A new start (kind of)

Re: A new start (kind of)

hi guys, how are you all going.

@MDT are you well, feeling positive?

@Zoe7 enjoy your quality time today with Toby ! and footy?

@TAB hope you're not feeling too achey today, get a good day's rest in. I'm impressed with your cooking skills, I can't do a roast.

 

I did my 12km hike yesterday. really glad I made myslef as I've been sedetary for the last week. I had very black, vicious ruminating, out of control mind, slightly psychotic symptoms, as I usually do when hiking. It was not very nice but I'm just glad I did the exercise for my body. Plus I was by myself so I could have my symptoms without worrying I would abuse someone if they irritated me. Today is my reward day, a lazy lunch and perhaps some drinks. Firstly I just have to tackle a large load of dishes and get showered & dressed & make-up'd.

 A lovely waterfall for you to ponder waterfall.JPG

..roast is easy @BryanaCamp  lots of leeway so long as pay some passing attention/guesswork lol I can do a good steak and make a cheap steak good as well lol bout the only thing mum couldnt do was cook steak, too used to lamb/mutton which cant be cooked enough lol am cleaned up here re bath and clean clothes. My now non-smoking nose got a huge whiff on way into bath ugh feel way better now anyway lol

Re: A new start (kind of)

Hey @BryanaCamp nice to see you. Sounds like a good day yesterday for you my friend 🙂
I am just finishing atthe gym this morning. Brunch after with my friend.
Then home to ponder how I approach tomorrow. I'm meant to have an interview, however the recruitment company didn't send me the details for the location or any person to contact. The only contact is the recruitment agent. And they haven't replied yet.
So rather than trigger an anxiety attack from this I am simply taking what comes. Asking myself if I am doing all in my power to meet the requirements of tomorrow... So yes I am. There's only so much I can do.
Anyways. I'm not too stressed. She said this employer can take a while so I'm sure if it doesn't go ahead then we can reschedule it for later.

Hey to @outlander @TAB @Shaz51 @Zoe7 @eudemonism @Bunniekins @BlueBay

@Faith-and-Hope @utopia and many others who are out there

Re: A new start (kind of)

Wow @MDT You are approaching a potentially anxiety provoking situation very calmly - that shows just how far you have come buddy - super proud of your attitude to it all Smiley Very Happy

Re: A new start (kind of)

good thinking @MDT  I've been in similar situations recently re getting the run around

Re: A new start (kind of)

glad you're feeling better @TAB, so nice to hear, and hope you get to smell some sweet smells today! I overcook everything, I'm good at stews but whenever I try to do a quick stir-fry my veg always turn out soggy, can't get the lightly cooked thing happening. oh well at least it's good nutrients.

@MDT well impressed with your attitude to those things/people beyond your control. besides that good on you for having an interview lined up, whenever it takes place, I'm sure you'll do awesome. It's so great you did a great job at your work & have a good reputation & referees now, that is not at all easy to achieve. hope you have a nice brunch with your friend that is a lovely thing to do.

Hello lovely @Zoe7 I know what you mean about the vacuming. I just have a cat but there is so much dust where I live, I don't know where it all comes from. I haven't been able to vacume for ages so the dust is coating all the floors and stuff like the dvd player. needs to be wet-dusted probably. I just managing to keep up with the cookery & washing up so the dust will have to wait.

Re: A new start (kind of)

I know what you mean @BryanaCamp I have so much dust that it looks like another little village growing in some areas lol - really need to get onto that in the holidays as well. The problem is I have so much 'stuff' everywhere with all my school resources filling nearly every room that I can't get into a lot of the areas to dust them - vacuuming will have to do for today.

Re: A new start (kind of)

wow @MDT  sooo  proud of your attitude to it all my friend

Hello @Zoe7 , @BryanaCamp , @TAB , @outlander 

Re: A new start (kind of)

Yeah well there's nothing else that can be done. And more jobs always come about anyway. That's how it is.

Right now though I'm tuning out from things. Hope your arvos are nice ones @Shaz51 @BryanaCamp @TAB @Zoe7
