Night Shift

Hi again @Former-Member, I welcome your observations and find them astute. Dinner was yummy and felt so good to get some solid food into me. I know what you mean about toast though, I've been eating a fair bit of that over the last week as well. When was the last time you had a solid meal?

Hi @Tyler77, such a frustrating situation with your meds. Was it for the 'trouble' med you were speaking about on another thread? Sounds like a good idea to find a new doctor, although I know in Australia most won't do prescriptions for meds without appointments. Anyway, hope your days until you get it are okay. Keep us posted on how you are going.

Hi @Former-Member, thanks for the good wishes. Feeling pepped up tonight from the psychiatrist appointment. I always find him intelligent, engaged and sensible in his approach. Over the past year of seeing him every four weeks, I've come to trust him more and more. It is really a relief that I can reduce a medication to help with my tiredness rather than increase another one. I do expect the reduction of anti-psychotic to help, but it remains to be seen how it actually pans out. Keeping fingers crossed. Hope you have a good sleep tonight and a good pottering day tomorrow.

Hi @comet, I forgot my spectacles at the voting booth too! Managed to bumble my way through the house of reps but when it got to the senate vote I really just couldn't see what I was doing so told the AEC woman behind me and she found me a sheet of magnifying plastic stuff. Meant I was able to put in a serious vote. Sorry you missed out this time around, and the last. But glad to hear you are feeling better today anyway.

Hi to everyone else I haven't tagged. Hope your Saturday night is going okay or better. I'm avoiding TV coverage of politics tonight and will just read the news tomorrow I think!

good night @BlueBay, hope you feel better tomorrow

i am still recovering from the flu

That is wonderful that your son is having a good time -- is he on holidays over there

Hi @Shaz51, good to see you. How is everything with you and hubby? Is he still doing his photography? Sorry you are still recovering from flu. Hope it passes quickly.

Hello @Mazarita

how are you today xx

No my hubby hasn`t done his photography for a long time , trying to find ways to get him interested in it again , he loves doing it

@Shaz51, is he too down and anxious to do it at the moment? Or is it more that winter is offputting? Maybe both. I'm better today than I have been the past week, thanks. Hope you are okay amidst what is happening with your husband. Sending hugs.

Hi @Shaz51 Its a bummer when flus hang around.

@Mazarita It is great your video is being screened. Maybe its some professional detachment since that you have been doing that kind of things for so long... maybe its the meds dulling your senses ... still it is great. Good about the psych being trustworthy and you are getting a good rapport with him.

I voted with my son and we walked the gauntlet of how to vote card givers. I kind of like going with him ... I become a little bit larrkin ... I kept saying to them "we want nuanced debate". Did the deed and came home to accompany my son and make sweet and sour for din din.

Then going through old emails. I do apologise if I have forgotten to respond to any posts.

How are you all? Anybody online?

that is good you are feeling a little bit better @Mazarita xx

He is anxious about his children and the Business , we have cut down on the amount of work lately , maybe then he might get back into it , I hope so

I cleaned out our spare bedroom and found one of his photos he took ages ago , hope that brings the spark back

Sorry @Appleblossom and @Mazarita xx

I am off to bed , I have aches and pains tonight

Hope you have a good night sleep , take care my friends

@Shaz51, glad to hear you have been able to cut down on the amount of work lately. Would probably help improve your husband's spirits if he could get back into his photography to some extent. He's fortunate to have you trying to help him in that way. Nightie night, sleep well and hope you are feeling better in the morning.

Hi @Appleblossom, I do feel a bit more tonight about the vid screening than I did this morning (these things go up and down with my moods really). There is also an aspect of 'professional distance' in a way because, as you suggested, I have had work screened at a lot of festivals in the past. But this is a new burst of things happening that way after about a decade without much occurring on that front. Also doing a kind of phone interview on Monday about a short I made back in the '90s that someone has programmed in a retrospective later in the year. So, yes, good things happening, just need to connect a bit more with the joy of it. Funny what you were saying about being a larrikin at the polling booth. Partner does that kind of thing too, but in a more nonsense kind of way. An example: his FB post for the day was, 'I voted for a party today, so let's party!'

lol @Mazarita My son covered his ears, closed his eyes and made nonsense words at them ... lucky he didnt trip over. lol

When he stopped going to school in year 7 he started watching parliament so I have had a lot of political discussions with him over the years ... at least that is not an area we have arguments in. its just boring do your room pick up your stuff .. helpf with food and shopping ... ra ra ra ... but he is trying and being a lot more approachable with me ... I am more important in his life than the how to vote people ... mostly he is well mannered when he is out.

I am modelling how to have a bit of fun ... when you cant get out of something ... serious parenting strategy!
