 Hey @Snowie 

@Sans911 

I have sprinkled bits of Buddhism and Christianity throughout my posts all through the forum. Both have been influential. Neither really teaches cheekiness. ,lol ... I must not have gotten the cheekiness gene ..its a skill: I am "working on" late in life. a luxury even, for me.

😘 It’s a good skill to have too @Appleblossom. Your response made me smile. 😊

 Hi @Sans911, @Snowie, @outlander, @Faith-and-Hope , @Zoe7, @CheerBear and all passing this way. 

I might be a a bit light on in the forum as I go into respite tomorrow. It’s been a monumental effort for me to try and get organised. I really have lost the plot with so much stuff. I hope that respite helps me find it again. I seriously couldn’t organise ......... (insert fave saying😜). 

just wanted to say hi and I’m thinking of you all. 💜🤗

[Zoe7]

I wish you the best of luck tomorrow @Teej and hope the respite helps you to 'regain the plot' again - as much as any of us here can anyway lol - hugs 

[Zoe7]

@Sans911 Thinking of you with your appointment today - hope you are doing as okay as you can be Hon

@Faith-and-Hope

My pyschologist appt was ok. Talked a fair bit about what returning to work might be like and knowing when I'm ready and capable. That is such a huge factor because if I'm criticised or invalidated, how would I be effected and how far would I slide back. I think its still months away yet. Where I might work & in what role is also being considered.

My pyschologist is satisfied that my level of risk has lowered for now.

I also caught with a mental health nurse from the respite centre and had a chat with him, so that was helpful as well.

A big talking day. I'm glad to be back in the silence of my home.

@Snowie

I hope you're pysch appt help to unravel some of the that worrying knot you've been tying yourself up in.

@Appleblossom

It's very hard to convey wit, cheekiness, generally any 'emotion' here. If you knew me in real life, it would be more obvious.

@Teej

All the best for your respite tommorow. I hope you get something helpful out of it.

@Zoe7

Ouchy, wisdom tooth extraction

Just another added pain you don't need. Take care forum sister. Lots of self care and Toby love.

@Faith-and-Hope

It sounds like this visual arts course is a good outlet for you with lots of opportunities for learning and development.

@outlander

My lil Sis, I'm a bit worried about you. I hope you're okish, but I suspect perhaps not quite
