rough time

Peace restored @outlander

Sanity slowly restoring. My mother is staying at a hotel in the city with her friend, then they are going to stay with her friend's family in a town just south of the city. So my mother will return to my house Saturday afternoon.

I've had an okish day. Another in depth conversation with my mental health nurse following on from the meeting with the pdoc a couple of days ago. A difficult but necessary conversation about my SI/SH. Cleared the air a bit and building better understanding between us.

How are you doing today?

I'm sure you're feeling a whole mixed bag of emotions @outlander

I hope whatever happens, it leads to a clearer picture of what is happening with your health.

Handling my mother even in small doses is exhausting at the task she is easily overwhelmed by small things.

Jasper is hunting the little flying insect just now for the third night in a row.

Been having sleeping for the last week @outlander

I'm impressed you notice the times I'm awake. I'm physically exhausted and achy tonight as with previous nights, but I'm a bit wired as well. Tommorrow I have a volunteer pizza and games night. I have 20 people booked to come, which is pretty incredible. Whether that many turn up is another thing. And it's a long weekend here, so for once I'm very busy.

I'm learning to bake a sponge cake 🎂 on Saturday morning. My foster sister is back in the city so I'll see them for lunch. Sunday is a walk and breakfast with a nursing friend I've not seen in years. And my mother and I are going to a farewell afternoon tea for my neice who's moving interstate. We're quite close, so I'll miss her.

And Monday I'm taking a road trip with a new friend to see some wild flowers.
