Hey @Exoplanet cheers for the encouragement about support workers. I have been feeling weird about being approved, feeling too privileged when I know that there are many people in more desperate situations. Most of them may not even know about NDIS and no advocate to do an application for them. It really troubles me. At the same time I know the support will almost certainly help me, as it has in the past.
I wonder if you've been able to talk to your sister about her husband. Should have known you may get into some inner strife about missing that appointment. Hugs.
My plan for last night was to go to a nearby country town and read some poetry in public. That plan fell through, mainly because the meeting from the day before took it out of me and I was not well enough to do such a big thing next day. Friend I was going to visit was also too sick to meet up. Maybe I'll brave it next month.
Missing the currawongs in the new place. The crows have the run of this area that is more inland. I love them too and the many other birds, not to mention the masses of flying foxes. Still, I'm missing the stirring plaintive cry of the twilight currawongs.
Lots of love to you.

Oh my magical Mazy @Mazarita
That is so sweet Thank you
& although I don't know you in person, which makes it safer for me to tell you - I love you more than there are atoms in the Universe
My thought & emotional process is just a little tired, I'm fine, but my fingers are having trouble hitting the right keys - which is annoying 😉
I've booked my next holiday, it'll be in June 🙂 gives me a bit of time to pay in off 😉
Hope everything's going well for you
Loads of love to you

Loving you across the distance as well, @Exoplanet, my friend.
I love the way the atoms of the universe come together in you.
Understand finding it hard to write, for whatever reason. I am not as co-ordinated on the computer as I once was. Frustrating but I reckon it's probably a good thing, getting me to slow down, letting the drive soften. Relaxing.
Went for a walk today in the wetland with C. Wonderful. A black cormorant had its big wings open on the bank over the lily pond, almost a little lake that is. Swamp hens, ducks and their babies, a little parade of a duck family getting out of the water. The cars stop for the ducks around those suburban streets. It's truly a special little valley.

You've been leaving me such beautiful pics @Mazarita Thank you!
We've had a bit of rain here!!! It wasn't enough for the Staffy to swim in the dam, but it was wet 🙂
Lots of love to you

So good you had some rain, @Exoplanet. It's been raining here too.
Recovering from a severe headache since last night. Pretty doped up but in little pain now, a great relief.
I think it's fallout from the NDIS meeting on Wednesday. I had no sleep at all the night before and, aside from a 2 hour nap that arvy, couldn't sleep again until 2am the next night.
Good news is I was told I will have a plan next week and should be able to start support activities not too long after that.
Yay pictures! Sending you another now. one of my arty shots of the potted frangipani on the balcony here.
Lots of love to you, Mazzy 💚💛

Dear Mazy @Mazarita So sorry I hadn't seen the message, I haven't been looking on the site - I don't know why it's usually a part of my morning routine. I'm feeling fine, but I think my thought & emotional process was a bit off; I got in & did some things yesterday so maybe I'm coming out of
it? That headache sounded pretty horrible, I think being doped up was better I think your thought & emotional process was a bit off too, but I bet it's changed with the news of the NDIS plan 🙂 Love the frangipani leaf pic 😄
Hello beautiful @Sophia1

There's been enough rain for the Staffy to swim in the dam agian!!! Which he's doing every afternoon 🙂 I got in and chipped away some tree sapplings from outside the fence in the past couple of days, I don't do outside of it very often. The lawn is the next challenge 😉 It's starting to cool off a little at night, enough for me to pull up a blanket {yippee}.
