Taking the plunge

Thanks @Maggie. Planting with my daughter was a nice activity. Seeing my Dr this morning, time to be honest about how bad it is I think. Hope you have a nice Monday 🌻🌻

@Molliex Sounds like a good, but difficult decision. Fingers crossed you get support and help.

Always ready and willing to listen if it’s helpful. For now, sending these 💜💕💜💕

Dear @Molliex ... sending you the courage to speak openly and safely to your GP this morning. I'm confident all well be okay. Would love to hear afterwards, if you're up to sharing on your thread. I love the results of your gardening exploits with your daughter. We have a gardening thread here somewhere, perhaps you could post there about it? Ummm ... not sure if its on the Carer side of the Lived Experience side? I cross over all the time, and get mixed up where I'm at. Ha ha.

@Maggie .... wow ... a meeting with a pollie. Well done you! You are becoming quite the activist arent you? I can understand you'd be really nervous about this meeting however. I'm so glad that the 'angry' Maggie has come out in order to defend your rights. I can only hope that this meeting may result in some action with regards to your accommodation situation.

@CheerBear I love waking up early in the mornings and reading the discussions between you and Maggie. I sometimes feel a bit like an evesdropper, but I figure you know I'm around anyway. Along with probably 100's of others. 😁

If you're reading Mumi ... I hope you are safe and you and your D are doing okay. I miss you, and hope one day you will return. Perhaps under a new guise? I'll be watching for you.

Hi also to any others drifting through.

Thanks @Former-Member. Appointment was ok, but lots to process. I'm going for a swim now, will update later x

I will watch for your update @Molliex . Glad your appointment went okay. I hope the swim allows you to process things to some extent. I'm going to be away all afternoon ... an appointment for hubby at our nearest large Regional hospital. Two hour drive to get there, and likely a 15 minute consult with some fancy specialist. Probably cant do anything anyway. Then likely in heavy traffic for the two hour drive home again. Oh well ... gotta try, as hubby not at all well, and seemingly getting worse again. Anyway ... I will catch your update upon my return home, if I miss it before I leave. Hope your day is reasonable and that you find things to occupy your mind and body.

Sherry 👍💕

@Former-Member It’s so nice seeing you around.

Good luck at the appointment this afternoon, hopefully the back pain isn’t too bad after a long drive.

I smiled at the ‘ activist ‘ @Former-Member it’s so not me, but no choices left. I now have a time, 10 am, so I can contact counsellors partner and hope for some support. It’s going to be nerve racking, both waiting and doing, but.........✔️✔️Boxes. 😁😁😁

All the very best today. 💜💕💜💕

@Molliex Hope the swim helps. 💜💕💜💕

Kettles on @CheerBear and anyone who would like to join us.☕️☕️☕️☕️

How was your yesterday? Hope unwell person had a stable kind of day, and it went smoothly.

I’m guessing the gig was excellent, as it usually is.😁😁😁

Did you manage to spend time with Sophie? I got a few rows done. A resident asked if she could see it as I mentioned it to her a few days ago. She’s very keen, so it looks like you have started some over the waters 😁😁😁💕💕

My counsellors partner moved a few things around on her schedule and will be with me on Thursday morning. Plus, she wrote a fantastic letter detailing the past year, both here and the housing mess. Though it will be very hard, this has taken so much pressure off, as we can discuss the details outlined there. So all looking good.

@CheerBear Go you 💜💜💜 A whole day with gentle challenges, sometimes things fall into place over time. You are doing great. Big yey from me and very proud of you. 💕💜

Sophie is sounding special already. 😍😍

Are you in your first or second home atm? Not sure if you travelled back yesterday, or maybe that’s today.

I struggled with the letter. Some confronting stuff. Condensed version, big reaction. Unfortunately it’s like that at times. I suppose it’s the vulnerability, not something I particularly like. I will need a few masks, but I can juggle a few at a time. I just hope it’s not all in vane.
