Very nice memory @avant-garde
The only thing I can do today is lend my youngest son money as he navigates being unemployed. He got a job ---- I hope he keeps it.
He e hasn't been paid yet but Im getting a lot of joy giving him money without the trauma my mother or step father used to give me. .....

Hi,
I've been lurking in the forums, posting here and there and thought that maybe I'd jump over here and say hi.
I'm 30+10 years old (40, but we won't go there). I am a teacher, and I'm currently studying a Cert in Child and Adolescent Mental Health. I've completed one unit and I struggled in ways that I can't remember ever struggling with my studies. I live by myself - no children, but I have a neice that I look after a couple of times a week and a dog called, Luna who I am very attached to and she is a bit of a velcro dog too.
I'm not very social. While I love spending time with my close friends and family, I tend to have trouble making friends.
I like to read and I listen to podcasts and audio books. I have three books on the go at the moment - A Court of Thorns and Roses (dramatic audio), Beyond Anxiety (Dr Martha Beck) and the Spellshop. I LOVE to write and write a weekly blog post on what I've learnt or on my experiences throughout the week. I love photography, but don't really do it a lot and I love to draw, but also don't really do it alot. I tend to only draw when my students ask me for a picture. I love technology, crystals and fidgets and buying new shoes! I love going to the movies! It's one of my happy places.
Oh...I play lawn bowls. I haven't for a couple of years now, but I'm hoping to get back into
it. I have been a state rep and a region rep and would love to be again. But it will take some time to work away the kinks of a few years away from the sport.

@Glisten well G, I have traversed Midvegas and have yet to find your messages. Leave no corflute unturned I said, so a couple ended up with googly eyes and tongues sticking out...heh heh. One of my friends has their face on the corflutes in my location so I was mindful of only putting nice looking googly eyes on theirs. There are heaps along the main road up to my Coles so maybe I should check those. And who in the name of all things silly would call an electorate Bullwinkel? Anyone else conjuring up a picture of a moose?! Speaking of big animals, how are Lenny and Mac?
I'll meet you at the Paddo for Cambodian mmhm!
@PeppyPatti I left it a few days for you to catch up on the posts. Plus I have been horrendously unmotivated and have done nothing but worry about doing nothing.
Hope y'all are doing well xo @Oaktree @MissinTooth @Shaz51

@ENKELI Hi, Thank you for asking.
I'm doing okay. I'm just working through some things. But I'm about to head to bed, I think...I feel exhausted tonight.
How are you?
yesterday
@MissinTooth sleep is a wonderful thing isn't it? I hope you feel refreshed. Dealing with mental health issues is so tiring.
I'm okay, still tossing up whether to go to an ANZAC service tomorrow or not.
Rest up and make sure you take care of yourself ❤️
yesterday
@ENKELI I was also tossing up whether to go to an ANZAC service tomorrow. I'm not sure yet, but we'll see how I feel when I wake up in the morning.
Sleep is amazing and I would love to be able to get consistent, good sleep, but it's probably a pipe dream. Ahaha. My body's been stuck in anxiety mode for nearly two weeks and if I'm honest, I'm exhausted.
yesterday
@ENKELI I'm dealing with the wind in the air --- the new chilly which is visiting Perth today ........
UN motivation.
I think mine is entrenched into my brain and body. Became a habit ......

This is why I am a terrible friend my @ENKELI Retiisi
I was coming back from Mundaring yesterday, so focused on going to Cr@igie for a sauna, I passed M’town turn off and thought, “Damn it! I don’t have my Sharpie.”
I hope your 💚 friend A** appreciates your art.
I remember one smart MP used her graffiti moustache photo to support Movember 🥸
Bullwinkle - Totally imagining a 🫎 moose. Not a nurse.
