Night Shift

hmm yeah that and indecision, I'm in the Olympic Team for them lol @Former-Member

Yep! Strong tea sounds good to me @TAB. Having promite and honey on toast.

Talking food again, anyone would think that I'm obessed with food, lol.

I lost 16kg recently, but I think I have put some of it back on, lol.

I can be a bit of a comfort eater. Sometimes I'm disciplined and other times not. The last couple of days, not.

Hi Everybody 😊

Hi @TAB

Thanks for the call-out .... I jumped ahead a few posts answering you cos when everyone is chatting it races off .... so have to go back and see if I missed anyone asking me something ...

Hi @Former-Member

My D3 ended up on an alternative academic pathway mid last year when she started to lose her will to repeatedly catch up the next time an illness or injury bowled her over ... which she had been doing for two years by then .... and we were in the worst of WH's emotional melt-down at the time .... and that was because we we're trying to rescue him ourselves, trying to wake him up to his illness and get him to fess up to the doctor ....

Long story short, she just didn't have the stuffing to get up and go anymore, and the alternative pathway meant a lower level of stress, but she could still access tertiary entrance for her fields of interest based on TAFE certificates and diplomas. Most areas of interest for her require interviews, aptitude tests, and portfolios of work or diplomas / certificates of achievement, so even if she had taken the standard pathway, she would still have had to apply for tertiary courses this way anyway .... effectively it's a short-cut that hasn't caught on yet.

It does mean she doesn't have to sit any exams at the end of this year, so she will be finished in about six weeks or so .... double yay !!

Just have to actually get her there .... 💜

I thought I'd be able to put some photos on here, but it's not so easy. Will work it out another day.

..hearing @Former-Memberthat about comfort eating, and well done re weight loss. a bit of 'settling' after is normal

yeah, been there re weight ups and downs, losing 16kg at moment would be brilliant, chicken and egg re motivation I guess, re weight and feeling better, well, for me anyway.

At least if your going to have a superpower at all 'willing things' is a pretty cool one to have @TAB. I think mine would be procrastinating which just sucks but ahh well that's how superpowers go😜

I'm wearing my Cerise nail polish super-power this week ...

Jus' sayin' ..... it powers me through the week when my batteries run low ....

Fav colour .... that's what does it .... 😆

Prob a good thing my fav colour is not lime green 😆 ❣

That's a relief @Faith-and-Hope 6 weeks, yey! It is so easy to fall behind in high school, especially grade 11 and 12, very stressful years. Too many assignments. What amazes me is the first few weeks of the term seem to be wasted and then all of a sudden every teacher gives out the assignments and they all have to be done at the same time. No excuses for lateness, but there is a way for an extension, but it's a hassle.

So will your daughter be going to graduation night? I'm guessing it's a huge event all over Australia.

I'm going to have to head off to bed soon, I wonder if I'll sleep well, after being in bed on and off all day, lol. I'm not going backwards, I'm going forwards. Used to spend alot of time in bed years ago, not going there again.

it's fine @Faith-and-Hope yeah, just sorta floating in background myself, not jumping in, just appreciating cyber 'company' well, inbetween silly james bond movie lol

@Former-Member

Your dog sounds like a little beauty, Kira is my shadow too. She was just supervising me preparing dinner for tomorrow night- now she is asleep on my bed.

I actually think I would live where I am because it ideal for me. There are many places were I wouldn't mind living - KIrra, Noosa Heads and Bilinga and North Queensland Annandale.

Atm I live on the Gold Coast about 45 mins from Brisbane and 45mins to Coolangatta. For job reasons would stay in here because I still have the options of working in Brisbane.

But the Gold Coast and the M1 is so busy and when when I moved back in 01 it was still managaebale and the roads didn't have the volume of traffic. I think that mite be a reason why I would leave this area.

I think it was medication @TAB and went through a bad time with alcohol and meds. Glad that time is over. 2012 all the drinking stopped. A medication I was taking caused cravings for alcohol, how weird. Stopped the medication and the cravings stopped. Hell of a time. Onwards and upwards now.
