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

Wow @eth. That sounds so wonderful. And you received your own name. That's really special. Such wonderful memories/

@TAB. That's great news. Chatty when you didn't want her to be. But it's worked out for you in the end. Hopefully she will follow up with some work contact details for you.

Re: HOME

Well who knows what was going on with her today @utopia .. she usually talks and or lets me be if I’m not in sharing mood. Dunno. The fb thing seemed a bit out there. She had obviously remembered past conversations and tried to help me/be friendly. 😸

Re: HOME

Came across this just now. It might interest you @utopia and @Faith-and-Hope "They want to work "two ways" – remaining true to their culture and values while interacting successfully with white society....
Communities want to develop, but not necessarily in the ways white people think they should...."....

Re: HOME

The way it should be @eth ..... let the people consider things, and work out what they want to offer, and how ..... but also let the space be available to them to expand into .....

Re: HOME

@eth. A really well thought out article. Exactly what is needed. We have to stop this ridiculous idea of assimilation into our culture. They have their own culture. We need to support them in maintaining their culture. And listen to what each area / village needs.
Thanks for posting this.
