the birthday invitation from the mother of your ex-husband's friend/spouse/partner's child who met in a psych ward. Life's full of twists and turns, heh? Will your ex be there, too? Strangeness is becoming normalised, don't you think? Seriously.
I hope you guys had a good weekend and have a good week ahead. I'm beginning to enjoy life. I hope it lasts. @Appleblossom, @BlueBells, @TAB, @Kyle1, @Former-Member,. Have a good one guys. 🤪

Never heard of 'How green was my cactus' @TAB looks interesting. Was uber busy from 1986 to 2015, kids, study work and renos. Very little time to listen or keep up with news... maybe thats why I like to post about it a bit nowadays.

Great to get your post @Historylover
I like cards and board games. Glad you had some fun today.
Yeah tokens probably wiser not real dosh.
My son found a couple who love poker ... but last week we went ... but it was mostly laughing about Wii ... and how bad mum is at any computer games ...lol... but they also like and respect me ... so all good.
It helped airing that scenario ... here and in a text ... am gonna deal with it without involving my son, cos it has already stressed him out enough and really should not have any more negative impact on his life. Its not a bad thing .... just interesting after all these years and all the issues ... huge ... ex took her to supreme court! Protective Services ran a mile. Hmmm. In many ways she is more mature than the ex.
Its been a weird sorting through things day, but good. 2 other scenarios had been challenging but good communication from individuals have smoothed out things. Think this is my learning year about personalities as well as socialising.... and better cooking ... and and and ... always something new to learn.

Morning @Historylover @TAB @Appleblossom and everyone else.
with 2 weeks left before I move the panics have started, especially after meeting with conveyancers on Friday which has led me to going quiet for few days. In my mind I had worked out a plan which I was comfy with, yesterday somethings changed and this morning head is in a spin
Yesterday conveyancers confirmed settlement for my current home will be 9:30am 3 October. Furniture removalists now coming on 2 October with my furniture to be placed in garage of my new home. Only good thing is I can do last walk through/clean after furniture is moved. So many other things impacted also.
Am hoping can get keys to my new place mid morning on 3 October and handyman can come that same day to install curtain tracks etc so can bring cats home from cattery on 3 october

It's a great game, @TAB, played with 2 or 3
, I think. But it's Rummy, not Gin Rummy which I think is a card game. This one requires players to combine tiles in different combinations until one player wins by clearing all their tiles. Perhaps there is an online version to learn by, but it's better socially, of course.
