Re: Sleeping too much
You poor blighter! You done good though. Yep. Tomorrow will be a breeze comparatively. Layer up clothing wise.
My heating has carked it but it's a damned sight warmer than when I lived in the tent. Layers work well. You can strip clothing off but you can't put more on if you don't have any with you on the job!

Re: Sleeping too much
@TAB. So pleased for you. I plan to work a day or two initially & then as I feel more confident - then I hope to increase my hours. Thats the plan anyway.
So 2 days work is a gentle introduction back into the workforce.
Look after your cold. And go to an op shop and get another blanket or two. Very cold and wet days and nights ahead for us in country Victoria.

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi all,
@TAB, proud of you, eat heathy, self care, the first 3 wks the hardest.
@Appleblossom, RUOK? when's this trip? Be gentle with yourself.
@Faith-and-Hope, are you nearly over the cold? House back to normal? Don't chat much these days, sorry if I've said a wrong anywhere
@Former-Member, RUOK? Ya quiet.
Hi everyone else. Anyone go away with the kids for school hold?
I saw my Psych yesterday. I told hwr aboit the Bro toxic text msgs and she gave me a hard time about adding to my own suffering by letting it upset me, thoughts & feelings about it & focusing in on detail Grr, Kind of irritated me but have to trust she knows what shes doing. Not sure were on the same page. The good news she's fi ally recognised for her masters & her Medicare Rebates are higher which means I'lll have no gap to pay. Yay! Anyway, got a fair bit of homework this time so maybe we'll get somewhere.

Re: Sleeping too much
My poor brothers are not good.
Rang B4 because mum said he's hobbling around with walking stick re Back pain. He said the Dr refuses to order a CT scan telling him to take anti-iflammatories & mod analgesia. This worries me because he has numbness & tingling. O try give strategies, what to say to Dr but he harps on with conspiracy theories, "everyones brainwashed to silence & destroy him & brainwashed the doctors & all us family. Said 2 people broke into house & beat him with baseball bat but he refuses to tell police. I'm going crazy trying to pick out what's real so I can suggest things. Its just awful, and they're suffering.
B3 - something triggered a MH visit with B3 which didn't go well & he's in hiding as they threatened to come back with police because he's not cooperating. They finally twigged he's not taking his medication for >12 months. On the other hand, I don't necessarily agree with carting him off, he's not a threat to self or others. So what if foil is covering windows again? I have notixed that When he's on his meds the paranoid delusions don't go away - they just worry him less. He still harps on about it, just less emotional. So really, what's the

Re: Sleeping too much
sorry, small buttons
Anyway, talking with my brothers really makes me upset. Feel so helpless and sad and angry and sad. Fight Flight kicks in with nowhere to target energy. With mums games & terminal cancer & dads mind going & the other 3 siblings there not talking its just so hard. I love them & find pulling back emotionally very hard. But trying. Maybe now I've talked to them today I can put them out of my kind & heart for the next week or two, somehow. Here's to trying lol.
Had 2 1/2 days work this week. 4hrs is all my back can rake. The elderly impress me the way they rise above the body failing them and friends and family popping off around them. I don't wanna get old, not with the lack of support life has handed me. These clients I help have more resources than I do (but can't let on of cause)
Got 6 more BBricks to add to my back steps. Its almost the full 3' width now. No Kore risk of falling. Just have to glue them together. Not good for thorasic spine lifting them. I do it very slow & use a trolley.
Priced all my kids boardgames for the garage sale today - made me sad but I got through it. Do you think $5 is too cheep - they're still in good condition (scrabble, trivial persuit, pictionary etc)
Got a parcel gift from mother today, she always does that after upsetting me. Good old cycle of abuse drama saga. What to do?
I need a cuppa.

Re: Sleeping too much
Hi @Former-Member .... 😘
Been missing you too Hon .... not avoiding at all .... just answering tags mostly in between putting the house back together and working in wedding stuff .... have had broken sleep the last couple of days - bit better last night - bit still have had iPad-face moments .... 😏
You beat me by minutes I think .... had two more emails to see to, then was thinking about what I could post on Quotes tonight .... and catch up with you there .... 💜💕
Did you like the smiley coffee yesterday on Hot Choc ?
Sorry to hear about your brothers .... it's tough ..... I love my brother but he's too much for my household .... couldn't sink our boat to try to rescue him .... but he managed ... and is married again now .... sister is "in small doses only" too .... but it's not schizophrenia. Hugs n hugs .... ❣
Glad you won't be paying the gap .... 💜🌷

Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks @Kurra 
going to chemist tonite re cold, dust at work really stepped it up a few notches. yeah, haven't been running heat at night cos it doesn't really work and can't afford it, but did tonite, does make a difference. Saw lots new faces and some old ones from old work(6mths ago when last here) on site, not too much love there, either way ..maybe I was right not to front up at office.. dunno ,, will have to put self #1 for a change .. and get more work even its couple days a month from a few different places
@Former-Member yes woke frozen yest morn after broken sleep. got a sleeping bag from kmart to add to lightweight quilts, but it keeps sliding off bed, so will be looking for a better solution tomorrow and getting off butt to get out of this place that's not insulated, crap aircon, wind blows through walls and cant open windows..well was only ever planning to stay here for a week, and that was god prob 6 weeks ago.. Thanks for your thoughts

Re: Sleeping too much
If you're not sure about $5 per game @Former-Member .... what about pricing them at $7 each ? That way you can drop them back to $5 if someone wants to negatiate the price on buying a few of them at once ....
💜
You asked on an earlier post when the wedding is on .... I had to think about how to answer .... until WH is diagnosed I need to try to keep a stronger anonymity over some of our dates so nobody in our area works out who I am ..... but you know what ? It's fallen on the same date as your yard sale .... 😊 ..... just want to mention it here quietly so you know .... but then I won't mention the actual day again ....
In all our busyness on the day, I will be thinking of you, and hope it goes really well ....
So proud of you and the ground you are covering. You're an inspiration Tawney ....
