I don’t have a psychologist atm as too expensive without a mental health plan which I can’t get because my GP
is on long leave. Any way psych said couldn’t help with stopping smoking. @creative_writer The tablets work best for me they take away the nicotine urge. Still got some in the cupboard. Try again combination of tablets and acupuncture might just work.
Watching TV tonight news and current affairs on channel 2. Will go to bed in about half an hour or so.

@creative_writer I didn’t get far with psych. I didn’t think he had much to offer. I need a new mental health care plan from my GP when she comes back from leave and then I need to try another psych. I think. Sleep was interrupted I was up for 2.5 hours but went back to bed got 6 hours in total so ok. Walked to local shops twice this morning. Back a bit sore got a heat pad on it now. Watered pots under eaves. We’re supposed to get a week of rain starting later today. Hope we get it as the garden will love it and so will my indoor plants which are all outside atm.
Hope you are getting some uni work done .
I will treat myself to oysters for lunch. Just ate a snack but didn’t really enjoy it. Suspect lunch will be late. Will watch footy tonight. Have to do my Spanish lessons now late today. A slow morning for me. Enjoy your workout and shower.

@GezzaP there are some psychs who are really good for bipolar, maybe doing some research might be helpful. I hope you are able to rest up, sounds like you have a productive morning.
@Meowmy I've taken my PRN today which took the edge off the agitation. Gym in the afternoon sounds good, I just finished my workout and will be eating something in a bit. I don't drink coffee because of my stomach, but I do like having my matcha. Matcha helps with my anxiety and migraines, but I think caffeine seems to relax me in moderate amounts 🤣

I walked a bit this morning back still hurts when I walk. Watered pots under eaves. Did a little Spanish not that much really. @creative_writer
Had oysters for lunch, had a coffee, listened to radio, then did dishes.
Getting a massage tomorrow morning. He comes to me. Looking forward to that.
Puss asleep on my bed. Hoping we get some more rain.
Had bills in the mail. Had to draw on my reserve funds to cover upcoming bills.

@creative_writer I will get a pizza delivered and watch the footy tonight. Footy on a bit late for me so don’t know if I’ll watch all of it. Have to get up and shower before 7.45 in case massage guy comes at 8am tomorrow. Feeling a bit tired but did physio
exercises an hour ago - late for me - usually do them in the morning. Puss on my lap. Almost time to feed her.
