Exo's Exposé

Exo's Exposé

Looking for somewhere to hide in the Forum, no offense to anyone, I'm just kinda used to my own space - it feels safer to me. I often feel like I'm 'butting in' on other threads, I want to say something but it isn't 'in-line' with the current flow of conversation.

It rained here yesterday, dogs & cats weren't falling from the sky, but the grounds wet, there's puddles in my driveway & it's soooooooo sooooooo much cooler 😄 Guru Google even promises more!! After this weird wet stuff stopped dropping from above, I took the dogs for their walk, I do this almost every afternoon, but after a storm with close lightning strikes, my main purpose is to check the fence is still upright everywhere. I'm happy to announce it was all in tip-top shape 🙂 I noticed new puddle spots all the way around, I was sad that some trees had to be pushed over for the fence line, but the dip of their absence looks quite beautiful with a drop of moisture shimmering within. When I had completed the usual circuit I by-passed returning into the house-yard & wandered through to the dam. I think I may have been a little rain-drunk, I was hoping to see water in it, there wasn't any. I even went & stood in the very center of it's base, I think I was expecting to sink in mud - I didn't; but the cracks are gone . . . & they were huge. So if the Guru comes through with it's promise, there may yet be a puddle for my Staffy to play in 😉

I've decided to leave my camping trip to the beach for another week, rain wouldn't stop me - it rarely rains 24 hrs a day, but storms have - they often have devastingly strong winds that can break off & pick up reasonably heavy objects, that become dangerous ammunition. I've been emailing with the owners of this place, I'll still be in the off-peak season if I leave it another week - though I worry being so close to the Easter holiday, there's a more likely chance of more people. I keep telling myself I've just got to 'get over' that, that that would be all part of the experience - but I know I'm lying to myself. I picked this spot mainly because of the dog-friendly off-lead beach, but also because on the satelite view of Google maps I could see that there's no towns around it. It's one of the most isolated camping parks I've seen {that's within 5 hours of home, well - maybe just a little more}. It also admits it has old amenities, I saw negitive feedback about the place for those reasons - I think if you want to go to a resort . . . that's where you go - not to a place that describes itself as a rustic, old fashioned bush camping park 😉

Missing you Mazy Loads of love & support @Mazarita

Oh my magical Mazy @Mazarita

That is so sweet Thank you & although I don't know you in person, which makes it safer for me to tell you - I love you more than there are atoms in the Universe

My thought & emotional process is just a little tired, I'm fine, but my fingers are having trouble hitting the right keys - which is annoying 😉

I've booked my next holiday, it'll be in June 🙂 gives me a bit of time to pay in off 😉

Hope everything's going well for you

Loads of love to you

Loving you across the distance as well, @Exoplanet, my friend.

I love the way the atoms of the universe come together in you.

Understand finding it hard to write, for whatever reason. I am not as co-ordinated on the computer as I once was. Frustrating but I reckon it's probably a good thing, getting me to slow down, letting the drive soften. Relaxing.

Went for a walk today in the wetland with C. Wonderful. A black cormorant had its big wings open on the bank over the lily pond, almost a little lake that is. Swamp hens, ducks and their babies, a little parade of a duck family getting out of the water. The cars stop for the ducks around those suburban streets. It's truly a special little valley.

Good morning, @Exoplanet. Just leaving these NASA pictures of exoplanets here, artists views and from telescopes.

You've been leaving me such beautiful pics @Mazarita Thank you!

We've had a bit of rain here!!! It wasn't enough for the Staffy to swim in the dam, but it was wet 🙂

Lots of love to you

So good you had some rain, @Exoplanet. It's been raining here too.

Recovering from a severe headache since last night. Pretty doped up but in little pain now, a great relief.

I think it's fallout from the NDIS meeting on Wednesday. I had no sleep at all the night before and, aside from a 2 hour nap that arvy, couldn't sleep again until 2am the next night.

Good news is I was told I will have a plan next week and should be able to start support activities not too long after that.

Yay pictures! Sending you another now. one of my arty shots of the potted frangipani on the balcony here.

Lots of love to you, Mazzy 💚💛

Dear Mazy @Mazarita So sorry I hadn't seen the message, I haven't been looking on the site - I don't know why it's usually a part of my morning routine. I'm feeling fine, but I think my thought & emotional process was a bit off; I got in & did some things yesterday so maybe I'm coming out of
it? That headache sounded pretty horrible, I think being doped up was better I think your thought & emotional process was a bit off too, but I bet it's changed with the news of the NDIS plan 🙂 Love the frangipani leaf pic 😄

Hello beautiful @Sophia1

There's been enough rain for the Staffy to swim in the dam agian!!! Which he's doing every afternoon 🙂 I got in and chipped away some tree sapplings from outside the fence in the past couple of days, I don't do outside of it very often. The lawn is the next challenge 😉 It's starting to cool off a little at night, enough for me to pull up a blanket {yippee}.

Dear @Exoplanet

Getting in and doing some things is always a good sign. Happy you have started stepping out of being a bit off. I feel like I'm almost always a bit off.

My NDIS plan has come through. Best of all, I'm already going to be starting on Monday individualised yoga sessions to happen weekly with my old support worker, who now has her own one-person business specialising in this. She and I already consider each other friends from when she supported me in the past.

In few weeks we will have an extra few hours on another day each week, for the two of us to get out together each week to do something out in the world.

Increased physical fitness is my main focus for now, gentle and enjoyable exercise out of the home, such as walking in nature. I know this will help my physical and mental health a great deal.

Hugs and love,

Mazzy
