Do you grow anything @GezzaP ?  Having a subscription means you really like gardening, to me! Sounds like you made the most out of being awake! A baked dinner as well! That's impressive. Has the cat come back yet? What's it like and what's its name if you want to share that. I love animals! I used to volunteer with a no k*** animal shelter. 🙃

I grow all sorts of things @heartathome . Veggies, fruit, flowers, shrubs, cacti and succulents. I have a big garden. There are some big trees too including a couple of palm trees. I do like to garden can’t do too much now my back hurts too much. I have someone come in and do the garden and cleaning. He is cheap. He does all the hard work. I do the little jobs in the garden. 
I got lots done today, but wish I could have slept more.

Thank you. I have since come a long way since I shared this post. 

For me I realise I need a daily routine.

Less time to think.

And dwelling on the past.

As someone mentioned recently 

One cannot move forward

While keep looking back.

This is so true.

Though extremely hard fir some people.

I've also just recently completed the 10 week SANE support one on one.

I found this extremely beneficial. 

I'd highly recommended to others who might be finding it difficult to function daily.

I feel for you all.

Its extremely hard. 

No easy road.

Baby steps.

One day at a time.

I love to help friends neighbours & community 

Take care.

Im happy to chat to support anyone.

I also connect with Buddhism 

Kindness Makes For A Better World.

Love ❤️

So, you're a gardener and a cook! I have a little garden that I leave alone and a few pot plants. I hope you got some sleep last night! I have a cleaner atm, too. She only charges $25 an hour, which is amazing. I can't say she's great but does an okay job. I can't expect much for that amount. She's an older lady as well. She doesn't get down on the ground to do lower cupboards, etc. I've got her because I have no motivation for housework! 🙃

[GezzaP]

@heartathome I have trouble getting motivated to cook just for myself but I try. Some days are better than others. I only do light gardening these days and only a little bit. 
Wow your cleaner is super cheap! I hate housework. I dozed off this morning for an hour and a half so didn’t do gardening maybe tomorrow. See how I feel. My back hurts today. Reading gardening magazines instead. Got a headache.

Will have lunch soon. Then watch women’s AFL. Later I might go for another walk.

How are you?

@GezzaP 

I'm getting ready for an afternoon party that my friend is putting on. I don't really feel like going but will make myself go. I'm sure I'll enjoy it once I'm there. I hope so, anyway. I've just got to stay away from the 'party' area though, being a recovering addict. 😁 My cleaner is very cheap! She doesn't rush around like other cleaners I've had in the past or do as good a job, but I like her and know her from volunteering at Vinnies. 

I'm glad you got some sleep today. Did you sleep at all last night? Does anything help your back? I wonder if your headache is from a lack of sleep. I've experienced headaches in the past after not getting enough sleep for many months. I spent a large amount of money on things that could have helped get rid of them, but nothing worked until my psychiatrist picked it up and started me on a sleeper. I've been on it for years now. 

Take it easy, @GezzaP

My headache is caused by neck being out @heartathome . I slept for 4 hours last night and 1 1/2 hours this morning. Not sleeping stuffs up my back and neck. I take sleepers too. Normally sleep fine but hypomanic atm.

hopebyour party is ok.
