Our stories
Thank you @outlander Same to you. Hang onto the good moments, bella, espesh when the other stuff gets too much.
I have already had a good day with my son. We had a great therapy session. SO important when it is done well.
Hello All on Rave thread.
Hello Everyone 🙂
I looked up that site you gave me Mazy @Mazarita & it took me to the one I had been to, it gave me a better understanding of how the points work & I have accumulated 3 points, 1 for each ticket, I have an open license so it's safe 🙂 Thank you for thinking of me {& also Thank you to s-jay & everyone} I've calmed back down now, yesterday was just a case of everything piling up on itself I think . . . anxiety leading to panic leading to simply not coping? I've had a big day, took the car in & got the brakes fixed {& the clean underneath done}. I took my hand trolley & walked {up hill} to a nearby Aldi store & did most of my grocery shopping {not the bulk long life milk I usually get 'cause I didn't want to cart it about :)} It's a Kmart mechanic I'm going to, so I found myself wandering around Kmart towards the end of the wait - & surprise, surprise, I found something that I just couldn't leave in the shop 🙂 a memory foam pillow with a cool gel mat on it. It's starting to warm up here, not too much at night yet . . . but I know it's coming. I remember the first time I tried a memory foam pillow, it was my Mums, it made so much difference to how my body felt the next day. I received my Mums pillow when she passed away & I've gotten a couple since - wouldn't be without one now! I liked them so much, when I was able to afford one, I got a memory foam mattress topper - it's like sleeping on a giant pillow 🙂 It's wonderful 🙂 I think it makes sleeping easier, since I've surrounded myself in memory foam, I may flip & flop a bit - but I sleep through; before there didn't seem to be any position I could get in that I wouldn't end up aching to waking. {I wonder if I'm just trying to convince myself I needed that pillow? 🙂 ?} I'm tired already {which is probably a good thing} having gotten up at 5.30am to be there at 8, but I knew the earlier I got there the sooner I'd get my car back. I got the last 1500mt roll of plain wire I need for the boundary fence, popped into Bunnings & got a drip nozzle {just 1 for now, I've got to figure out to install them & the basics of how I'm going to secure the polypipe to the roof, for a fire prevention idea} & even went into a 2nd hand store & grabbed me a bargain, a pair of rubber backed curtains for my bedroom {the old ones were getting a bit too religious for me - very holey 😄 - I've even put them up already!} Lots of love to you Mazy, I hope your dreams were just plain entertaining last night.
Love to all that need or want it
Hi everyone, trying to catch up on some messages over the past few days. I have been reading and 'supporting', but I haven't had the head space to reply much.
@eth, have been thinking about you, wondering if there's any news on the arrival of the baby. Days have been pretty busy by my standards lately. Out of the flat and doing things four days in a row, including lots of walking. Also doing domestic stuff I'd usually neglect, or take much longer to get to. Then collapsing in my chair for some TV chill time in the evening. Wondering how your activities out of the cabin have been going. Look forward to chatting again when we next meet in forum time.
@Exoplanet, so glad to hear you have felt better today. One little nag from someone who is anxious about cars, even being a passenger in them: keep your eye on the speedo! Good to hear about your big day too. Your memory foam pillow and mattress topper sound really good. I have a crook neck and upper back and find latex pillows most comfortable for myself. Cool that you have the last roll of wire for the boundary fence. I think work starts on that in October? Keep up the good work with the fire prevention measures (I know you will). Lol to your holey curtains, good find with the new (second hand) rubber backed ones. I'm guessing they will help keep the heat down in summer.
@Appleblossom, a good day with your son, and great therapy session, makes me glad for you.
@outlander, thanks for your frequent good morning wishes. Great to hear your hand and wrist are much better, and that you are taking care to keep the improvements happening. Wondering if you've been doing more crochet. I did three hours of knitting today at the mental health centre (getting me out of the flat, socialising and knitting too).
@CheerBear, I think you missed me early this morning by about five minutes. Hope the day has treated you kindly.
@Sophia1, good to hear you have been enjoying gardening and that you are outside much more. Also that you are in the process of settling in the new place now.
@greenpea, wondering how your day has been, whether you've been keeping up with the qigong (I bet you have), and whether you have had a chance to get out on some early morning walks. Looking forward to catching the pea again soon.
@saturnzoon, how did your dental appointment go? Reading back over these past days, it seems like everyone is going to the dentist! I had a series of appointments (government dentist) earlier in the year. 12 fillings! Glad they are done though, and have stepped up my dental hygiene big time since then. Do you go to art group most weeks? What kind of things do you do there? I am part of an art group too.
@Faith-and-Hope, are you going to art classes at the moment? Wonder what kinds of things you are doing.
@s-jay, good to see you around here.
@Teej, hope the days have been treating you okay or better. Thanks again for being there the other night when I was feeling so freaked out about my online communications recently. There's still one email I sent out that is haunting me, that I sent to some people to whom I only usually talk about video. There's one line I wrote in there that is particularly coming back to me over and over: 'I despise capitalism'. Lol. Did they really need to know that? There was other personal stuff in it too that I now feel very exposed by. No reply from them to it either. This feeling of mortification shall pass, I guess, and they will probably forget about it with time.
@PeppiPatty, thanks for the tag the other day, with the joy, coffee and a big cuddle. Hugs back atcha. Hope Mr Buddha has been treating you okay. What's the latest news with his treatment?
@everyone, wishing a relaxing remainder of the evening and a good sleep tonight.
