I saw my psychologist earlier today, and it was a reasonable session. As you know @outlander something bothered me about the support group I went to yesterday, and I got the chance to discuss with her. I feel better about it now. And we discussed creating a balanced life, and how/what that might involve or look like.
Some people came to collect things I've had for sale. The big display cabinet I thought might be a problem to sell was snapped up within 10mins of placing it online. It's amazing how much space there is and how empty my lounge room looks. And my hall runner is gone to. The cats loved to run up and down on that; I'm sure they'll miss it. Mr A went 'missing' for a very long time this morning. I thought perhaps he escaped outside. Then I saw him come out of the spare room very sheepishly. He thought he was in a lot of trouble. I'm just glad I didn't have to walk the block to try to find him.
This afternoon I went to Spotlight to purchase some curtain rods and brackets. My foster sister & her husband are driving to the city in the morning to visit the grandchildren, but they'll help me put up the curtains first in the unit.
It's nice to see you here @Snowie

Re: rough time
its really great to hear your day was good @Snowie I hope that reduction in your meds will help with those side effects. It sounds like an easy going day today too. Its been hot here too and expecting some more hot weather this week. Hows Izzy going?
@Sans911 im really glad your feeling better about what was bothering you at the support group and the session sounds like a helpful one too.
oh wow thats great, i love when things sell quickly! oh cheeky Mr A, so glad he was in the house and he found you before you had to go searching the block.
i bet its good seeing your new unit slowly coming together too and the added privacy of curtains would be even better.

Re: rough time
Hopefully you find somewhere that sell them @outlander. It would help support your foot and help you to walk better.
I am actually going into hospital tomorrow. Have to have a small operation so will be in there for a few days at this stage. It is straight forward so should all go ok.
@Sans911I bet you are over packing already The coffee group does sound nice however

Re: rough time
DEFINITELY OVER PACKING! @outlander. Definitely! My house looks like a jumbled mess, getting up in the morning is a pain (literally) and it never seems to end!
I really wanted to stay in this house up to five years or longer, so I can't see me moving for quite some time, maybe never.
My two cats are quite cute right now. They're lying 90degrees to each other with their tales crossed.
I don't know if you answered already @Snowie how is Izzy doing?

Re: rough time
Izzy is adorable like always @Sans911@outlander
She hasn't been overly cuddly today but I think that has something to do with the heat. She seems to be sleeping under the cooling vents the last couple of days!! Can't say I blame her, I would too.
