Re: Sharing the wisdom within
Sounds like a good plan @eudemonism That is good self-care
My little Toby is spread out next to me so I won't be going far for a little while - wouldn't want to move him lol
I will clean up the kitchen soon then settle in for a quiet night.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within
Yea @Zoe7 I'm feeling a little bit erratic, a little moody, a little bit on edge and a little bit explosive... I'm not sure what causes it... depot running low, I'm wound up from the events of the day, I'm trying to process and deal with this situation I'm in... it's always focused toward other people, because of how they've treated me...
Sounds good @Zoe7 sounds very relaxing... what did you have for tea?

Re: Sharing the wisdom within
That friend helping you out today should restore a little faith in people around you @eudemonism - it was a nice gesture. There have been times that little things like that have helped me - especially when I am not feeling good.
I had steak and steamed veggies tonight. I don't eat a lot of red meat because it often aggravates my IBS so steak was more of a treat tonight. ...better for me than chocolate covered donuts but maybe not as yummy lol What are you having?

Re: Sharing the wisdom within
Porridge is quick and filling too @eudemonism I often have it for dinner when I have had a bigger or later lunch.
I think we all have things we are dealing with and we all deal with them differently Eude. You seem like a very caring friend and I am sure your friend appreciates you being there for him.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within
It is really tough to have a MI and have to deal with the expense to get help too @eudemonism ...as if having a MI isn't enough hey! Finding that balance is important - I am still trying to find that too but I do know I am a lot closer than I was even 6 months ago. Going back to work will be a big test and I know I have to keep concentrate on time for myself as well as the time I spend on work. I have never really done that - my whole week revolved around work and left little for me to even relax - I was always on the go or planning/marking/doiong schoolwork.

Re: Sharing the wisdom within
I've cut a couple of potatoes up and I'm doing some chips... @Zoe7
My brother and his partner, dropped their car off out front on my place, they were with their friend, their going to an opening of a photography exehibition, at the beer garden down the road.
Plus I'm one step closer toward getting the service on my car done (everything is ready to go)
Where you at with your evening?

Re: Sharing the wisdom within
I had taught for 15 years before I got sick. I taught Primary school - grades 3-5 mainly and Art. I loved classroom teaching but Art I could happily teach every day.
@eudemonism I think I have pretty much settled in for the night now - will have my meds shortly and wait to get sleepy. How are you going?
