@MJG017 i can just imagine Luna having an absolute blast with the new toy. Maybe she won't try to chase your toes or ankles so much 😂

That is a huge win! You did really well with the counsellor. I can only imagine how difficult you would have found it, but you went through with it, so you definitely should be very proud of yourself. I hope the next appointment goes well for you again. It great that you finally got to speak to someone supportive. That is great news in itself.
Yeah the drug thing is frustrating. It's not like it's a drug keeping me alive or anything. There's completely no need for a backup system or anything! This is why I always order it early each month, but maybe I need to start ordering it even earlier. Yet something else making things harder that they should be.

@MJG017 it was hard but I really want to try and get support.
Yeah that's super frustrating.
I gotta hop off so I'll chat to you next time.

Hello @MJG017, sorry I had to leave so suddenly last night. I hope the day is going ok for you.
I went for a small shopping trip earlier to get some groceries. Woke up this morning with a bit of a cold, lack of sleep is catching up to me. Just having a rest for the rest of the day now. I treated myself to a new Lego set to cheer myself up although I still haven't built the skate from last time.
You been up to much today?

What is the new Lego?
I also woke up this morning with a bit of a cold... must be something going around.
I do go to a book launch today. A guy in our group released a book (fiction, but based strongly on him and his family and his cancer experience). He gave a really emotional but awesome talk. So I went along, bought a copy and got him to sign it... as you do 😁. A bit disappointed no one else from the group turned up, but it was a good turn out so quite happy for him.
Now I'm just tidying up me workshop a bit. It's such a mess and I need to sort it out and start deciding what gets sold and what stays. Obviously id like to keep it all, but practicalities get in the way!

@MJG017 it's Angel to go with my Stitch.
Must be something in the water 😂. Hope you are feeling better soon.
Oh that sounds like it would have been nice to go to. Glad you were able to be there 😊.
I need to tidy off my table cos it's trashed at the moment but I've had zero motivation, you know how it goes when things are really bad mental health wise, it takes an enormous amount of energy to just get out of bed. I'm looking at it now and want to move some things around but I just don't have it in me right now. It's a job for another day i think. I need to sell things aswell but again lack of motivation gets in the way 😂.

@Jynx i really can't answer how I'm going, not at the moment. But I can share that I managed to talk to a counsellor on the phone the other day. It's taken me years to work up the courage to even get to this point but I finally did it and I have another appointment set up. Baby steps but it's at least progress.
What have you been up to lately?
