Hope you’re enjoying your rest day @Shaz51 .

I have overcome my anxiety and sense of being overwhelmed since I was able to do all my administrative tasks related to having to cancel credit card. Also filled in the hospital admission form for cataract surgery early next month. Got kind neighbour to witness the form so i can post it in early next week.

I need to ring my health insurer Monday to check I’m covered for cataracts. Should be since I have the top cover. The insurance costs enough so I better be covered or I’ll be … off!

Also got GP calling Monday afternoon to update my referral to psychiatrist. My usual GP is on leave so hoping temporary GP can/will renew referral. Psychiatrist calling Tuesday afternoon. My current referral covers that appt. But thereafter need updated referral.

Acupuncture on Thursday. So a busy week. I also need to go to physio to get a new pillow. First session of acupuncture went well last week and back and neck are slightly better and headache is not as bad.

Excuse rant. Still a bit manic but not irritable today. Watching footy. Have a good rest day. @creative_writer @SmilingGecko

@Shaz51 thank you for beautiful photos.

@Shaz51 thank you for your warm cup of coffee.

@creative_writer Glad to hear you got out for a walk. I tend to oversleep when I’m depressed and under sleep when I’m manic. Yes I have a busy week.

Also saw gas meter reader man come in so expecting a bill soon. Should get electricity bill soon after but that should be in credit since I invested in new solar panels and a solar battery in January.

Had to get plumber out last week. I put in a complaint about the exorbitant price and got a partial refund. Won’t be using that company again. I hate the way tradies rip off women. Price was a joke. And then the toilet was playing up again even though SA Water claim they have fixed the problem. Toilet has been fine since so hoping will be ok.

Hope your nausea eases and you feel better. I’m getting hungry. Think I’ll have a baked spud.

Almost time to take another pain killer. Got a background headache and achy neck. Really should do physio exercises.

Puss has gone outside as is her habit at this time of day.

Really hope you feel better. You sound depressed. Would that be right? I’m hypomanic but much better today not irritable. Think I’ll have a cold drink while I wait for my spud to cook, but must do physio stretches first after take painkillers.

Well, damn, guys... That heater I bought is unfit for safe use in my room. So much for planning ahead for the cold, rainy days coming...

@SmilingGecko - What do you mean by sweet heartbeat? I hope you enjoy your night and book!

Moon-gazing sounds soothing. I really enjoyed taking pics of the blood moon a couple months back. We had bats flying around that night which made it way cooler.

I forgot to ask what qigong is, btw? Is that like tai chi?
