Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks @TAB. I have been putting off so many admin tasks lately so I'm feeling your pain but at least there will be some gain $$$$ at the end. I think most of mine will amount to $$$ going out rather than coming in😏 It's good your medical isn't too heavy. Crossing fingers for you that it all works out. 💜😊

Re: Sleeping too much
@Former-Member. So sorry to hear about your dads stroke. Hopefully the tests will reveal something easy to fix. I just take a single tablet once a day to shrink my blood clots in my legs. Praying it's as simple like tgat for your dad. Sending ♥♥♥♥
Hiw do you find the Mindfulness classes? Have you found it easy to get into? I do simple mindfulness from an ap on my ph. Very simple.
Last night when I went to bed I did my breathing relaxation exercise & then I b just started chanting in my head;
I am safe
I am loved
I am beautiful
I am strong
Just popped into my head. Think I spent a good 20 minutes chanting this is my head. Was so relaxed and calm. And I slept so well.
Cooking chicken schnitzel and vegies for dinner tonight. What are your plans?

Re: Sleeping too much
@Former-Member, hi, sounds like ya doing OK today 🙂
I',m just resting the back after cutting plasterboard & lino to size to get this s ba hroom done. Heavy work. Used @TAB s idea using newspaper as templates for tricky bits which worked like a dream (thanks Tab). Just love that feeling when something you've cut to size just drops into place, arr!

Re: Sleeping too much
@Former-Member That made me smile about you making your Lino all work out. Great job. You are really setting the bar high on here. Might have to move my backside to keep up with you😜 You deserve a rest now. Hoping your back feels your joy at achieving and doesn't hurt too much tomorrow 💜😊

Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks @utopia. I think dad was really lucky. Hopefully there is no damage done but we won't know until he has had tests done. Mum has known it's been coming for a while as he wont slow down even though his body is giving him hints.
I really struggle with mindfulness that is still. I can do breathing when really anxious a bit but if just in general I get lost in my thoughts too much. I love these classes because it is trying 4 or 5 activities each week using all the senses. I'm getting to see what works well and what doesn't. And I like that I'm held captive to try for an hour a week. I'm not so good at doing these kind of things by myself. I'm really glad it's having such a positive outcome for you, it's fabulous😄
Hmm tea tonight I'm not sure of yet but considering trying zucchini fritters.
how was your day?

Re: Sleeping too much
Most definitely a Summer girl! 💙🐳🐋🐚🐙🐟🐬@Faith-and-Hope
Although I find some days long in Summer when I'm anxious, sort of have to be careful in headset.
However I love the beach. It's my escape. The further away from people the better! 😜
Not good the melanoma. 😞

Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks @Faith-and-Hope
I am totally convinced I have a variety of personalities - I can be most of those on the list
To survive my life I have had to be aggressive but this is no longer necessary
I had my feelings from my mother - I swore to myself I would never let her know how I felt - and repressed so much
This must have an effect on our personality - it might be confusing - but repression is there - we just don't know it

Re: Sleeping too much
@Former-Member. Your Mindfulness class sounds great. Are you focusing on your senses? Did a class in hospital where we chose a rock or gemstone from a table. We just kept looking at it throughout the session. I swear my rather plain (initially) rock was glowing by the end of the session. Weird I know.
Didn't do much today.
Tomorrow I'm selling raffle tickets for 1 & 1/2 hours in the morning and 2 hours late afternoon. It's to raise money to reduce the school band camp fees this year. Obviously I'm not the only parent struggling financially this year.
In between that I have my session with my psychologist. I'm looking forward to that. Must remember to bring my homework book with me. I keep forgetting to bring it to my sessions. It's also part journal. So it's important to take it to my sessions.
Trying to get all my bills and tax and work cover etc papers together to see if I can claim some of my superannuation under financial hardship. So will be making a lot of calls and emails tomorrow as well. I'm tired thinking about it.
Re: your dad. It's hard for some people to slow down and make changes to their lifestyle. Hopefully this may have just scared him enough, that he will start looking after himself a little better.
You must live somewhere warm to have zucchinis. Too cold where I live to even plant them yet. Can't wait for the soil to warm up. Have plans and seeds ready and waiting.
Grow old heirloom varieties. My watermelon and Cantaloupe/Rockmelon and Cucumbers are delicious. Don't grow my corn anymore - uses too much water and we are dry in summer.
