I needed to wear scarves for my neck and in the end made it a personal style.

I like colour and finally finding it fun to dress up a bit for church.  I was away from church for a long time but slowly going back to a different one, that is closer to me, and not as blind to "issues".  I am a Senior so its taken a while!

Doctors and the medical system system seems to have become another authority like the church and government.  A lot of it we have to accept, but .... should not have to wear it all.

Gardening was not a thing I did when I was young. I started when I was 40.

Hi I love these, I'd go for the dove grey though, but work my way to the bolder colours!
The medical world isn't what I hoped. It seems ppl need more community than drs, imo. Spaces to be together.

Hi @TAB I think watching TV is my main hobby and it's sad that man was given a hard time because of it. I used to read but can't focus as well, not even movie much these days, so watching TV shows is a good hobby for me.

I have a phone call re my DSP application in a few weeks. I wander if that means I'm moving to the next step. 

I hope u are well. How is Ur new space?

I apologise I posted last night this message but used a word for watching TV that is triggering for some, so it didn't post. I changed the word and now it has posted.

Hi @maddison That's painful and hard, I hope u feel safe from her.

The thing with poisonous family members is they worm their way in.

Hope u had an okay week. How are u...I'm around this weekend if u want to chat

Have u got a new neighbour?

My nails have been really neglected lately, I think I need a new colour or something. During the pandemic I never had bare nails. Nailpolish addiction. People did weird things to cope during the lockdowns, and I spent 100s of dollars on polish!!

Hi @TAB did u get some walks in this week? 

I met my new cm and he's pretty nice. 

One major difference is I feel safe to talk alone with him. I used to keep the door open with previous cm, not that anyone would come and save me!

@Appleblossom how are u doing? I'm feeling OK tonight which is weird. I had a bad session with my therapist Dr last week and wanted to quit, but we "made up" this week. I feel like I've detached a bit from clinicians overall and want to feel like a person again, not just a consumer or sick person.

I hope u and family are OK? 

He told me has worked in private hospitals and said a lot of mums would go during school holidays for a break. That therr are certain times of year ppl tend to need help.

[EternalFlower]

Hi @TAB sounds good, no more rain, I hope? 

I'm feeling a bit anxious tonight, didn't have dinner really, skipping meals.

I am decluttering my home and have been giving away stuff.

I still have tonnes to go through.
