The Weekly Friday Feast

The Weekly Friday Feast

Thank goodness it's Friday (or TGIF as some say!)

We thought we would start a thread where we could come together every Friday and "share a meal" and debrief about our week.

To participate, there are 2 requirements -

1) Bring a (virtual) plate of food

2) Bring a topic of discussion

So pull up a virtual chair, post a picture or description of what (virtual) dish you're bringing along and say hi and let us know how your week was.

Looking forward to seeing you at our first Friday Feast!

Chat soon 🙂

Hi everyone, Friday is here and that means the Feast is now on!

Here's a first 'virtual dish' to get the ball rolling: vegan potato pancakes with raspberry apple sauce.

How's everyone's week been?

My week has been good @Mazarita

You start your new role next week, is that right?

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Hi @Mazarita We just had lamb chops and vegies plus.

I am pretty good. Today, I had an invitation from a singing friend, went to coffee with a writing friend, an electrician fixed and returned an old lamp base that both my grandfather and brother had worked on ... I want to preserve for eternity ... I've been on cleaning frenzy ... air con vents etc etc

I phoned on spur of moment, a recommended psych doctor for son. She returned call, chatted to me for 5 min and to him for 7 minutes. He agreed to change doctors and figured she would be a lot better than his current one (first adult shrink). I am glad I did not dilly dally as I am so used to caving in to kids ... he could see the wisdom of a change ... his current dude was just in it for the money.

Relief phew!

Hi @NikNik, glad to hear you had a good week. Yes, volunteering at the op shop starts now on Monday. Looking forward to it.

@Appleblossom, sounds like a productive and enjoyable day. Great news about the new psych doctor for son.

I think you are around too, @Crazy_Bug_Lady. Howdy.

My week has gone okay too. Saw my current psychologist for the last time today and we departed on good terms. Funnily enough we probably had the best session we've ever had. Pleased about that.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Happy Friday all..

I survived the week ~ didn't think I would Sat, Sun & Mon... (hellish days)... Went to yoga x 2, caught up with 2 friends, saw psychologist, read 2 novels + a few chapters of a book on trauma, survived on little $$... Mixed feelings about it all.. Paranoia is creeping in at the edges of my mind... Depressed. Trying desperately to motivate myself to at least try to get to parkrun in the morning... Don't bet on it.

Sorry I don't have a virtual plate to bring again... Charger for laptop needs fixing or replacing.

Namaste,

A

Namaste, @Former-Member. Glad you are here after a mixed bag week, Anna. At this moment I'm drinking a mineral water with lemon, lime and bitters cordial. It's a warm and humid summer and I'm feeling queasy from the day. Off food except the virtual kind for now. The drink is picking me up a bit though just as the lovely twilight is upon us. Cicadas going chirp chirp.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Sounds relaxing @Mazarita.. Except for the queasy bit. I'm glad you ended your sessions with the psychologist on a good note. I'm really hungry - potatoes are cooking. I'm just laying in bed... I'm feeling really alone... It's a big feeling I've had for a week...

Your day sounds good @Appleblossom & I hope the new psychiatrist is more helpful to your son...

Namaste,

A

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

@Shaz51, glad you are getting to relax after a big week. Partner here bought a giant bag of rice that was on special at the supermarket this week. Looks like we'll be getting into some rice for a while! Mythbusters is one of his fave shows.

@Former-Member, sounds like a real mixed bag week there. Sorry you get those lonely feelings. But here we are together now in our virtual headspace at the least. Here's (non-alcoholic) cheers to us all.
