Hi @Crazy_Bug_Lady & everyone who will be joining us this afternoon/evening...
Today I bring you vegan strawberry cheesecake to enjoy!!! My partner & myself made some this week & just before I had my last piece, which was the best piece! It aged well & the flavours improved! Yum!! And people often think vegans MISS OUT!! We don't!

@Crazy_Bug_Lady I'm glad you called in sick & we able to recharge your batteries. It is also good probably for you finacially that you got called into work - even if you a knackered!! I'm glad you are feeling less fragile
I am exhausted too - I finally fell asleep after 2am (went to bed at 10:30pm - partner was having trouble sleeping, so I was talking on & off till 12) - woke up at 5 - thankfully I fell back to sleep untill 7, so 5 hours sleep (not enough for me - I function well on 8, but lately that is only happening about once a week) - then I went to yoga & it was one of the best sessions of yoga I have ever enjoyed - I just felt present in the moment most of the time & my breathing in through the nose & out through the nose has improved considerably - my lovely yoga instructor gave me encouragement on my controlled breathing & balance in one of the poses - there were some challenging poses, but when I generally have been doing challenging poses I've thought things like "why am I doing this" - none of that today! Today after class I thought I would encourage the yoga instructor by telling her I really enjoyed the session & then she gave me MORE encouragement. She said I kept improving in one of the challenging poses (which we worked on quite a bit) & told me I was getting STRONGER! I felt endorphins & an even greater sense of sccomplishment than usual
& yes that was my 2nd session of yoga this week, so YAY for routine!!
Then I had an appointment with Partners in Recovery & they had already found me a psychologist who does the therapy I have been searching for for months. CBT for psychosis. I am excited. After my exhausting appointment with Partners in Recovery (exhausting, because I had to explain painful & stressful issues past & present - at the end my legs were shaking non stop under the table!) I rang up the psychologist and made an appointment for before xmas.
Kind thoughts,
A
