@outlander Keep all the challenges you have risen for and overcome in your back pocket, they can often help in new unique ways. Sorry the sector is not working out too well for you. I always knew I could not do disability support work cos of my neck, and my little foray into the Masters was brief, but at least we keep having a go and getting informed, Needs to pay off in some way. Dont lose hope. Focus on your own health now. I know a lot of women who see themselves in carer roles and do not even want full time work. I am getting to the point where I do not compromise myself for a dollar, but for a long while, like most people I had to s***
k it up and do what was necessary.
I went into CBD today. Supposed to do a dance workshop as participant for goodwill at an African festival. The darn train waited on platform and they just kept delaying the time on the board and not even making announcements. I missed "my gig". never mind it was a charity and I paid already. Had a couple good chats on way in which helped counteract my annoyance then went to a gallery shop and museum and enjoyed looking at lots of stalls. Got 2 nostalgic tea towels for 2 girlfriends Chrissy prezzies.
I also said "no" to the homeless guy getting in my way to buy a meat pie. He was pretty rude and I no longer feel sorry for everyone on the street. For 20 years I gave and my son gave, but learning to draw the line. They are a mixed bag like everybody else.
Keep being YOU!
