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.

Re: HOME

Cool festival @utopia. I just looked up the website. Have a great time. Wish I was going with you. Always nice to share these experiences with someone who appreciates them.

I went to Penang at one stage. They have some great street art there too. Done by a young Lithuanian artist.

Had my hair done; feel like a new woman. It's a start anyway.

Re: HOME

Am going to the festival tomorrow - sunday. My son has promised to be home by 9am so we can go. He's staying at his girlfriend house tonight.
@soul - such a pity we can't see photos of each other. But I'm glad you like your new hair.
@BlueBay - they cooked tacos. A little dry. They forgot to add the tomatoes. Lol

Re: HOME

There are dozens of street art pieces in Penang. Loved wandering about the streets discovering them. I really like the ones that incorporate sculpture as well such as the one with the kids and the bicycle.

Enjoy your day tomorrow. I hope the weather is good.

There’s a new sculpture exhibition coming to my city in a couple of weeks. I will go there with my daughter.

Pop up here and I’ll go again with you @utopia

How was your arty trip out to the country @utopia?

Re: HOME

@soul. I was a bit disappointed this year. They painted over the top of some of last years work. I thought they would have found more buildings / new walls to paint. So that wasn't great.
Some of the art work is truly amazing. The details on one picture - how she painted a face - the eyes alone must have had 20 different colours in them. They looked so real.
Was a very hot day. Should have gone earlier.
Today is day 3 of no drinking.
