Re: Trying makes it worse

Hey  @Oaktree    how are you today,    a wafer closer to sunshine I  hope...   That was Dr tonys..  Last

night,  called on you.    thinks he can fix everything...  Just don't pay the bill.  What do you expect.

He comes from toon town. This is just tonys paying a visit and dropping  in some mixed colour in a painted vase.    Will look in on you later tonight mate..         tonys.      😊 

 

Hey   @PerthSquirril    Welcome ..      I'm sure your bound to find friends here.  Its a big place once you start exploring.            Less its raining,   I call in late evenings and share a little banter.  For me It has been a fun place to relax a little.           very  best  wishes to you . . .    happy trails  ..   tonys.. 

Re: Trying makes it worse

Hi @Oaktree im so sorry that ur not feeling ok....h can be hard to juggle. How has ur weekend been?

 

Hey @tonys doing ok, had first ndis planning meeting but now judt waiting....

 

My dr was super annoying last week, but ive found a new support through a mental health org in the community. They are so caring and listen. i love their ehtos.

 

Mood up and down....not many visitors on the weekend. Well none really....hows it on the farm? 

Re: Trying makes it worse

Hi @EternalFlower 

 

Thanks for checking in. I am ok. I didn’t go to my canasta group this morning because I didn’t feel like seeing people but I did go to a baptism this afternoon. That was lovely. It was for an eight year old daughter of my friend. In our church children get baptised when they are eight. 

The NDIS can be super frustrating to get set up but it’s great once you get your funding and supports in place. I am super happy with my service providers at the moment.

 

I relate to the mood up and down comment.

 

Thinking of you.

Re: Trying makes it worse

  Hey there  @EternalFlower    First Ndis meet.. You little beauty.   Every bit of help is a bonus.  And your  making progress with a new   M H   group.  Meeting new people and networking is the best way to make forward progress and garnish support.  It can come from surprising places.  When you have a little win,    its a boost to the confidence.   

 

Ups and downs my friend.     Well  we all think about you up here.  There must be a solution to the daily 

visit situation.  Hope the Ndis takes your vulnerability into account  regards social supports.

 

Are you still cooking up storms.   Your my,    ideas resource.   I had a go at poached pears.   The chooks  prayer for a failure where answered.    I should leave the hard stuff to the bookkeeper 

but I like chemistry.

The Farms succumbed to a colourless silence as the sun skirts the top of the mountains and shadows win the day.  Winter has its purpose I know...   Its just that I'm at odds with it.

 

Have been working on the ute,  doing repairs around  the place,  Doddering ,   looking busy and achieving little.  By the time i get somewhere,   I've forgotten why I went there.    Bit of grease  here,

lick of paint there..  bend a few nails...   Comes  a time when jam coats of paint simply wont hold 

something together any more.  .  .  .  Time overtakes all things,   We  give up on make overs and just wear the face our lives  carved into us. . . .   Learning acceptance 

 

Well,   the pot belly stove has the right attitude.  Feed it heaps   and its sports a glowing warm

pink smile.    All  my little animals are blowing you a big kiss and we will have a collective dream

about better days to come  for us  all..

Have a lovely Sunday,  maybe a walk,  or a movie.   

@Oaktree ...   Mate  ,  I hope you are in a better space.  Its hard ducking clouds in winter.

A cloud used to be an obstacle  to my sun,  now its  cool mist on my face. .

Re: Trying makes it worse

Hey @Oaktree thanks so much. Hang in there...youre doing so well and glad u are connected to others!

Hey @tonys they seemed to understand some of the vulnerability...it was a bit awkward. But my case manager came with me ans said from her experience it seemed the person assigned for us was helpful. They deal with all kinds of struggles, not just mental health, so case manager said sometimes it can be a struggle to convey that what we live with is real. Like that we are asking for things that we need. But i found the woman warm. 

 

Yes the new mh service makes all the difference. Theres a whole team u can access, including after hours.

 

I like wintery days...but not nights....so i hear u...can get hard on the mood, and it cant be too warm where u are, please take care. I have one little oil heater that is so powerful...but i need one per room, really. 

 

Sorry about the poached pears!!! Newest recipe is sweet potatoes with a browned butter...yum. i baked the pears last night....im not cooking as much but am considering trying baking next.

 

I go through cook books and cook when i see something i feel like....i need to see how that works!! My parents didnt cook so its fun to have a new skill. I like the idea of baking bexause i could make packages for neighbours or friends...little 🎁💝

 

So sending u some cookies here, fresh from the oven

Re: Trying makes it worse

Jumping jack  rabbits.      Ive got sweet potatoes. . .!   I here by pledge to make the kitchen an even

bigger mess tomorrow than it already is..    

I  always start with a recipe,   then I start to think I know better. . .    Well even a stopped clock

gets it right now and then.        Why    can't  I.    

 

Then  I  learnt  .     Coat any failure in breadcrumbs,   fry it in deep butter . . .   and    I  can  fool  my 

way  to a victory.  

 

You   sound good @EternalFlower    I'm at peace with  my winters..   but the north flying birds

 

still  stir  some  instinct to join them..       Sleep  well   my friend..    tonys    mb 1
