I can’t cope

@Captain24 no worries ☺️. Thinking I might put a roast beef in the oven 😋.

Your body definitely needed the rest then!

Can understand still not having energy but I'm glad the headache has eased. Completely get that physical exhaustion but not as in just tired. I'm glad to hear that you're going to be careful, it's ok to take things slowly while you are recovering from being unwell.

It is hard and it's why I begged my doctor to do something to help cos I know it can't keep going on like this, it's just taking too much out of me physically, mentally and emotionally. What makes it harder is that even when I nap during the day the nightmares show up, so I can never get quality rest to be able to recharge. I'm safe and still snuggled up with Casper but I'm going to get up and put that roast on.

A roast sounds good. Mum and dad aren’t here yet. They should be soon. I asked for milk too so I’m sure they will come before lunch. @MissGremlin

I do need to start eating better. I’m going to try when I have my block off work if it gets approved.

It’s not my place to say and it means starting all over again but do you think you need a new GP? Just a change and different perspective? I’m also wondering if you have ADHD? But that takes a Pdoc and it’s really really expensive and I k ow you can’t afford it. I’m struggling too but at least now that I’ve had the initial appointment it’s has come to the cheaper rate however it is still $420 an appointment!

@Captain24 hopefully they'll be there soon.

That sounds like a good plan. You do well to make up meals for several days at a time already. Really hoping you get that time off as I think you definitely need it.

Unfortunately it's hard to find any bulk billed doctors that have no out of pocket cost. It's also that others have the confidence in seeing my GP and change isn't possible there. I've been considering at least getting a second opinion from one though in regards to the sleep issues and it might just be enough to give my doctor the push to do something about it. My doctor as no doubts about me having both Autism and ADHD and the psychologist I saw also picked up on it but getting diagnosed isn't possible as I can't afford it. Really wish there was options for free or really subsidised appointments for those that struggle with the cost of things. I can imagine even with working that it would still be a huge cost to you especially with Pix's vet bills aswell.

They have just left @MissGremlin. I said about 12! I’m ready whenever you are.

I definitely do need it. The last time I saw the Pdoc she wanted to write me out a certificate for time off but I just didn’t have the sick leave.

I thought more GP’s bull billed these days. My practice doesn’t but my GP has been recently. I don’t expect him too though. But again I have the money. But not a lot left over after Pixies expenses! In 2 weeks I can afford her next lot of tests. The practice is really good though. I’m sure that they would let me pay it off but I don’t like that. They don’t do accounts but with my history and all the current expenses I think they would help.

@Captain24 just give me 15 minutes and I'll be ready.

Keeping everything crossed that you can get that time off.

There's a few more that do now but I couldn't change clinics as it costs to have files transferred across. Hopefully the vet bills settle once she's doing better and on the correct dose of insulin.

All good. I’ve just started. @MissGremlin

I really hope he approves it.

Hopefully you can figure something out. It was my psych that suggested I get assessed. She had just been assessed herself and could see it 100% in me when she realise how things were for her.

This is the Elvis that’s 45x60, the tigers that are 25x60 and the tiger that’s 30x40

@Captain24 oh those tiger ones are just stunning 😍. The Elvis one looks so good too.

I've just sat down, needing to remind myself to breathe. I got too overwhelmed doing lunch and remembering that I needed to put a load of washing on, it took me 4 times of thinking about it to actually get it in the machine. Then I accidentally bumped my head on the cupboard when I bent down and managed to hit the exact same place I did a couple of weeks ago when I misjudged the corner of the wall 😂.

Anyway where were we, oh that's right diamond art. Let's do this!

I live tigers! It’s the only cat I like. 😂 @MissGremlin

I just had some dickhead at the door trying to sell me a solar battery. I don’t think so!

Ive done two loads of washing and they are hanging out in the beautiful weather. I’ve got the front door open and the dogs keep barking because everyone is enjoying the weather! The foot path is in my side of the street and there is lots of kids around here!

Which one did you pick to do?

@Captain24 i love tigers too. I have a picture on my wall that was painted by a family friend many years ago.

Oh door knockers drive me crazy!

Well done for getting 2 loads of washing done sweet. Silly Pix and Jett barking at everyone, Casper just lays at the door and watches the world go by even when people walk past he'll just wag his tail 😂.

I picked this one but it's not sticky enough, I'm worried about it not working out cos the dots keep moving. But I love the picture.

I also brought this to hold the bags of gems which makes things alot easier, I'm going to get another one though as I need more slots.

That tiger is amazing! @MissGremlin

They always bark! Should have heard them when someone was actually at the door!

They are both laying on a cushion bed looking out. I’ve moved the cushion so they can see better and be comfortable! I’m a good mum 😂

The picture is awesome. Do you rolling on the dots one once finished each section? Maybe that will help them stick a bit better. Maybe when you finish you might need to seal it so they stop.

Love the little container! Mine are just in the table but I have more space.

I’ve decided to do all pets. I have found a picture of my rabbit but it’s not on my phone and mum is going to go through all her photos. I also have a pic of my Rosella but not sure how it will turn out.

I have this pic of my old dog I want to do. I have a drawing of her head that shows her face and I think I’d rearrange my wall to put it in next to her drawing. Her favourite thing to do was play fetch!
