Hello and welcome to the home of Word of the Week. A nice and simple weekly linky, with everyone welcome to pop by and share. The idea of the linky is to reflect back on your past week and share it with us. It’s great if you can sum it up in a word or phrase, hence giving us your Word of the Week. My word this week is ‘Stagnant’ and you can read more about that below.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING IF YOU WISH TO LINK UP! FROM NOW ON, THOSE NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES WILL BE DELETED.
I’m not totally strict on using just a word or phrase. But please try to stick to the theme of summing up your week. There are not too many rules with this linky, just remember to read at least another couple of posts in the link up after adding your link. And please only add one post to the link up each week, multiple posts will be deleted. I will read and comment on all posts and tweet them out for you. I also have a Pinterest board devoted to Word of the Week. Please add the badge below to your post so that others may find us and join in. If you comment or tweet then please use the hashtag #WotW Links without a back link will no longer be allowed. I don’t like doing this but I was being bombarded with irrelevant posts that never linked back or commented on other posts and this is not what this link up community is about. I’ve been running it since 2018 when I took it over from The Reading Residence. Our community is inclusive but sharing. I’d love you to join in but please follow the rules. Thank you x
Word of the Week is open from 6am on Friday Morning to 12 noon on Monday. Plenty of time to join in!
If you like to write bookish posts don’t forget my link up on my other blog At Home A Lot, Bookworms Monthly.
If you are unfamiliar with the Word of the Week linky then please feel free to ask any questions. New linkers are always welcome, we love to hear what you have been up to in the past week.
MY WORD OF THE WEEK – Stagnant
Back to school and college, shorter darker days, so much to do and no energy or motivation. This week has definitely felt stagnant.
I had a hospital appointment on Monday to see my consultant. It seems that I’ve come to the end of anything new. All I can look forward to is getting worse, and with nothing there to help me when I do. I felt really low after the appointment. I had to go early in the morning so straight after dropping the Little Man off at school. This meant I wasn’t there to push Boo into college, she needs constant reminders, what time to get dressed, what time to put her coat on, what time to catch the bus. And although I did this by text from the hospital, she got as far as the bus stop and came home again. I guess you could say she tried.
On Tuesday, she did go in because I was here to help her, but she came home early and missed a lesson. It’s like history repeating itself. Both my eldest two went to four different colleges and Star had to give up college altogether. I’m all for life long learning, but it gets quite depressing when it keeps happening over and over. It’s just not flowing, it’s stagnant.
My mental health has suffered too. I have punished myself. I’m over my relationship with Graham now. It’s gone quickly but I know there will never be any going back, but going forward isn’t happening either. I just want to be free from him but instead I’m stuck in this stagnant situation where the only difference in our relationship is that he doesn’t actually live here. (And I get even less help than before.)
It’s like my entire life is stuck in this endless loop. I even bit the bullet and found a place to sort out some of my garden. I’ve put some money aside and I was going to sort it next Spring, but I thought why not get rid of some of the rubbish that is stagnating at the side of my house. And the trampoline which is a complete eye sore. But they didn’t turn up to give me a quote, not even a reply to my messages.
I just want to get things moving again.
Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week?
I’m sorry to hear you are feeling like this, it sounds like you are having a really tough time. I can’t offer much advice but wanted to say to try not to give up hope there will be better days ahead xx
Aww I’m sorry you are feeling this way. I don’t even know what to suggest. For the garden clearance, there are a lot of them that do this so I suppose you could try somewhere else. It’s hard to remain upbeat but you just have to try to make the best of the circumstances. For us, the ‘situation’ is stagnant too. But hospice care and coming off life support etc is tomorrow! It feels strange to even type that Prayers please. Thanks so much!
my prayers are with you, your sister and family xx
Oh no! Sorry to hear that you have horrible things going on! Sending love and hugs to you and your family. x
I am so sorry, my condolences xx
That is a great word to describe your week, sorry it hasn’t been a great one and I am so sorry that there’s nothing much the experts can do to help you.
Sending love and hugs. You are doing all you can and are trying your best. I am sure things will get better soon. xxx
Life does that sometimes and I am sorry that you feel stuck at the moment. I do empathize somewhat because I have a broken arm and I can’t do the things I want to do, relying on others is driving me mad. Hope you feel a bit better soon xxx
