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.

Boy that was one busy day @Zoe7. Don't think you could have fit anything else in. No wonder y9u can't think now.

I also rang the pay person to find out about my pay for the rest of the term and into the holidays and went to the shop. I have been trying to do my planning all night but I really can't think - I don't want to leave it until tomorrow but I may have to because it is doing my head in tonight @utopia It would really help if I knew how long I was having this class for but for now I have to plan one lesson at a time - makes it hard when I am trying to connect each lesson for them to the previous one also.

Re: HOME

Of course you need to know how long you will be working with that class @Zoe7. Although if you just assume, for the rest of the term, that makes it easier to plan.

Re: HOME

I have been given no clear indication one way or the other at this stage @utopia but we have a meeting Friday after school with the HR person so I will ask those questions then.

I have just organised what I am going to do for Science so I can get that all sorted tomorrow - need to print some things out and laminate them and get a diagram organised. That means I only really need to sort out Maths tomorrow but I know what I am doing for that already - just need a couple of worksheets for different levels and that is done. I am feeling a little better about it all now - I hate to leave things until the last minute.

What are your plans for tomorrow? Or are you still just taking each day as it comes?

In response to: Re: HOME

Re: HOME

One day at a time @Zoe7. Sometimes 1 hour at a time. Just see how I go.

Hopefully Friday you will get your answers.

It seems like you are already organised, you just have a little bit of paper to finalise.

Re: HOME

One day or one hour at a time is ok @utopia The important thing is you are looking towards tomorrow - that is an improvement and good to hear. It must make you feel a bit better that the grass is mowed too - one less thing to worry about

Yeah I have a bit of work to do on the planning tomorrow but now that I have it clear in my mind it will be easier to organise. I also need to give a couple of kids an extension activity but will think about that one tomorrow also.

Now that it is a bit clearer for me I should be able to get to the pool tomorrow so tht will be good for me also - haven't been for over a week now and I do miss it.

In response to: Re: HOME

Re: HOME

I hope you enjoy the pool tomorrow @Zoe7 - exercise and relaxation in one place.

Sweet Dreams. I'm off to bed.

In response to: Re: HOME

Re: HOME

I hope you slept well @utopia and today is kind to you. I slept okay and feel like I can get to the pool today - that is the plan anyway. Then I will organise what I need for tomorrow when I return home this afternoon.

Re: HOME

Guess what?

I went to the movies tonight and saw A Star Is Born and I cried. I actually cried for the first time in months. Didn't think I could cry. Thought I might have been too medicated. But nope. I cried! Felt good.
