Fancy a cuppa , Connect now 2

Hi @rav3n @Shaz51 @Glisten @MissGremlin @Blackcloud i already walked up the local shoo and watered seeds and pots. Did my Spanish lessons.

Slept over 7 hours best in a fortnight fantastic feel much better today. Hoping I can sleep well over next few days that will stop my hypomania.

Sitting with heat pad on my neck before I start getting lunch.
Talked to tradies about getting a solar battery and replacing some old panels. Also had a phone call from psychology office to get my medicare number now I’ve got a mental health care plan to cover my next 6 appts.

Lovely day here. Will plant some seeds in the afternoon. 26 degrees.

Hello @GezzaP, sounds like a productive day so far, well done ☺️.

7 hours of sleep is awesome, fingers crossed you continue to get a good sleep.

Hope heat pad helps your neck, what's for lunch today? Fantastic news about mental health care plan to cover the next appointments.

Hope your afternoon goes well ☺️

@GezzaP How good is sleep 😴 💤💚

The most wonderful thing is sleeping.

It’s right up there next to breathing.

I love sleeping! Until recently I was sleeping for 9-10 hours! But in the last fortnight I was sleeping only 3-4 hours and waking up and being wide awake. Trying to wear myself out in the garden so I’m physically tired. Planted my seeds. After a break I will pour boiling water on my weeds. I find this a good way to get rid of them and it’s much easier and effective than pulling them out. Also no poison.
After gardening will do some more Spanish lessons. Will also do my back exercises.

Going to try acupuncture on my back and neck tomorrow.

I had bangers and mash for lunch @MissGremlin . Planted my seeds. Just having a break before do weeding.

It is so nice not to feel tired hoping I wear myself out gardening and sleep well again. Sleep is so important for my mental health.

Hope your day is going well.

@GezzaP bangers and mash for lunch sounds delicious 😋. Well done for getting the seeds planted, what are you growing?

I bet it's nice to not feel tired and sleep is definitely important for our mental health. Really hope you can have a good night's sleep again tonight ☺️.

My day is going ok.

I have planted many things over the last few days @MissGremlin Flowers, sweet corn and various colours of bamboo. Mostly were seeds. Did plant seedlings of petunias and potulafas. Also bought two small bird’s nest ferns. Want to buy some indoor plants and buy some orchids. But can’t afford this fortnight as have lots of big bills to pay.

Think I have decided to get a solar battery and get interior painting done. Will need to withdraw some money from super to pay for it all. Also ordered some roller shutters. Home maintenance can be very expensive. But my unit needs it as I have never painted bedrooms and the ceilings in 3 rooms and on the porch need painting. My gardener/cleaner said he’d do the painting but he never gets around to it and I’m sick of waiting for him to do it.

Hope your day is going well.

ooo bangers and mash sounds YUM, i love anything that involves potato hehe @GezzaP

hope the gardening session is going well 😊

I love potatoes too. Gardening was fun. I love to garden but my back complains after a couple of hours. Planted seeds and did an hour’s weeding. More weeding to go. Expecting more seeds to come in post. Beautiful day 26 degrees nearly put shorts on. Wanted to weed down back but can’t see ground and I’m scared might beba snake. Will do that area on a cool morning.

Hope you had a nice day. @rav3n

Hi @AlwaysMyself I appreciate the check-in my friend ❤️ I'm so glad that this trimester is already over so I'll be heading into my next trimester which starts in November! The new course/degree I've applied to that I've mentioned briefly about within the past 2 weeks, I applied for the trimester 1 2026 intake because that was the only intake that was available. 🙂

My 4th shift went alright. At that time I didn't really feel like wanting to do the shift, but I had to anyways because I really wanna finish my placement era without delaying it. I just got approved for service yesterday (yay!) and so at this point, I think I can only handle doing 2 interactions per shift and if possible, I hope the staff will be able to accomodate my chosen hours (I prefer it to be just 2 hours per week or per fortnight) after I tell them.

The shift was the day before the challenges with the train cancellations occured 🙂 -- so I had the shift last Friday and then the train cancellation situation I complained about was last Saturday.
