Re: Taking the plunge
A pretty relaxing day here @CheerBear. A mental health education session via zoom late morning, and my new support worker later in the afternoon.
What's happening for you today? More work sorting things and training?

Re: Taking the plunge
That sounds like a good day for you hopefully @Sans911. Is your support worker face to face? I often find it tricky to start with new support workers. Hopefully it's going well for you.
I got my negative test result back so I can leave the house today 🎉 I have some work to sort out and through while the kids do their school work, then we're off to pick up some tech stuff I am borrowing (yay) on our way to see my parents (huge yay) 😁 It's the first time in around 6 weeks and everyone is very excited. Lots of cleaning and organising to do to get there but it will be worth it 🙂

Re: Taking the plunge
Yay for the negative test results @CheerBear & yay again for being able to leave the house. It sounds like it's going to be a busy but pleasant day for you and the littlies.
I have 2 support workers, and they are both face to face. I live alone, so that's why they're OK coming here. And we practice social distancing. I think (hope) the risk of infection is low. I don't think many of their other people leave their homes either.
Both of my support workers are really nice, and I think I got lucky (about time) that we got along right from the start. I asked for a second support worker on Fridays because weekends for me are difficult on my mh. And if my other support worker gets sick, she will cover him. They both know each other as today's sw is employed by the other.

Re: Taking the plunge
It's going to be a good day @Sans911 (I hope). My head is exploding with things to learn for work which always keeps me busy and happy, and seeing our special people will be awesome. We had family friends walk over last night out of the blue. All six of our kids haven't seen any other kids for two months so they ran around the yard squealing and squeaking and generally totally bananas. It was so cool 😊❤
Really glad you have good SWs you get along with. That's so important and can make a huge difference. Also nice to have that consistency if one is unwell or unavailable.

Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear That sounds awful. Cold here also, but better than yesterday, which was our first frost this year, and -1.
I hope your day improves, and warms up.
Any results?
More training today?
Hooing you see well and unwell people this weekend.
Yes, counsellor this pm. That’s something to look forward to today.
Sending 💜💜💜💜
@Sans911 Oh, Mr A let you sleep. 😻😻😻
I hope your coffee went down well, and today has good parts. 💙💙🐾🐾🐾

Re: Taking the plunge
Morning @Maggie - I hope today is a little easier for you.
@CheerBear - I'm sure you had a full on day yesterday. Must have been great to catch up with family, but you're probably exhausted today. Have a nice rest day if you can. 💕💕💕💕

Re: Taking the plunge
Morning everyone 🙂👋
Quick fly by hi from me. It's the most stunning morning here. So still and sunny but crisp and fresh. Perfect Autumn weather.
I feel like I haven't really stopped since Friday morning. I got all my tech sorted and set up, and we've seen our people which has been so nice. I also took the kids in to the office which was heaps of fun. A couple of work people met us there so I could borrow some things I needed. Best feeling to introduce the crew to them who they know all about but haven't met yet, and to have the crew run around and see where I've been spending lots of time. Mr Person and I scored a night to ourselves last night too. He's awesome 😊😍
Wondering how you're going this weekend @Maggie? I'm taking dot and stone stuff back to people's house today to play. @Sans911 I hope you are doing well this weekend. I think I read it was your birthday weekend @eth. Hope it's been a good one for you.
Big ❤ to all

Re: Taking the plunge
Good to hear from you @CheerBear . I guessed it was a packed, but good weekend for you, after a huge week. I hope you are holding up ok. Scoring a night with Mr Person, was a bonus. 😍😍
I’m guessing there has been so much to catch up on with People. Playing with paint and stones today sounds like a needed break. Enjoy.
Painting stones here today also. Sending 💙💙☕️☕️☕️
@Sans911 @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @eth @TheVorticon @outlander @Former-Member and all passing. 👋👋👋💜💜💜
