Life and trauma

Hugs @tyme

Sorry to hear that you have been dealing with difficult stuff. I am glad that you were able to speak with someone supportive and that now you are feeling a little better. Don’t forget your self care hun. Is there anything that particularly works for you?

MJG017 how did the workshop go?

Hi @Former-Member, the workshop went really well. I got to speak to a lot of professional people in the field and they were very interested in what I had to say about my own experience. I think we got a lot of really good ideas to put into the paper the researchers are doing. The bonus was everyone got a $150 giftcard for attending. So $300 between my partner and myself.

@MJG017 sounds like it was a great experience. And bonus on the gift cards, kind of makes up for the chocolates you missed out on with the other one 😂.

@Former-Member

Yep, $300 will buy a lot of choccies. Or a little bit of Lego! 🤣

@MJG017 shame its not the other way around. Alot of Lego and a little bit of chocolate. At least the Lego lasts, once you eat the chocolate, it's gone and you don't have anything to show for it other than a bit of extra fat 😂

@Former-Member

Yeah... you're right... that would be better in the long run. But I doubt the Lego people will make that happen any time soon.

@MJG017 but why does Lego have to be so expensive. I miss being able to buy and build it. Need to sort out my Lego so I can actually build some.

I'm so sleepy this morning and I realised that I stuffed up the inspection day, it's actually on Wednesday not Monday so now I have to ring up and change my doctors appointment back to in person not a phone call. Feel like a bit of an idiot right about now 😂. Bonus i guess I have a couple more days to finish any cleaning. How did you sleep? Got any plans for the day?

@Former-Member

I don't know... capitalism I guess. You don't become the biggest toy company in the world by giving your toys away... or even by charging a reasonable price. 😁

I did try one of the alternative brands a month or so again... i probably showed you a photo.. it was the yellow Dodge Viper. If i didn't, i meant to... but it's a good day if i remember my name these days. 🤣

Just tell the Dr's office that the rental people screwed you around again and it's their fault you need to change the appointment back to in-person. It's basically true. It's good that you will get to have a fact to face appointment though. I know the phone is probably easier, but in person i think i find more helpful.

No plans today for me at all. I just looked at the time and it's 4.30! I go up, had breakfast... watched youtube... had some lunch... watched more youtube... came here to catch up on some emails and posts. It's all life in the fast lane here! 🤣

@MJG017 you did show me the dodge viper and it looked pretty good even not being Lego brand.

We have names? What day is it? All the days just merge into one. Wait i age again next month, nope February can't end, I'm not ready to get older yet 😂.

I was going to ring today and change it but I chickened out, anxiety got the better of me. Maybe tomorrow I can do it.

Such a productive day for you 😂. I attempted to have a nap about 11am, slept for 20 minutes, woke up having a panic attack so I quit trying to sleep and did some colouring instead. I did make lunch but only took a few bites and then I was full.

@Former-Member

Stupid birthdays and their stupid mocking candles! I like the cake though. 😂

Not to put pressure on, but it's last chance tomorrow then to change that appointment. Not that it's a huge deal, you'll talk to the GP regardless. They'll be in their office, either on the phone or talking to you in person so you're not really changing that much be calling them and letting them know you'll be there in person.
