Re: Taking the plunge
How do you have your coffee @Maggie? Maybe I forgot because surely I've asked this before (I'm not sure though haha!).
Quiet sounds good! Windy and rainy is perfect for staying in and not seeing people 😉😁 How was the rest of your afternoon/Evening yesterday?
Today for me is doctors appt this morning and family support worker this afternoon. We're doing the official documents to give to agent/landlord about requesting this reimbursement. GP will be really good because of the med hiccup 😖

Milk with no sugar @CheerBear . Not too strong, not too weak either. ☕️☕️😁😁 Hot, has to be hot. ☕️☕️☕️
Your day is sounding a bit/lot stressful with landlord stuff. Are you feeling ok ish with how it’s being handled? Good on you for doing it. An important message to get across, for you and others probably dealing with stuff like that. 💪💪💪 not easy either.
Good you have an understanding GP. When they get it, they get it, helpful. 💜💜
I got a lot of + stitch done yesterday. I’ve been avoiding a tricky part of the pattern, so it feels good to be tackling it. Just a ( maybe silly thought ), do you blow up the original pattern, ( photocopy ). Some are small and hard to read. Plus, you can mark off what you’ve done. 🤔🤔🤔
Saw kind of friend later in the day yesterday.

Re: Taking the plunge
One small thing like how you have your coffee feels good to know @Maggie 😊
The landlord stuff is doing my head in. Just after my NDIS meeting I received another full on email from the agent. She copied me in to an email she'd sent to my support worker, which I thought was really uncool. It said clearly that they weren't going to reimburse me for the tradesperson I hired to check and then turn off the gas. Said I should have waited 24 hours 😏😑 Pretty sure we shouldn't be waiting 24 hours with something dangerous going on with the house, but then again I'm just a renter so maybe it's OK (it's not and I know this) 😡🙁 With sibling and I looking at moving out together, I feel a bit less worried about the lease here though I really don't want to be in a position where I have to move. Next step after this is the tribunal and that would be a big stress also. But this is important for a lot of reasons beyond the $. It's not right and they need to know that.
What is the x stitch you're doing? I can imagine you doing tricky and intricate after seeing some of what you can do with it. How long have you been working on this one for?
I am using my phone for the pattern mostly because I don't have a printer to have a hard copy. It's not ideal but it's also a pretty simple pattern so I can keep up enough. Do you find it difficult to go through the back of the piece? It's taking me a while to guess where the right spot is. I need a backlight of some kind I think 🤔

Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear I thought the landlord stuff would be doing your head in, it would do that to anyone. You are absolutely right, it was a potentially dangerous situation, something that shouldn’t even have been questioned. Knowing that, and still having to deal with A holes is another thing. 🤬🤬All they are interested is is money. Same where I live, but different circumstances. I know it’s not the $ for you, and it’s important to be heard. It’s wrong, they need to acknowledge this. Difficult though. And shouldn’t have to be done. 💕
I might look at doing something after I leave here, but others need to speak up also.
Would you and sib consider buying together.? Might not be a possibility though, just a thought.
I’m still working on the music note @CheerBear . It’s been on the go for over a year now. I’ve been side tracked by stones, plus other interesting stuff. There’s a world of art out there, and online is amazing.
Kind of friend is having a tough time with her friend, so, what can I say. It is what it is, whatever that is.

Re: Taking the plunge
So many swear words about the way some/many put $ before people @Maggie 🙁 Looking in to speaking up could be a really empowering thing to do when you move. It's hard needing others to speak up and out too though. I've found myself in :pile_of_poo: standing up on my own.
I'd love to buy but too expensive. We could find a nice place together though and possibly one in a better location for high schools though still close enough for primary schools. We'll look after 25th of next month.
Your music note is so lovely 💜 I'm looking forward to sharing mine with you, though it is nothing like the beautiful work you do! Side tracked is my middle name, along with avoidance, and "I'm fine", and dark and twisty 😆 An endless world of things to create out there. It's awesome 😊
Tricky with all that being thrown into a kind of friendship. Listening to it all, trying to get your head around it, maybe even trying to empathise with all you are dealing with - it sounds tiring.
I better fly. This first appointment is at 9, right when school starts. It's a 20ish minute drive away and kids can be dropped off no earlier than 20mins before school so I'm going to have to be army style organised to do both at the same time. No other appointments available though. Wishing I could clone myself sometimes :face_with_rolling_eyes: Looking forward to crafting after it 🙂
Hope the morning/day is one with some good in it. Maybe some great housing news even🤞🤞🤞
