What has been your highlight today, no matter how big or small? Come share 🫶

@Chasingsunsets thank you my friend, the support button isn’t working for me but giving you a heart for the ‘support’ hehe: ❤️

What’s on for me today is that I’m gonna be having a group meeting with my OT and a manager of one of the NDIS home & living services via Microsoft teams this afternoon so hopefully I can get the options for…housing whilst being on the NDIS lol (I’m not eligible for SDA but I think I might be more eligible for ILO from what I was told)

im also out in the CBD and initially I wanted to get a drink so I’ll do that a bit later on after I write this post

Thanks @Mustang67 🤗. I have chronic fatigue, so i am very easy to fatigue from doing "normal" activities and have to manage it through reduced work hours, home help, and taking breaks / limited number of things a day. But sometimes it also flairs up worse - esp if i am physically sick or burntout. Hoping some time off work in Jan will help recover too, as its become a constant push.

It was quite nice being dopey and allowed to sleep post-procedure 😅. Restful even!

Done a little housework tidying this morning before my cleaner came, and got a load of washing on. *and* done the bills. So win win win for me today! Then i can rest and relax the rest of the day as a reward. Maybe even take dogs to a cafe later if i have the energy and feel up to wrangling them into/out of the car/harnesses.

Wonder what you and others are up to today?

Hope the weather is as good where you all are as it is where i am today.

Ooh, I think I am getting a sense of where you're going and it sounds so fun and engaging @Captain24 🤩

The swimming hole sounds divine too

You have to play mermaids, okay?! 🧜‍♀️

Oh, that sounds really lovely @GezzaP 🤩

Oh, i must have missed @Captain24 's post about going on a trip, sorry! A swimming hole though? That sounds nice! 😁

@AuntGlow what is "playing mermaids"? For the uninitiated 😅

@DownMoreThanUp duck updates 😍😍😍

@Blackcloud @Chasingsunsets i was going to say something in reply, and ive completely forgotten what. 🧐🤔. Must be contagious brain fog and memory from @Flutterbug9 😋. Hope yours lifts soon mate!

Some people were talking about hair dying so... what colours have people died their hair (ever!)?

Im pretty boring, ive once sprayed it blue for a dress-up party, and once my relative put a semi-permanent deep purple through my hair, but cos of my naturally dark hair it came out an auburn colour and looked quite natural and nice 😅. She was meant to do "streaks" of the dark purple, but she forgot lol. Both were over a decade ago.

We have a pretty awesome swamp, that’s not a regular swamp. It’s kinda like a dam but clean. It’s a pretty amazing spot. It’s stunning and natural, unlike a dam. @AlwaysMyself. I live in the country so we do swimming holes. Hopefully the weather will be nice and we can go swimming.

It's where you swim and pretend you're a mermaid 💅 (for those of us who watched H20 growing up). 😂

Your photos are always so stunning! @Chasingsunsets 🤩

It has slowed a bit, thankfully. And that's so okay, you don't have to share anything you don't want to. 🫶

Honestly, it was just on a whim - I was surprised too. 😂

You know, I completely get this. And fear around uncertainty is so human. Are you saying that you've noticed fear can impact your finances?

What are the 10 ever changing factors you have noticed? You don't have to share, but I am curious. You can also share over there, if you'd like - I am going to pop in there today. 🫶

I am the same, very sensitive to subtle shifts - I think it can be a superpower if you're able to harness it? (I am still working on this hahah)

Your lists sound very helpful! Two prompts I have been using lately are: "How can I soften into action?" and "What do I want to experience right now?" I think they both allow for gentle approaches to everything being asked of us, as well as encouraging more presence and enjoyment of the process itself.

What are your thoughts on this? - tagging you too @AlwaysMyself

I got the assignment done!! Whoo! Now I am just focusing on work for the next few weeks.

What about you? ✨

Thanks @heartathome I love that button 🙏, how’s your morning been?

It definitely takes special people to care for people who have dementia that’s for sure! Sometimes it’s definitely not easy hey so sad to see when they get distressed. I really cherish the stage where pop was in a ‘jokey/ humorous stage’ he used to like a joke in his time but it was nice to have a laugh. When he ordered another coffee his dementia had progressed but the amazing thing was he made the connection that the waiter was asking if he wanted coffee which was so awesome.

Haha I love the use of the bus stop!! My pop use to be a really organised man and loved travel so he would always be saying so right what time to we have to be at the airport and sometimes pack things etc. We would just say things like ohh it’s tomorrow we are off or later on and then he’d go “oh right ok then” and the thought would pass for a bit. Dementia is definitely interesting

I'm doing okay. Thanks for asking @Chasingsunsets ! I had a late night and early morning so I'm a bit tired and flat. I worry too much about things that are out of my control. 💛
