Hello @tyme
What's wound you up?
Do you normally sleep well?
We haven't officially met. Do you want to tell me a little bit about yourself, at the moment? It's absolutely fine if not! I won't take it personally! 😊 💛

Hey @heartathome 🙂
Nice to "see" you.
Nothing wound me up. It's my regular. I don't want to stop once I'm awake, and want to keep doing things, so I don't sleep until I pretty much drop....
I just want to stay awake and do things! That's my issue! I just love doing things.
Nothing to complain about at all 🙂
How are you?

@Snow_Leopard thanks for the message, im sorry your mum has had to deal with it too.
Im glad to know that it isnt just in my head and that pushing myself further tgrough it isn't going to fix it. Im going to try to work with my ndis supports to try to manage it better.
Im lucky I already have a good ndis team, as big changes are about to hit ndis. I spoke to my coordinator today and they were emailed by ndia about all the changes in the roll out of the ndis act changes and what it means. The ndia are too concerned with saving money than actually helping people, it sucks how the ndis is slowly getting etched away, its not person centred anymore and people with disabilities are treated like public stunts and political weapons. I could rant for ages about the disability sector for ages, but at least its better than not having anything and im so grateful for the help I've received from the ndis over the years.

Hi @Shaz51 and others. Happy Friday!
Another week has happened full of drama in my life and I’ve survived it! I’ve posted in Fancy a cuppa , Connect now 2 so I won’t really go into what’s gone on but in summary of todays highlights:
- Had a great discussion of my carer issues with my carer peer worker
- Started knitting my 2nd kids jumper for charity
- Dealt with an annoying health issue
- Read a new cross stitching magazine via my online library and found 2 new designs to stitch
- Had a relaxing shower
- Woke up early and enjoyed the silence before my housemate woke up
- Decided on a new self care strategy to help me deal with my life stressors at the present time - journaling.
- Made plans for the weekend including watching sport on tv and a potential movie marathon of Sister Act.
Take care!
