My Mosaic

Hey @Bow

Hope today has been going ok for you 💗

Hi @Snowie

@today has been ok. Started with a reply from the SWmanager. She said their ‘promise is to make a difference by putting well being at the heart of what they do’ she will provide a response within 21 days. Told me I could access advocacy support and provided me with details of external bodies should I wish to send my complaint further.
urgh. Now to wait.

did groceries. Got meds. Went on the treadmill. And then spent about 5hrs in the cave doing my puzzle. 😳 at about 4pm I started to feel guilty about doing nothing all afternoon. But oh well. I also had some fresh tasty strawberries. 25c a punnet!

how was your day?

Hey @Bow

Glad you got a reply from the SW manager. Hopefully you do get a response from them.

I don't think you need to feel guilty hon. You did what was best for you and gave yourself some self care. Nothing wrong with that.

My day, won't go there.

Oh I’m sorry hon @Snowie 😞

here if you wanna chat

hugs

Thanks @Bow

I just don't think I should talk on here.

Have you got much on for the rest of the week?

Understand @Snowie

Not too much this week. Psychologist and case manager Thursday morning. My brother also has his appointment with his oncologist on Thursday. That will kinda determine when we make the trip down to tassie. Whether it’s a quick dash, or whether we have time to plan. I think my SW will also try and do a home visit. She goes on a weeks leave as of Friday I think- her daughter goes into hospital every 3 mths for an infusion for her chronic pain. Oh and we have a house inspection next week… so need to tidy up and stuff…. Joy

what about you?

Sorry @Bow just had to feed everyone and clean up!

Glad you've got your psych this week hon. Hopefully they might be able to help at least a little. I know they don't mind you writing things down so might be good if you can't say it outloud.

I hope your brothers appt. goes ok and you have time to plan your trip. Would you take D with you or would she stay with her Dad?

Nothing on for the rest of the week as yet.

Oh what was for tea tonight @Snowie?

yeah I feel like I have so much to talk about… and I can write stuff down. I just hope that I don’t shut down.

yeah D will come. School holidays aren’t for a while, so she’ll probably have to miss some school.

Just spaghetti @Bow quick and easy

Even if you shut down you can still give them what you wrote down. Hopefully thats not the case.

I think missing school is nothing compared to her seeing her uncle hon. Family is more important. I think the school would understand.

Absolutely @Snowie i have no issue taking her out of school. Apart from precious time with family, I think travel is so valuable. Our first trip to the UK was during the school term, and I had to fill in this multiple page document to seek ‘approval’ to take her out of school. I initially thought can they actually stop us from going??? Approval was obviously given. But it was such a good thing for her. She gained so much confidence. Like she would hardly say a word to people, even friends we’ve known for ages. People noticed the difference when we got back. Not sure if this school will be the same with needing to fill out the paperwork.

I think I will at least write down in point form all the things that have happened and want to talk about.

I love spaghetti bolognese… but D won’t eat the bolognese… fussy pants and mum won’t … or can’t/ shouldn’t cause of her Crohn’s disease. So we don’t really eat it 😞

cause we didn’t do the groceries yesterday, I didn’t have any ham for D’s lunch today. Her options were fairy bread, vegemite sandwich or cheese sandwich. She didn’t want any of them… melt down. I dug out a thermos and asked if she would have noodles. She was very keen for that. I asked her this arvo how they were…. Apparently she could taste the stainless steel from the thermos 🤷🏼‍♀️😳 and asked next time if I could put the cardboard cup inside the thermos 😳😩 at least I got her the right tomato sauce and green cordial from Aldi today!! 😂
