Oh @outlander
I would still let your little sisters do their own clothes - but then - that's your choice - and I thought there was two of them - but it seems like a girls' sleep-over with the lot -
I am glad you are tapering your medication - I have done that myself - and right now it is not easy - but I have cut back and I dont feel like increasing anything again - I'm seeing my pain-specialist this week - and no way could I just stop something -
I had a look at your course on the net - that looks like just the thing for you - but when I was looking I got a bunch of pop-ups wanting to know if I was interested - wanting me to take the test - but I think I am over the hill about that
I think my mood mechanic gave up and went away - or maybe it worked and I didn't notice - but it sounds really cool for someone young
And advertising - I was looking up cruises to take my grand-daughter on one and now I get advertising on cruises all the time - esp on Facebook - they have given up on my going back to Lakes Entrance but I am planning on doing that one anyway - can't look up anything without lots of advertising - wow
One day after another Outlander - and the problems that seemed so massive become more managable in time
EG - the gardener is moving the lawn right outside my lounge right now and I am sitting here in my T-shirt and undies - after all - this is my home and I can do what I - but that damned mower - I can't hear the TV - I can't hear myself think
I think I am banging the keys on my computer so I can't hear anything else
Life will get easier I promise - it will be much easier when you can leave home
Hugs

Hi @outlander - You been on my mind a fair bit though have not been on the forums. I have had an extremely busy weekend. Yesterday was sleeping so much and I am still tired. I have just tried catching up with all the posts. How are you doing today my dear friend?
Have to go for a doctor's appointment in a few hours. Get an injection for a whooping cough vaccine. Think it is an injection and then subsequently some other meds to take. Not so sure. FUN TIMES! Think lucky I don't have much fear of needles....so I don't think.

Yes and I had a date Saturday night @outlander. The date went well and the guy has the most gorgeous dog. The wedding was a bit tough as I had moments I almost broke down. It was opposite the hospital where my dad was and passed away at. Still tough after 11.5 years.
Oh have you shared some of your drawings on other threads? Would love to see some of them if you like to share.
