rough time

Yes I think a standard session is meant to be an hour, but they always end up at least an hour and a half. Today was her last apt for the day,. She is very generous with her time, always has been. When I did the blocks of ET she actually didnt charge me for some sessions. Id run out of medicare sessions of course. She said Medicare just do not cater for complex MH issues, and she is very right about that. Last year too, when I ran out of medicare sessions, she gave me heavily discounted rates. Which made it affordable for me. As she owns the psych practice, she can do that I guess. She has her psych business for sale now, which she told me about in December. So that is quite a distressing thought. But she says that she will continue to practice, but in a reduced role. She just doesnt enjoy the admin side of running the business. She also has youngish kids and a therapy dog breeding stud. So its a lifestyle and family priority decision for her. Not sure where she will practice from once she sells, but she said she would retain any of her long term clients like me. 😀

Yes it is difficult to find down time, as a carer. And since I didnt get home until 6.30pm, it was straight into dinner prep. But after dinner I watched some tennis and cricket.

Plans for tomorrow? I need to go grocery shopping. And normal household chores. Thankfully no medical apts for hubby tomorrow.

@outlander I love the cricket, in fact almost all sport really.

I have been watching IACGMOH. Its kinda silly, but a bit of fun. I like that they have a couple of ex pollies there this year in Lambie and Dastyari. Couple of former AFL players too. I like Luke this year though, and I hope he wins.

I used to crochet a lot, but havent now in years. Same as reading.

Hoping tomorrow is quiet. Have my step son, his wife and 4 of our grandkids visiting, so got some preparations to do. Grocery shopping is only the start. They live abt 6 hrs drive from here. Staying in a caravan park for 3 nights, then here one night. With young kids they wanted kids activities. Besides, there really isnt room here to comfortably accommodate 6 visitors. Too much for hubby too, as he remains very unwell, and little kids are so exhausting! But his son may make the half hour drive from the van park tomorrow or Sat to spend time with his Dad. He hasnt seen him since hes been so sick these past 15 months.

I will bid you good night now though. Thank you for your company. 😊 I hope you get some quality sleep. I know you've been triggered, so sleep will likely be difficult. Aim at least for some rest.
