Mum turned 70 today, me 49 on the 1st, as my sister, exactly a year apart, she is the sister who has disowned the family. She turned fifty the other day. Yea, me ist oct 72 she 1st oct 71. Mum been a tad crook, in isolation, shakes fever, but no Covid, dr on it.

Been doing my 3rd mosaic table, this a big one, and been at it a bit, and mosaic tiles been costing the turtle a little, but worth it. Got a test tomorrow to do, then the urology consultant on the 12th. Yeah, lesions were seen on my ct pelvic contrast, and some other bits. Am very tired these days, grumpy endo wed, at least it a phone call, lol!
Next week is full...errr. Not much of a spring, cold, brrr.

Yeah because of numbers in Melbourne, even though not in Melbourne mum, aged resi, full lock down, mum depressed, she calls it lock up, and she been in her room with door shut due to an infection.
On Thursday i will have a possible new support worker for Mondays, he will shadow shift with my regular Thursday, meet n greet. Next week full on, and many things on a couple of the days. Upgraded the light on the bike, got rid of the plastic rubbish that was on it, and awaiting a waterproof phone holder, the other i had to remove, too small. So, in a couple of weeks a new employment coordinator, x fingers this time, and i will be looking at signing up for study next year.

Keep strong, yes, all of you. Good to be engaging a decent psychologist, you know what the turtle is like regarding 'behaviourists'! and cbt! HT

Hi

Cheers back at you mate!

HI EVERYONE.
Well, got a reply, a phone call on sunday regarding an expression of interest to do some volunteering.
Wenbt in Monday, 5pm, it was a big day prior. A stack of electronic paperwork, and a mini electronic hygiene course, basic stuff, but the navigation, and emailing it forward was a process. Had the tour, another lady was signing up as well. Small place, i have known of it for many years. Prepared food is given out to the homeless, tea coffee etc. Blankets, hygiene products, etc. It small and will be a busy place, good, much to do. Dishes, serving, restocking, tidy, good. Doing my working with children check, sort of covers everything, wow the online process kept stuffing up, but after many attempts i found another way.

Looks like 4 volunteers, they need for evening meals fri and sat nights, for volunteers, 7 till10pm, or a tad earlier, suits me. Maybe in a few weeks. My employment pathways worker was impressed. Got a photo and a few bits at the post office, closed tomorrow, public holiday. Got more colour in the garden, yes i have been busy. Sorted my tool kit and pump on the bike, support worker said velcro tape, pull on and off, no stealing, excellent.

My 3rd mosaic table is at the art centre, bit more grouting, thursday, i need to buy the centre some grout! Or a gift voucher. Kate the artist gave me her own supply last week. Did a glorious ying yang, very eclectic.
New support worker (Mondays) is cool, he an avid gardener, and has taken the excess ball grasses, as i have way to many, talk about happy reuse!

Urology cancelled last week, Nov 9, however GP got one lot of tests, the liver and other internal scan, a couple of lesions with what my GP indicates with inflammation, haematoma. Reckons benign, and probably seperate from my bladder. Not long till i see the specialist.

Be good, yes. HT

PS, TABLE HOME, FINISHED. BEEN ATTACKING THE GARDEN, FRONT AND BACK, GOOD MAN.
A TAD TIRED TODAY, WARM DAY, DID A BIT. MY WORKING WITH CHILDREN CHECK IS APPROVED,
SLOW N STEADY, YES. HAD A SECOND WIND FROM NOT MUCH Z'S. GOT SOME MILK FOR MY MATE, WHO IS A BIT UNDER THE WEATHER, HE HAD A COVID TEST YESTERDAY.
NEW SUPPORT WORKER TODAY, AS MY WED IS MOVING ONTO BIGGER THINGS. THE NEW GUY, I THINK TOOK MY SUNNIES, GOT A PAIR HERE, THAT AINT MINE! LOL.

KEEP STRONG, YES. HT

Cheers all, M/R, good to see you post. HT

BEEN AROUND TOO LONG! HT

Keep hanging in there Jamie. I hope that the mass is benign. Stay busy as you have. But don't forget "me" time. You need that too.

I hope your summer is going well. Or would it still be spring? I hope you have a good day Jamie, mine's coming to the end of the day.

Take care Mate!!!

Keep up the good work!!!

Hugs, Karen...

Doesn't sound too bad Jamie. Glad your mum is accessing patient transport.

I hope you have a good sleep mate.

Talk soon.

Hugs, Karen...

Good for you Jamie. Always good to get the self advocacy taken care off.

Akin to balancing the check book, at least monthly.

Wishing you a periwinkle patch to lay in.

Hey, had the Xmas party up at the respite, went up Thursday, stayed the night, and helped with some others with set up, 4 hours in the morning. The owners did a major job with Xmas stuff everywhere, even stand up Santa's and stuff. I earned my board and dinner! Around 40 clients, many with support stuff arrived. I was the carpark marshal, it became that the extent of cars ended up in the front paddock!

Mum going through a lot of psychosis, sis drove down with her partner to spend time with mum and engage more with the nursing staff, she called on her way home with an update. I will be taking mum to sisters shop, for a feed on the 23rd, Xmas type thing. Sis has a space at the back, we have done it before.

Am taking an extra 200mg of Lamotrigine, will take a bit to get moving.
MRI is in Feb and Urology appointment, changed the MRI appointment as it is on a date i will be on respite, Urology appointment as well, calling outpatients is a nightmare, last try was 40 minutes, am in the area and will pop in tomorrow, after my Psychology appointment.

Keep strong, HT
