Friday Coffee and Chat -- 17th April 2026

@Chasingsunsets omg haha literally same, I feel you on that one 😂

Yeah I've never met her before whenever I come to the GP clinic and I can't put up with workers that give me that attitude cause then it'll be an instant end of phone call for me in that case 😂 and you're right, yeah it seems like for the most part I might have to wait until I'm feeling totally better but then theres also the chemist that i can ring up and see if they're fine with me taking the vaccine when I'm having the mild symptoms.

I haven't been bowling recently, no. The bowling events that the support work provider organises that mainly during the weekends but because I started joining a filmmaking inclusive program since late january this year and it goes on every saturdays, im no longer able to go to any events with a support worker on that day. i also can't do sundays because the NDIS support work rates for sundays are the most expensive compared to saturdays.

tonight i'm gonna be facilitating a peer support group as part of my current placement for the cert IV of mental health peer work, and then the next 2 days are gonna be pretty chill for me. a bit of shopping and cooking here and there i would think.

hi @MissGremlin my friend, i miss talking to you ❤️ how have you been this afternoon? 😊

Yep worn down, worn out... how much can a koala bear... rest up lovely, hope you have food in the house.

Pat Casper for me. I miss Tiger.

@MissGremlin

Hello @Blackcloud my sweet, i miss chatting to you too. Today's been a really hard day. How are you doing sweet? Did read that you've had a bit of a cold, hope you're feeling better soon.

@Dimity that's about how it is. Unfortunately I needed to go to the shops today but just couldn't manage it.

I shall give Casper pats for you. It's hard missing our pets.

hi @MissGremlin so far today's been fine for me. I had an appointment with my naturopath this morning & last Friday i had a massage session with her and i felt great as always after the session 😊 but I'm gonna see if I can book for an afternoon one rather than a morning to early-afternoon one even though its almost a 2 hour drive from my place but it depends if my support worker would be available during the late afternoon.

Thank you my friend, I hope I get better too. I just have to keep going with making my honey and lemon tea for it ❤️

I'm very sorry to hear todays been a hard day for you my friend, have you been doing anything for yourself as part of self-care today - even if its just resting? 🌿😊

Good evening @Shaz51 I hope your day has been going ok. Every time I see your name now, I feel like a cup of coffee. Lol

@Blackcloud I'm glad today has been fine for you sweet. That's great that you had an appointment today and that the massage helped. Hopefully you can organise the appointment in the afternoon if it works better for you.

Honey and lemon tea is really good for helping sore throats.

I've actually been in bed all day as I just haven't had any energy whatsoever. I just got up to feed Casper and take him out to the toilet.

Sorry @Blackcloud for delay 🤪, yeah I don’t blame you certain threshold then byeee haha. I hope you are feeling better soon my friend 😎

Ah I see no bowling for the moment, maybe sometime soon then 🙂.

I hope tonight goes well! Happy to hear about it if you want! Sounds interesting and would like to hear what you enjoyed about it. M I wonder what you might cook, ahh o wanted to do pasta sauce but too much time at appointments I ran out of time so I am hoping I can cook it tomorrow! I have wanted too all week 😂😂

@Chasingsunsets thank you friend ❤️ and I got a bit of a nosebleed last night lol, I wonder if drinking the honey-lemon tea that I made myself with boiling hot temperature played a part of it? Nosebleeds are the worst to get and I wish I never had nosebleeds ever in my life!🥲

I’ve been volunteering as a chat facilitator for a bit there since February and then when I decided to apply for the cert 4 of mental health peer work, that’s when I decided to do that role as part of my placement for this certificate that I’m doing right now (at the same organisation I facilitate the peer support groups). I know I mentioned to you last time that I was gonna plan on finishing the accounting certificate course but that plan fell through & looking back at it now, I’m really glad that it did!☺️
