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

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

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.

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.
