Not Coping

Oh okay. Have you been able to take a nap @creative_writer

Yeah, I never nap either @creative_writer Oh. I'm sorry you're struggling with your food intake. Make sure you drink lots of water. Maybe some hydrolite might be good to give you some extra electrolytes you don't want them to get out of balance.,

@creative_writer sorry to hear you're having a down day. Those days are never good. I'm sending good and happy thoughts your way xx.

The centrelink call wasn't so bad, having worked in a call centre for many years myself I make sure I keep my tone light whilst thinking the whole system is a rort and those genuine cases are the ones who suffer because of the dodgy so and so's who screw things up for genuine cases like us. Rant over!!

Here's a diamond painting I just finished. It's a cheap one that doesn't require a lot of energy but I loved the colours and chose it for that. Hopefully it will bring a little colour into your day 🤗😍

That's good to hear. I hope you try and have some dinner tonight @creative_writer

I'm about to email you @creative_writer

And also, I am here for support too if you wanna chat 💜

@Birdofparadise8 I'm waiting for my brother to finish doing whatever it is he's doing so he can help me move a large pot, so I finished my diamond painting instead.

The chocolate cake recipe I use is a really old one -

• 1 cup self-raising flour (sifted)
• 1/3 cup cocoa (sifted)
• 1 cup caster sugar
• 1/3 cup butter (softened)
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 eggs (lightly beaten)

Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Grease and flour or line a 24cm cake tin and set aside.

Place all ingredients into a bowl and using a mixer and mix on high for 4 minutes.

Pour into cake tin and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched in the centre.

I have been cheating recently and buying pre-made frosting but otherwise I use icing sugar with cocoa and mix it together for the icing.
