UPDATE, BLAH BLAH LOL

Hello all, been awhile since i have said anything much about me.
Well, am doing good. Shrink is impressed, cycling, wall press ups, he said you exercising with his mouth hitting the floor! The increase in the Lamotrigine has shown good efficacy. My bloods came in after my session on my client portal, i can read results, been doing it for years. 14 for the increased dose to 600mg, and i was 12, and only after 3 weeks, happy days.

Been getting massages, free, from the massage school in town, today had one, happy days. Rode into town, then to see mum, i visit a week allowed, but as of Friday restrictions ease off; i mean Geelong has had to wear all of the brunts of Melbourne's outbreaks, when we have never had a single case, yes our restrictions have usually been lessened, bar the first couple of state wide lockdowns.

Have been doing wall press ups for a bit now, up to 3 blocks of 25, morning arvo night, good boy. Rode to the pharmacy and had a walk to the shop, yes am tired now. Yep, winter, brr. The turtle does winter better than summer.
Have had both Pfizer jabs, the second, 10 hours later, and i am no sook, my arm was on fire, and i ate coedine, ibruprofen like it was the lattest lolly on the market! Lasted a couple of days.

My sis has managed to survive many a lockdown with her business in Melbourne, she is alike me, never say die.
Done a two full day course on Psychosocial recovery coaching. Had my OT visit yesterday, update, bounce some ideas, nice. Been buying stuff for the beast, the bike, yep it named. Today arrived a second u lock i bought, a side mirror, awaiting on a proper helmet, has red light on back, etc. A visor, proper riding helmet. One of my riding gloves fell out of my pocket the other day, doh! Have ordered a cycling backpack. Just a light one.

Have done a new cv with the Employment Pathways worker, and my peer worker and i are getting sorted for an application in January for the Cert 4 in Peer Mental Health Work. Been having some Psychology sessions, just to bounce the ball with. Have done a bit of free peer support, when covid gets more sorted will be seeking some Volunteer stuff. The red bullet, got smashed with the mediator, a real expletive, so i have initiated a full hearing, win lose, not care, shame them, it is needed.

Yes, the turtle is beginning to get into some shape, my biceps have increased in definition!
Be good, my fish are good.

Be good, HT

Look at you swimming like a momma turtle, to lay her brood!

Positive everything for final assault against Reef.
Karma will get responsible parties in time

Always to shake up the care team once and a while. Keeps them on their toes!

Safety with helmet brings a smile
Blood work does too
Rock on..

Good to hear you are doing well HT! All my best-weary

Hi kids,

Creating more advocacy change, you know, the HT can't help himself!
The employment pathways agency i use have had 2 staff members, that i used, and others quit in succession, first 3 weeks in the other 4-5 weeks in. I got left hanging at an appt at the library not knowing the second one had quit.

Further i have been pushing for a client perspective on the interview panel, had a zoom session last week with 2 of the big wigs, and last Friday i went in and cleaned up their defunct interview scenario questions. Next week, i think, i shall sit on the interview panel on the whittled down candidates. Am waiting to hear what they thought of some of the ideas i threw at management. They require two employees, and one will be my new employment pathways co-ordinator.

Been cycling a tad, had a swim spa sauna today, the pool reopened after maintenance. Doing my wall press ups, good boy, keeping my steps up. HT

Yeah, did the 2 zoom interviews, was good, but a tad plastic were my questions i had to use. At the end i gave one ad lib to each. Did some catch up training fri, when we had winds and floods awhile back, only two rocked up to the zoom session, me, a lady named jan, who was in one of the study groups last time. We had the lecturer for an hour and half, bonus i reckon.

The other bit was my main agency, me not knowing my new team leader, 4 weeks into the job, new client engagement officer 2 months in, and few other new people, admin etc, yes, the next day after my chat with my team leader, and her responding to my email, after 3 days had actioned in her chatting with management, and wow, i on behalf of all clients got an email, as all clients, families would have, with the phot and info on each person. Yes, i am proud of this.

Golly gosh, yesterday the civil court emailed, man more bs, can't email info, need this that, errr, done this 3 times and i lost my head and vented with a return email. 19th of October, i will need massive support to sort this mess, it has to be mailed in. Not sending jack to Reef, they got it a year ago. Actually after much research i found the manufacturer of the scooter in China. Kind reply, of such, empathising, as they not the retailer, and advised it was sold via a trader, i replied with have you got any ideas, i await this. Told the manufacturer i am not taking any prisoners.

Got one more zoom interview monday morning.
Going on retreat mid august, providing no more lock downs.
Keep strong, HT

I have withdrewn the civil action regarding the scooter via a venomous email.
Can't take it.
Release it. HT

Thx. HT

Sorry to read about the uti. I hope that the camera procedure goes well.

Thinking of you as always.

Hugs, Karen...

🐄 🐖
Peace all

Camera look see showed a compression in the bladder wall, seen a bit of it on the screen, when i wasn't wincing in pain. Yeah, stiff upper bladder neck still there. Urinated razor blades for 2 and a half days!
Got a ct full bladder to do, and the degrading urodynamics study in September, some bloods, blah blah.
the last zoom yesterday confirmed one candidate for the job.

In another 7 day lockdown, started last night. Hope i get to go on my retreat.
Had great appt last monday with the physio at the pain mgt unit, got more exercises. Tuesday, psychology appt,
they back on, well were, after our last restrictions.
Table finished, boo, can't grout it next thursday, errr.
2 bike tues i ordered on amazon arrived, good. The beast and i are doing good.

Be good, yes.
Hi everyone,
Cheers, HT

Keep strong.

So glad you are doing good HT, sorry about your gloves, darn it! Glad you got to see your mum. I hope she is well. I am also glad your sister is still going with her business in lockdowns. So happy to hear that you are getting shape and doing so good. You stay warm in that cold weather. Glad that your numbers are looking good too! No slowing this turtle down! Sorry you had a hard time with the jab, not fun. Keep safe and keep going.

Mums psychosis, has got bad. Will seek an emergency visit, i can under care for a residents mental health. Have the managers number. Have a new sofa bed, good, breaking it in. New proper mountain bike pedals, not the plastic rubbish they came with, and same with the light, got one, on handle bars, detachable, on full, blinding.
Err, Fluroscopy next Thursday, my least favourite test. Psychology back on, next Tuesday. Yeah the happy turtle been riding about, good boy. Lashed out, for something i need, an i phone, have a smart phone. Sis pushed me to buy an Apple, never used one. Bought the Apple xs max, seems good for me, size too refurb, some coin, yes, should arrive in a few days. Safety, on Paypal. Re configured my lounge room, better, yes. Pick up table, yeah, the finished mosaic table, we went into lock up whilst it was drying.

Booked another respite for start of February, i can manipulate my support budget!
Keep strong, stay safe. Been buying stuff from my sisters store, they in a hard lock up, regional came out Friday, errr 8 construction workers brought it with them here, err. We never had it here, full compliance, np cheating, no raves, no breaching the rules, nor protestors. Those not double jabbed will find it hard going to the pub, cinema, etc. Yes, i am double, a while ago now, no mess about.

Begood. HT

Cheers mate. Mum called today, doing much better. Playing tunes, staying away from the news today.
Iphone- i reckon will arrive, hopefully tomorrow. Winter is dying hard, climate change. Bit of pottering about, bits and pieces. AVG antii virus done a devious act, naughty sneaky double dip, was on it like flies on....
you get it. Secure chat, remote access, 30 mins, it added to my current subscription, 2023, it out of the way, i guess. Paid other stuff, admin type stuff, good boy. Tardy getting going, but i still am. WQe must celebrate small achievements, these are actually really big ones, for they lead to much more.
Keep strong everyone. HT
