i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

Morning @Former-Member 😊
I've got a run-around day today, of errands and last catch-ups ..... and going to see the psychologist to do a top-up of where I'm at with WH and the family.
Hot for us here today .... 22 deg at 6:30am .... headed for 33deg.
Ugh ... I melt in this weather ... not sorry to be skipping out on an Aussie Summer (gets boo'd down by all the beach bunnies .... 😆 lol)
Hope y'all have a reasonable day, and catch you at the other end of it.
🌷💜

How did you go with your appointment @Faith-and-Hope? Lucky you, escaping the Aussie summer. I'll hide in your suitcase. 
Here the summer seems never ending, even the nights are very hot and humid, oh well. Did you end up having 33C today?
How was your day @Former-Member? I hope the night shift goes well for you @TAB
Well, I give up on my psychologist. I've had 8 visits with her and we go over the same things every week. I don't feel that she is helping me at all. I end up so frustrated, because we aren't getting anywhere. It's so stressful getting there, driving home etc., busy traffic, finding a park. I don't see the point in going anymore. She forgets what we have talked about, even though it's all written down and just talks about the same things. 
I will just continue working on my self with mindfulness, exercise, eating healthy etc. I'll get there in the end. At least I did learn that mindfulness is very important. I really need to get the negative thoughts in control, about how I feel, how hard everything is for me, etc.
I actually feel relieved that I have decided that I'm not going to see the psychologist anymore. Today was my last try with her, SO FRUSTRATING. Couldn't believe that we wasted another hour, plus an hour and a half driving there and back. No more, yey!
Hi @Kurra I notice you there. How's your day going?
Hi to anyone else who is around. How is everyone?
