Far and Away

Hi @Zoe7 @Snowie @Adge @Emelia8 @Shaz51 ...... 👋💕☕️

Just out of legal meetings ..... and out of energy .....

@Zoe7 it sounds like Cat got a big fright out of her misadventure and has needed time to process it, staying in close proximity to you as she did.

💜❄️ @Snowie ......

@Zoe7 sounds like you are getting things done today and that Cat sounds a little better.

@Faith-and-Hope sorry to hear you are out of energy from your legal meetings. I hope you can rest this afternoon and do something for youself. You are so strong hon.

I hope both of your afternoons go ok.

👍 Thanks @Snowie .....

Thanks @Zoe7 Yes complaint lodged to Online Employment Service - They responded with "These are automated emails & sms's, we cannot control when they are sent" (on Good Friday Public Holiday).

Hugs @Faith-and-Hope Re: Legal consultations, very tiring.

I was going to go to a Centrelink centre ASAP, as suggested as a last resort (Re: Booking ESAt Assessment).

I actually got through to speak to someone – After 3 days of repeated efforts, & approximately 3 to 4 hours on hold (telephone).

After a 65 minute phone call – ESAt for DES-ESS has been Booked.

It's just an Assessment for possible access to Disability Emloyment Assistance (to apply for & obtain work).

Not any Pension or Income Allowance.

Referral sent through, they called it.

No date & no time for ESAt was given.

ESAt Assessment will be via an unscheduled phone call, from an Assessing Doctor (they said).

@Faith-and-Hope I hope you have been able to relax after your morning Hon. I can imagine how tiring all these meetings are for you both mentally and physically so sending you some extra squishy hugs and a whole lot of love

@Snowie Not a great day for you I see Hon Much love and hugs to you too

@Adge I am glad you finally got through but there is still so much up in the air for you. Ridiculous that it cannot all be secured at a distinct time - if it was the other way around you would be expected to drop everything to accommodate them - grr!!!

Thanks @Zoe7 I hope the rest of your day has been ok.

I am really not in the mood for anything. Am trying but it is super hard.

@Snowie

It was a hearing this morning @Zoe7 ..... and our outcomes are not ideal, but they are worthwhile as the best that can be done in the short term, and it's a step forward regardless. So yes, tiring and still distressing, but baby steps are all we can take under these conditions. It helps so much to know you are supporting me in spirit.

💜❄️ @Snowie ..... thinking of you too Hon.

That certainly is not the news I had hoped for for you Hon I can imagine it has left you feeling quite deflated so do what you need to look after yourself right now @Faith-and-Hope

In some better news - Cat has been outside for a little while (still supervised) but has also come to me wanting pats and is eating her night biscuits again. She still looks a bit dishevelled but am planning on giving her a good brush tomorrow now that she seems to be feeling a lot better.

Clover has grown so much already - it is quite noticeable when she is next to Tobes. They both curled up on the blanket on the back of the couch together last night ...well Clover snuggled in next to Tobes and Tobes let her 👍

I am going to head off for this evening - need to self care myself. Will check in with you when I can. Hugs and hugs and hugs my angel
