I am alright, tho I also had hip issues this morning.

Watching a movie about an artist who had arthritis.

Happy Sunday, @Shaz51. Sorry to hear about your hip problem 😒. I had my second booster and flu injection yesterday so I'm pleased to have that out of the way, have just been hunting down my printer ink as it's becoming hard to come by, I'm bogged down in studies, really bogged down–but the sun is shining brightly here. I hope you're doing fine and getting your share of good times. Take care, my friend. Sending best wishes.😊

Yesterday I went to an outing ... for pleasure.

I was such an ambivalent ball of knots, about allowing myself to enjoy ... I acted like a teenager and did not get dressed until after my support worker arrived.  Then like a good girl I threw on some clothes and we went out.

It was lovely, but I was also painfully aware of all my anxiety and fearfulness of rejection.  Cannot cope with anymore.  So aware of my personal needs as opposed to putting on a show and getting the job done.

The really good thing was that my sw was lovely and gentle and gorgeous.

Pleased for you @Appleblossom …. 🌸💞

Go YOU @Appleblossom, a huge hurdle and YOU did it!!!

Super happy you have what sounds like a wonderful sw in your corner.

Keep smiling gorgeous Apple 🍏

Thanks @Anastasia @Faith-and-Hope 

I read today something about getting our head to where our heart is.  I think it is really relevant to me, as my head and heart were almost on different planets.  It has taken me almost 40 years of conscious adult work to come to terms with my experiences with any sense of rational understanding of social context.  I can see why and how my intellectual side may have seemed so disconnected from the vulnerable child and vulnerable woman.

Glad to have known you both.  Hope things are going reasonably. I know you both have a lot on.

💖 @Appleblossom ….. listening Hon ……

Going reasonably well in some directions.  The rest is still pretty much 🌵, but I just have to keep it contained until it eventually gets dealt with.  It’s draining though, like walking through waist-high water all day.  That’s what I have got for the moment.  Giving most of my attention to my studies, but they don’t gift the qualifications, so it is hard work, lol.  At least it is engaging and fun hard work.  Gotta get more sleep tho.

I bet its hard work and you put your all into it. 

Enjoy the distraction, the work, and in the end, the quals.

Sorry about the other ...

Still having an artistic practise is a really beautiful way to live.

It can carry you, through the half drowning times.

In the end you will benefit from the clarity and make sure you get sufficient to manage life.

For me it was 20 years ago, and it really does take a while to get over. You will get through it. I know you will do it your way and in style.  Still hope one day we bump into each other ...lol
