Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Well hello to anyone who's discovered this new thread .... and welcome!!!

For some time I've noticed things are a bit quiet on a Saturday, especially in the evening. So this will be a social gathering for all forumites and hopefully a place to relax and meet friends. It's also a place where you can talk about whatever's going on for you at the moment, safely, and find support.

If you want to bring something to eat or drink that would be welcome, whatever makes you happy.

Actually that may be a good place to start - jump in anywhere and let us know one thing that makes you happy - currently or over time.

Really looking forward to finding a posse to hang with on a Saturday.

L E T ' S P A R T Y !!!

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Hey @eth! Thank you for tagging me here every Saturday. It is really nice of you. Hope everything is going smoothly for you today.

Gosh @Ant7 that is such a gorgeous photo! I wouldn't mind having to work with that as the backdrop.

So tried a different sleep routine with my little man yesterday and it seemed to have done what I wanted, which was for him to have a nice long stretch of sleep. Trying the same routine today to see if the outcome is the same tonight.

Also been trying to go for a walk everyday with him. It is pretty difficult now with having to wear a mask while walking. Im extremely unfit atm due to my mh. Will have to see how i go but finding it very challenging

@Blep hi and thanks I hope you're day is going well 😊

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Hey @Adge I really hope things pick up for you soon and that you get good results from your MRI and good advice from your neurologist. The last thing you need is more health challenges at the moment. Looking forward to seeing your picture posts again. Sending warm wishes.

Hi @Bunniekins always good to hear from you. I'm doing ok now after catching up on a lot of stuff the last couple of days, and being proactive about changing some things that might help me not regress too much. As of Monday I could even be bike riding a couple of times a week if things go to plan. Am going to increase my support hours and do more face to face with support workers after 4 months of mostly just telephone support for 2 hours a week. Even went to the beach with one in her car yesterday. Will see how I go getting out more. Probably going to have 2 hrs 4 x a week. Plus the new psychologist feels like a good match, listens to me well and asks good questions.

How are things going for you?

@Blep hope the change of routine with your little man works out well for both of you. That you are able to get some quality sleep as a result. It will make so much difference to how you feel I'm sure.

@Ant7 hope your work day was a good one.

I just watched a feel good romance movie on tv - rare for me. I usually watch nearly all crime shows. Also watched In My Blood it Runs last night which is a great doco providing real insight into the life of a young aboriginal boy from Alice Springs. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in aboriginal issues and social justice.

It's been a cold day here and the rain has arrived - forecast for at least a few days. Hope it doesn't stop us from bike riding on Monday. Having x-ray and ultrasound scans for my dodgy foot on Monday too. Hoping it doesn't show anything too serious.

Will be here for a bit if anyone wants to chat.
