Re: rough time
I forget how big our time gaps are sometimes @Sans911 its only near 9pm for you isnt it?
Ill be sitting with you tomorrow. I know itll be nerve wracking and tough no matter the outcome. Do you have alot of other things you need to do tomorrow?

Re: rough time
Just after 9pm now lil Sis @outlander. I've not been sleeping until after 1 in the morning for the last week or so. I need to get to bed earlier tonight.
I have my new support worker tommorow. I don't really want to see him but my NDIS plan has been in place almost 6weeks. If 8 don't start with him soon, it could impact the funding I get next year. They might think I don't need a support worker. I believe we are supposed to meal planning & shopping.
And depending on the outcome tommorow plus it's been hot and humid will determine if I do my volunteer walk or not.

Re: rough time
Hopefully you can get to bed earlier tonight @Sans911💜 Ive only been sleeping 3 or 4 hrs a night lately too.
Do you not get along with the new support worker? Or is it more that you just dont feel up for it? Can you do something else with the SW if you dont want to do shopping and meal planning?
Hot and humid weather isnt very nice. Hopefully youll get some cooler weather in the coming days. The heat wouldnt be making sleep to comfortable either.

Re: rough time
It's because of Jasper is the only reason I don't want to see him @outlander. I met him a week ago and he seems OK. The cats like him which is a good barometer. They normally go scuttling under the bed with strangers.
Meal planning and shopping will be OK, as it's distracting. I don't like doing it, but I know it's the right thing to do. I just find it quite boring, and I like shopping on my own terms and times. I either get in and out quickly or I take my time going down most aisles if I'm doing a bigger shop. My eating has been rubbish lately. The only meal I'm consistent with is breakfast. I know I need to do better but I really struggle with either motivation, lack of appetite or fatigue.
I'm just about to replace the bottom sheet on my bed, then I'm getting in it. I've done a huge amount of tidying up in the last couple of hours. There's still more but I've done enough for now. I'll likely be awake about another hour but I know it's past pumpkin 🎃 hour for you.

Re: rough time
Phew!! That last thing - replacing the bottom sheet was the hardest and hottest. I have the fan on, but it's not doing much.
I suspect you've drifted off to sleep lil Sis @outlander💜💜💜💜
