The Highlight of Your Day thread

@NatalieS I love that you seem more excited about my ability to consume an entire chocolate cheesecake in a day than you are about my ability to do a forearm stand.

I wonder which of these achievements @Former-Member is referring to in her celebration of my awesomeness.

@Phoenix_RisingI am referring to you just in general your awesomeness, but mostly the forearm stand!!

I'm Officially Impressed!

My highlight of the day was talking with my son for a few minutes.

Then I went outside and had fun with a toddler and her sikh grandfather. There is not a lot of English in our interactions but it is becoming a joy as she runs about enthusiastically looking for my cats and today she was helping me twist tap on to give the flowers a drink. He just nods and smiles and speaks his language to me.

I need to write my highlight now in case I have any more. ****Warning of self deprecating humour

my first highlight was opening my new IKEA kn-ife and testing it on my thumb and nail before I had it out of the box 😜 Highlight - I know it's sharp 🤕

a little while later I decided to do a cook up of veggies for a vegetarian pasta. Decided my oven and grill needed cleaning as you do, three hours later still trying to get every spot off but it's done. I put the capsicum into roast and got sidetracked gardening 😳:face_with_rolling_eyes:

Does this count as blackening the skin of the capsicum. Highlight - my grill still works really well 😀

I was then preparing veggies when I saw a chocolate nut bar on the table (s4s....it's called payback), decided I'd try it as my lunch time is now 4 hours ago and I haven't eaten today. I took one bite and thought 'oh my it might have peanuts in'....I'm allergic to peanuts. So teej says to herself that it will be ok and maybe I'm not allergic to them anymore....you know cause that's going to happen after being allergic to them for fifty years 😳. Highlight - I got to eat the rest of the Camembert without feeling guilty as dairy usually helps my mouth and throat stop itching 😝

But on a serious note I discovered something that really is a highlight. This was the kind of day that could throw me completely. I have been ok and my mood is good still. I've really enjoyed a day at home by myself and although have a rough week ahead I'm in a good headspace. I realised that I think the combination of my new hrt and antidepressant is actually helping. Usually by now in my cycle I'd be in a state to be in the waiting room in ED because I'm out of control and want my life to stop. I know it won't stay this way but I'll take today as a good day 💜🤗💐

PS I also had some more epic avatar fails and think I'll give up on it as I am over it. Watch that space probably for my fave one to return. Highlight - maybe the old teej will return after all even with all her baggage (old and new) and vulnerabilities! 😊

@Teej Lol.
