Well I'm finally home (again).
4 hospital stays in 91 days. Wow. No wonder it feels so strange to be in my own house again. Adjusting will take time. Cooking for myself will take time.
My house is in the same condition in which I left it. A pigsty. So no one room has warmth and charm to lift my mood. Will have to slowly start cleaning up - one room at a time.
I did go and watch my son play soccer in the finals. I'd been so sick this year - thst it was the first game I had been to all year. His team lost. But they play again next week. So still stand a chance of playing the grand final.
My son is still living with my mum. Has been since the end of April. Hopefully he will see how much I've improved on my new anti depressants and anti anxiety meds. Then he may choose to come home soon.
Was up and doing the washing early this morning. But now reading a book in bed.
Am very bored. But have AA Meeting tomorrow night.
And I have my WorkCover IME (independent Medical Examination) - psych interview with a tough psychiatric on the 30th of this month. Think it could be on Wednesday. And then I have my much waited for Psychologist appointment. Can't see him when I'm in hospital (too far away).
So that's it for now. A new thread for a new beginning.

Even stating that so clearly is a Great Step.

@utopia

I was not suggesting you need to be patient, just that I have noticed a weird gestalt or set of synchronicities when the timing appears right: ... whatever that means.

@Faith-and-Hope Look up Korie Heritage Trust Inc. That will show you activities in Melbourne. A weaving day is coming up

Uni work permitting, I will see if I can make it.

Hi @utopia How is life treating you my beautiful cocky friend?

In response to: Re: HOME

Re: HOME

Just bored @Zoe7. Doing the same old, same old. Nothing.

Am lying on the couch, checking my messages. Tired of reading. Nothing else to do.

What are you up to? How did your first morning back at school go? Have the nerves settled down?

Re: HOME

It was an afternoon at school @utopia and I don't think I will be settled properly until I get the feedback from the Principal. She seemed to be typing a lot so I don't expect it to be a short summary I know it is a process I have to go through but it is very disconcerting - I didn't know she would be there the whole time until I started but I dealt with it ok - nothing I can do so I had to. At least I know where the kids are at now and can tailor future lessons accordingly - should make it easier to organise Friday's lessons.

I have done some grocery shopping and been to the pool today. Watched a movie this afternoon and been on here. Going to try to begin planning tonight but have a couple of days to do that so no drama if I don't get to it.

It sucks that you are bored - nothing worse than having some energy and nowhere to put it. How is the painting of the doors going - or are you yet to get anymore special paint?

In response to: Re: HOME

Re: HOME

Haven't got the paint yet @Zoe7. Finally have the money (ex husband paid some owed child support) , but have to wait til I go to the big town.

Do you mean the Principal sat in your whole classes, all afternoon? Wow. Glad you kept your head together. Sounds like you're just going to slot back in as if you'd only been away a week or two. Well done.

My friend has been posting these wonderful Tamil recipes on facebook and now I'm starving. But I only want to eat Are Lanka Tamil food. Someone else cooking it (of course).

In response to: Re: HOME

Re: HOME

Yeah she sat in the whole time @utopia - in a way I am glad that I didn't know that beforehand as I would have been even more nervous than I already was

I am more looking forward to Friday as I am teaching Maths and Science and I enjoy teaching both of those.

Just had to look up Tamil food and it does look delicious - I bet there is nowhere in your town that makes it??

In response to: Re: HOME

Re: HOME

We don't even have Indian food in town, so no Sir Lankan. No Tamil. But we have a bad Chinese restaurant. Lol. Lucky us.

I think I'd prefer not to kn9w if she would be sitting in on the class before hand. Less chance for my nerves to build into huge anxiety.

So how many days or half days are you up for at the moment?
