Re: Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea ☕💕
Good morning everyone 🙂
Hope you don't mind me coming past and saying hi. I'm having a quiet cuppa and thinking about what's on for the weekend and thought I'd say hi here. The air has a real bite to it this morning and it's making me think of how cold it's going to get over the next months. On my to-do list soon is figuring out how the heater works!
Hope you all have a good weekend 💕

Re: Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea ☕💕
Hi, @CheerBear, lovely to see you again this morning. 
Went to bed about 10.15pm last night. Up about 6.30am. Only one wakeup in the middle of th night. Very good night's sleep for me. 
Coffee is by my side too. Cooler today here too. It's like the bottom end of the cyclone that we've had over the past few days has also brought cooler weather in its wake. But it's likely to get warmer again here before winter too. Heating is a minimal requirement year round where I am.
Sending good wishes for good moments to all over this weekend.

Re: Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea ☕💕
That's an awesome sleep @Mazarita - great to hear! I saw a sleep tally somewhere and noticed you had run pretty low.
I'm delaying the heater being fired up for the first time because I know it's so hard to turn it off once it gets going and I worry about the cost of running it. It's going to have to happen soon though I think.
Have you got anything planned for this weekend?

@CheerBear,
Sounds like an old heater. What type is it that it is so hard to operate?
No real plans for the weekend. Just laying low while all the water from the local flooding of the cyclone recedes. Need to go get a prescription filled sometime day, have been doing without the med while the rain and wind has been battering us. It's a non-essential med though so it's been okay. Haven't been out of the flat for a couple of days so will be good even just to get out and do that. Might also visit a friend for dinner tonight.
How about you? What are you thinking of doing today?

@Mazarita - there's a gas wall heater that's very old and I'm a bit scared of it because I don't want it leaking anything into the air. There's also a wall aircon that I think has a heating function but there are so many buttons on the remote and I don't have the manual so it'll be a good google session to work out. Just one of the joys of renting I guess. By hard to turn off I meant that I've previously found it hard not to use a heater alllll the time once I start using one for the year. Each day I can delay the start of it is a day I'm not paying for it haha.
The weather where many of you all are sounds full on. I didn't think about things like medication and needing to go without because you're flooded in. Hope you are able to head out and find it enjoyable. Dinner with a friend sounds lovely. I find it hard to get out once I have been in for a few days, but it's often worth it.
I have to clean and tidy up after letting littles run a bit like whirlwinds through the place yesterday. Then pack them up as we'll head away to my family home for a few days. I'm going to head back to our house on my own for an early monday morning phams appt then have a couple of days to myself. The idea of doing anything right now feels hard but once I start I think it will just happen and it will be worth it 🙂
Better get cracking with it all! Hope you have a really good day 💗

@CheerBear,
Yep, renter here too, have been all my life. There is a wall aircon unit here too that has a reverse cycle heater on it. Works very well for our mild climate. As with the cooling during the summer, we tend to use it in bursts and then turn it off again. Old wall heater sounds like it could be reserved for the depths of winter?
Yes it has been full on weather here. Evacuations not far north and south of us. I am in SEQ.
Have I already mentioned to you that I have a Phams support worker too? She is great.
Have a great day and weekend!

Re: Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea ☕💕
@Mazarita - im clearly going to have a stop-start day here today lol. Coffee. Lots of it needed. Hope you're off to a better start! You did mention your phams worker and said you really liked her. So good to hear! I remember feeling a bit more positive after hearing that. I've only just started working with mine and I like her too. I read a little about the collaborative recovery model and I feels right to me. We've just finished doing assessments and looking at my values. I wonder if the programs are all run the same way? I'm a huge fan of journalling and documenting things so I am starting a new journal to be able to look through and reflect on. While it feels a little too out of reach and a bit late for me right now, i know that's probably my banana brain talking so I'm hoping that if i stick with it and chip away at it, I'll get there one day. On Monday I think there will be some more talk about how to get that break which is scary but needed. It means overcoming my fear of telling my family as they're the ones who will probably be asked to look after little fish.
On another note, do you or anyone know if there's a thread similar to the highlight of the day question? I'd really like to be part of something like that.
Washing machine beeped. It's my call to get back to work!

@CheerBear,
Stop-start day for me today too. Went back to bed not long after our last exchange and slept another couple of hours. Catching up on sleep missed I guess, or just being tired as often happens to me regardless of amount of sleep.
Glad you like your Phams worker. I think there might be some elements that remain unchanged from program to program but the finer details would probably be different from agency to agency and depending on the individual Phams worker. I have done assessments fairly regularly and there has been intermittent paperwork about values and goals. Mostly it's been practically oriented towards doing things. Really hope you can sort out a way to get the break you need!
I don't know of a thread relating to 'highlight of the day'. Just did a couple of searches but couldn't find one. Could be a good idea to start one! Do you want to do it? I'll try to remember to start it by the end of the day (when I've got a highlight) if you haven't done it before me.

Re: Anyone feel like chatting? Coffee/Tea ☕💕
Wow - way to go on the sleep @Mazarita. It's good you're able to catch up a little. Thanks for having a look for that thread. How about whichever one of us remembers later on starts it? I ask fish every night at dinner to do a round of 'best' and 'worst' bits of the day. They love sharing and it often starts some good chats. Your question about the highlight reminded me of it, and I find it nice (although sometimes super hard) to stop for a moment and look for that something good, even if it's found in a fleeting moment.
Finally packed, house tidied and ready to go. Big effort but after the drive it will be worth it. Off to be sociable for a while now. Hope you enjoy your dinner if you go out. Nice chatting to you @Mazarita 🙂
Hi @Former-Member, @Dothemo, @TAB, @Faith-and-Hope, @Former-Member (and everyone else!) - hope the weekend is coming along well for you all.
