Night Shift

@Mazarita Good on you for getting your GP on board about ceasing with the psychologist. Glad to hear you still have other good support. You worked hard to reach your goal and are doing really well maintaining it.

Yes my ap't was surreal. I do have homework but not much. Just a mood and sleep chart that takes a minute at the end of the day. She said it would be good to do it until I'm more stable again, that I did the right thing deciding to start therapy again, and that she agrees about going back to the psychiatrist as well.

Hi @plasmo and @Kurra - just replied to you in the beer garden Kurra.

Hi @Appleblossom

It's a long and horrilble story how I came to be cut out of my family and I have very little info to go on what happened

Long story short - Dad and I were on good terms for many years - but we kept it to ourselves - the trouble goes deep but for no sensible reasons I have ever found out

I have my own life and live on my own terms - my sister is at the core of everything - and toxic - so I don't go there any more - but my door is open if she wants to be reasonable

Families - I do believe that we become who we are because or in spite of them - we do make our own choices along the way

@plasmo NITV channel on TV or Radio National often cover things. There's also the Koori Mail newspaper. It's mainstream media that doesn't report the good stuff.

Sleep time for me @plasmo. Nite nite.

It's amazing how a little idea can grow into a whole story @Faith-and-Hope

My castle is inside me - and I do have my own residence - and the part of my castle that is mine but not inside me has rules like - pay the bills, remember to ring a taxi earlier than I want to, somehow keep myself from getting stressed about things I have no control over

But this address is for me and the cat - and I have to laugh about the council rules about putting my cat outside when the workers come - I have only had one person complain about that - and it was raining so I was not putting my cat outside - this is her home too - after all

But along with the cat I have my hobbies and toys - and my books and I read and write a lot - my castle is a wonderful place

And when I go to bed at night - I have the cat and her conversation can go on for a while - I repeat her meows and chirrups and yips - and I love this - but if I stop before she is finished she smacks me

But then she snuggles up to sleep and I read for a while and when I am ready I turn off the light and take myself into my world of dreams - where a mythical wizard lives in a strange world of adventures - and I can never write his stories because I go to sleep

So I have layers in my castle - it's a magical place on it's own

And - I do believe it's time go to bed now and hopefully I can sleep without being disturbed

Night all

I love hearing about your cat @Decadian ❣

I am a real cat person, and had cats growing up, but my husband is not a cat person, and we travel a lot, and we have a big German Shepherd that might be hazardous to a cat ......

Although ........ the German Shepherd lives outside .......... and D3 had the idea a while ago ...... that while WH is spending as much time as he is off and away ........ maybe we could have a secret cat now ...... one that lives her when WH is not at home, then gets boarded in a kennels fir the time that he is .......

Tempting !! Very tempting !!!!
