@Glisten howdy my dear tomato, how are you travelling? I think you are pretty amazing by the way, coping with ADHD and PTSD and maintaining a positive outlook 🤗
I'm doing okay, D carried on at work with her rude and confrontational attitude but I ignored her and did what I wanted despite her telling me not to.
My shoulder has been hurting so I'll be booking in to see my vet (doctor!) for some corticosteroid shots. I usually have them once or twice a year but since I was out of work for 9 months I didn't need to.
I bought a ticket in tonight's lotto, if I win the 40 million I'm buying you a house with sauna!
Look after yourself, will chat with you again soon. 💜 Radish

Howdy @ENKELI my dear radish. Any day above ground is a good day. Tomorrow is an opportunity to have another go at life.
I love your D attitude change‼️ You changing your mindset is an encouraging reminder to me.
When you win Lotto you can purchase a new home with a sauna, shoulder reconstruction and a new smile.
Chat to you soon

@Glisten La Tomate, I love it!
I'm off today with back pain so am catching up on posts. The pain has reduced somewhat after time with the TENS and gentle exercise that my physio recommended.
It's a great day to be indoors, or in your case in the spa!
K, who I am closest with at work has told me they are considering finding another job. We have another team member (not D) who has the worst mood swings ever - one day we'll be laughing and joking, the next he will ignore me. I mention that he is a "he" because honestly I have never met a man with such serious mood swings before and I am still surprised. Because of his treatment of K they are looking for another job and if they do leave I am considering doing the same thing. I don't know that I could deal with the walking mood swing and D without K being a buffer. I've been looking on Seek even though I was not serious, I think it was @Ru-bee who suggested doing it (good suggestion too!) so I have an idea of what is available. My only concern is my looks, I am missing several teeth which makes me so self-conscious and I always wonder what people must think.
If I could get a job working from home that would be perfect for me! Lol, I think everyone wishes they could work from home don't they?!
Anyway, enjoy the rest of your day, hope you are feeling well today. Thanks for your positive attitude, you always make me smile with your words of wisdom.
And here's a pic of my family 😁

@ENKELI My dear Radish.😇
You make me laugh so hard, my cheeks get sore 😆
🙌🏼 💚 Beautiful family photo of the Radishes 😂
Get your teeth done❣️
It has got be incredibly uncomfortable.
30 years ago I had my wisdom teeth and premolars extracted. Then braces for 3 years. Cost me a total of $4,000
I have never regretted doing it.
Orthodontics has come a long way since then.
Whether you pay in monthly instalments, or tap into your superannuation, it is obvious that you need to address the issue of your teeth.
You are correct people do judge you by your appearance. There is no denying it.
It is called the Halo Effect and it is a real thing.
Get your teeth done because YOU deserve to SMILE.
You have so much JOY in you, my dear radish.
Yours in salad 🥗

@Glisten La Tomate - this shall be your name forever more 😁
I am going to access my super to get my teeth done, I just need to get over my irrational fear of the dentist.
Hope your evening is passing pleasantly 💐💜
Speaking of Salad Days, it's amazing what you can find when you play on Google!

@ENKELI there are dentists and orthodontists that specialise in fearful and needle phobia clients.
C’mon my little Radish do it‼️
You’re a synchronicity magnet 🧲
I love the Salad Days song but I don’t subscribe to it. Because everyday is a new opportunity to make salad 🥗

@TAB @Glisten @ENKELI @Ru-bee @SmilingGecko @Shaz51 @Appleblossom @Tilz @Adge @Captain24 @StuF @I just want to let you know my anxiety is over the top
Might not be around for a week or so.
After all these years I'm learning how to care completely properly for me. When it comes to my ex husband.
Iv been writing to sane to get a touch of normality in caring for him while I'm in another relationship with Mr silly Mr Rocker --
It's so weird because whilst getting my ex-husband in hospital -- his parents don't want to know me. It's been tough because his issues wrap themselves inside my head and I'm always thinking about it.
But today I am caring for me whilst he's screaming over the phone ---- scammers line up to steal his pension ....
So it began when I'm writing and I get this message -
And something inside me clicked. Oh it's me I need to care for.
So Mr Rocker and I went to Freo to feed his cat 😺 and guess what ?
My son, my youngest son rang. Throughout sine quick calls we are meeting for coffee next Friday and he said
'Love you Mum. '
Thank you to all xx

@PeppyPatti Things I have learned:
Peoples reactions are about them, not about me.
Do things without expecting reciprocation and you won’t be disappointed.
I can only control what I do.
