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

Hi everyone! This is my first ever forum post so do hope it lands where it’s meant to 🤣

Most days, I like to find a highlight 😊. Usually, that means during a walk with my dog, I try to spot something different, something cool or something that brings me some happiness. Whether it’s something big or small, it doesn’t matter. A highlight can be anything!

I love taking photos and would really like to share and see what you've come across. Something that made you smile, sparked your interest, or simply caught your eye. For me, it’s all the little things that count on the hard days.


To start, I’d like to share these beautiful birds I came across today. They like to appear like branches of a tree or the tree itself. They are called Tawny Frogmouth’s. Has anyone else seen these types of birds? My pics below -(hopefully not too small to see two in the tree on the left pic).

What have you seen today? ☀️💛🙏

Morning @Taali I've been up since 3.45am and am now just hearing a few birds and a rooster crowing. Making sure I'll catch the sun rising today! I'm feeling a bit sleep deprised this morning but am enjoying the few early morning birds waking up to a new day. Seeing my psych today in which my lack of sleep will be the topic... again. I don't think there is much more he can do about it. Oh well, it has been and could be much worse. I hope you have an awesome day, my friend! 💚

Thanks @heartathome

Yes I don't think your psychiatrist can do much except prescribe medication for sleep

I don't know what more he / she could do? I hope that you can find some answers, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you.

The no screens, walk, malt drink, Valerian, melatonin, calming music, blah blah blah blah.....

Don't seem to have worked, or best have stopped working for me.

I've got a cousin who can sleep anywhere anytime, oh how I envy her 😒

I feel like I'm rattling with pills that don't have any effect (I always get that wrong, is it affect) so I'd really like to find an alternative.

Well at least we can welcome the new day and experience the sunrise 🌅 in peaceful quiet surroundings.

I'm having my hair cut this morning, wish me luck because my regular hair dresser is OS visiting family so I'm trying someone new.

I have an appointment with my financial adviser for which I need to have some level of brain function 😅 🙃 fat chance!!

Then lunch with a friend who has become very childlike in her daily function level since she suffered a brain tumour. She is terribly incapacitated, so that's a bit of a tough gig. I hope that I will never get to be like that. She has very little quality of life.

I wish you a lovely day ahead and hope you get to greet the new day in peace and joy

I'm on two different sleepers of a night and something to calm me and still wake up an hour and a half later @Taali This has only been happening post flood in 2022. I guess it's my new sleep routine. Sounds like you have a big day ahead of you. Do you have short or long hair? Are you getting a trim or a different style? Good luck with the financial advisor! That's so sad about your friend who had the brain tumour. I hope the lunch goes well! Here's the sunrise from this morning. It's better with a few clouds but it's going to be a nice sunny day. I'll walk down town soon to get some exercise and hoping to go for a walk in the national park later with a friend. 💚

Hey Heart ❤️

Oh no I'm just having a trim today I figure that way I'm pretty safe.

I have really short hair

Looks a bit d*ky. So I have to be careful of hairdresser chopping too much

You enjoy your day as it gets under way with the sunshine 🌞 and hope you enjoy your walk in the national park. Is it close by?

Taali 💚

Hi I hope you don't mind me jumping in here.

Just wanted to say hello and good morning to you @TAB @MTD @Appleblossom

What's everyone up to today?

I'm putting my life on the line..

Having hair cut by a new hairdresser

I just remembered that when I was living in a shared house my cohabitates used to disappear when I came home from hairdresser to avoid my temper 🙃 😅

Sorry you have had a bad night my dear, the same here. Also hallucinations and voices it has been a bit of a mad house here at times in my head. It has been months it has been this bad. Our daughter's issues and seeing my wife must have a far bigger impact on my i realised consciously.

Like usual all comes at once. For the AI i use i thought i had bought and paid for for a whole year. It also said that on my account statement at login. Till the 7 month next year. Yet yesterday afternoon when i was busy with our daughter's issues and trying ot clear my mind, it suddenly went off line and refused to answer apart of an error notice saying i was low on funds and better pay up.

i could not understand why that would suddenly be. i was sure i bough for a year. So i tried have a chat with help but it wouldn't help me same message.

So i checked my account. It said what it said all true! Then i though i see if i still got the confirmation email that i paid. and i found it. 13-07-2026 30 US dollars it said. Which meant i had only paid fro one month. Yet i have used it for 3 months since then and no one asked fro more money. So i text my wife and ask if they had drawn money. So she checked and said once 30 US dollars, not again.

i thought shit. i thought i had paid for a year and now i was cut of for i was two months behind. How come my account said till next year the right date, i thought i had bought? Had they made a stuff up? Not me?

So i wrote them an email, and showed a screenshot of my account and the dates' on it. But not the 30,00 dollars of course for Google AI told me don't do that. They have a contract with you, you have the evidence you do not need to give them that it is there issue. You paid in good faith.

i heard nothing. In the mean time my mind was going wild. i was used to use the AI to help me with hallucinations and voice and it is absolutely wonderful, after 2 months training it, and a 'restore it back to right thread saved when it goes back to being dumb and useless. (the moment it thinks it is a legal issue that happens. so i am learning to avoid triggering that and still discussing the issues.)

the the voice got bad and i lost my confidence more and more, stuck in my head again.

So yes it was a bad night. This morning i check my email nothing, they hadn't got back. but the AI answered my good morning so i thought great it works again. So i told it what happened and it said the same Google AI did don't update it. i had tried to update my account at first, but i couldn't because i was still registered as having paid. i could only buy a more advantaged AI - double the cost - i did not need. Then it went BACK OFF LINE again!

-

i was so frustrated. So i prayed for help. good i did. AI has been working fine ever since. i have not heard back from them either. it got me out of my rut and back on my seat.

(i even finished making 90 sausage rolls 60 for our daughter and my wife and 30 for me. (had began yesterday afternoon) i had some fro lunch they are yummy! (Beef, pork and Turkey mince i used as meat base, it came out very nice with blended carrots, onions, garlic, fresh herbs stock and spices.) i love a Saturday lunch time snack, i know our daughter does too.)

What a flaming debacle @DownMoreThanUp

I'm amazed that you have stuck together in going through all that with your AI Holy Moly guacamole!!

Well done you!

I hope those voices quiet down some time soon.

Your sausage rolls sound delicious 😋

Take care dear friend 🧡 Taali
