@ENKELI  I can’t remember what thread we were in talking about books. Our love of books 📚 The beautiful perfume of old books.

My granddaughter’s bedroom reading nook. My idea, but I didn’t build it.

There’s another layer of book at the back 😆

Duchess - Cat that complements the furniture. 😏

 

[ENKELI]

@Glisten that reading nook is perfect. I always fancied a bay window in my bedroom where I could sit with pillows and books in my dream house.

Duchess appears aptly named. She is beautiful.

I feel very bland today, been fighting anxiety and as always, lack of motivation.

[PeppyPatti]

Ah. I thought I posted but didn't. 

Honey @ENKELI I wrote you that stuff about a very sensitive person because I was wondering if it suited you ?? 

No motivation is ok. You paid your home off. 

Iv begun the embroidery of the damn dogs again. 

What's happening tonight we Everyone ? Footys on. 

BBB anana milkshake for dinner tonight 

@Glisten @Oaktree @ENKELI @AuntGlow @Cuddlebear

@ENKELI  you can be the most extraordinary person in the world and still fill bland.

Is it your diabetes? Menopause trip doesn’t help. Stupid meat sacks, stuff always goes wrong with them. But it’s all we have to feel the sun on our backs, breeze on our faces, and the bliss of sauna.

@PeppyPatti Beeeee-nana! Yummy dinner. I have a store bought lasagne but not feeling that hungry. I had leftover chicken and mushroom for lunch so don't need a big meal tonight anyway.

I tried to find the post you made about HSP but can't. I don't believe that I am hyper sensitive, although I do feel certain things very deeply and will become very emotional if I hear about certain situations and I have to make myself stop thinking about the situation or it becomes quite painful emotionally.

I am praying for the Hawks to beat the Cats for very personal reasons - ex friend is a cats supporter. Petty of me but she isn't blameless.

I am completing a diamond painting I started a week or so ago, then will look for another one to do.

My shoulder is causing me some pain so I'm buzzed with some forte-ification and  listening to Animal Planet on the TV.

I have about a week left on my C'link medical exemption so I'm fretting about the requirements I will have as I don't feel any better than I did 3 months ago when I got the exemption from my GP. I'm not sure if I can extend it or not, time to find out I guess.

[ENKELI]

@Glisten no the anxiety and bland feeling is the result of something else, it's a spiritual thing.

Thinking about having to start looking for work again is stressing me. 

I feel better now, I'm finishing off a diamond painting and thinking about making a pot of coffee as opposed to instant. It's Friday, I'm feeling reckless!

How's TARMAC going?

[Glisten]

@ENKELI  I’m getting no support looking for a job. Those job places are all the same. I don’t want to deal with people and revolving door workplaces.

I got a regular Monday garden maintenance job. A second one lined up after Festivus. Want to garden with me 😁

I get worried that my body isn’t going to hold out. Right now I need some physiotherapy.

[ENKELI]

@Glisten sounds like a plan. 
I had the opposite, I was assigned a "career counsellor" who was an ex British cop. He should have stayed a cop because he didn't have the people skills to deal with older women with mental health issues. He knew my concerns about my teeth and still forced me to apply for a job working as a receptionist. I got my exemption just as he was pushing me. I have only ever had one provider get me a job and that was nearly 15 years ago. I have always got my own jobs and I want to be more discerning with what I do now. 
I don't want to answer phones, I don't want to greet clients at the front desk. All I want to do is data entry. These jobs alas are few and far between so I'm pushed into jobs I don't want.

I don't have accounts experience either so that narrows things down even more.
Time to leave it to the good Lord and stop worrying about what the provider wants.

My shoulders ache on a regular basis due to disc degeneration and I have arthritis in my fingers thanks to 35+ years working in admin. Here's hoping I win more than $16.40 on the next big lotto draw so I can retire and tell the job provider "Knickers to you, I'm self funded."
I do feel bad claiming C'link too, peoples' hard earned wage taxes subsidising me. I'd much rather be the tax payer subsidising someone else.

And now I'm craving chocolate...!

[Glisten]

@ENKELI  my Retiisi. I think we have both paid enough tax over the last 30 years to pay for our Job Trauma payments.

I can’t ever go back into an office. I got no pushback, but I haven’t had any support from the service provider. Job Service providers are really awful at their job.

There is NOT enough hours in the day for self care and job applications. Especially when trauma is involved.

The system sucks 🍒

Check this out. I have no idea who this is, but most people bring their dogs.
