Good afternoon @Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51 @Snowie @Emelia8 and all others passing by ๐
Just had a call from the new psych my pdoc asked to see me. She sounds so lovely and I instantly felt comfortable talking to her so I think it is going to be a good fit. She also works Saturdays so I won't need to try to fit things in around work. I won't be able to begin seeing her until after Easter but that works well for me also - time to get settled back into work, into my own routines and also have a little savings to be able to pay for monthly sessions. It won't cost a lot as the medicare rebate will cover a large portion but I will need to be able to cover the gap. All in all though I am happy she has agreed to take me on as that also means I will be able to see my pdoc every few months even though she has closed her private practice ...yet to work out exactly how that will look but that was the solution she came up with to make it easier on me. She is still working with inpatients at the hospital so will work appointments in with me somehow around that ...but that is for her to sort out ๐
Today has been pretty much a right off so far - got the washing done but slept most of the day. Going to try to get some housework done tonight so I have tomorrow to do school work - need to catch up on work and get my planning done as early as I can so I am more prepared for what will be another long week ...a lot of meetings again after school on most days and still some classroom sorting out to do.

I have picked up my crocheting hook @Snowie. I am going to make a blanket from wool oddments left from other projects. It will be a bit of a Mad Hatter type work, with different textures and embroidery thrown in to the mix. Maybe some beads too. I will make u
it up as I go along.
โค๏ธ @Zoe7. Here and listening Hon.

Your blanket sounds just like you Hon ๐๐ @Faith-and-Hope
Got a few things done but still very tired and sore. I had a day off my knee brace and am feeling it - so won't be doing that again ๐ I have stopped for now but will do the washing up before bed and tomorrow Toby needs a haircut and bath ...then back into school work. Tobes is already sound asleep but Clover is still outside ...going to bring her in soon though because I don't think it will be long before I am asleep too.
I hope you are having fun doing your blanket and that you, D2 and Jay are doing okay ๐๐๐บ

Up fairly early this morning @Faith-and-Hope - Toby wanted his breakfast - but I napped again afterwards. I will start to do a little school work early though as a result and hopefully that will mean I can relax a bit tonight and also get an early night. First thing though is a trip to Kmart and another store to get a few things for the classroom.
I hope you can enjoy more of your blanket making today and can find some peace in the process ๐

I have worked fairly solidly on my blanket today @Zoe7, and rested.
I hope you ended up catching a nap in the day somewhere.
There is a bratty stir-crazy cat stalking my wool at the moment โฆ.. after turning his nose up at all of his own toys, of course.

Haha @Faith-and-Hope Clover is the same - wants to get into whatever I am doing ...and plays with Toby's toys, whilst leaving most of hers alone. I have come home most days though seeing some of hers spread around the house ...but I am unsure whether she is playing with them or Tobes ...my fur babies are totally weird - but in a very good way. Tobes thinks he is a cat and Clover thinks she is a dog so they even each other out lol
Been a pretty good day - the kids are starting to settle in better and focussing more. They are still so little though and get tired by the afternoon so we don't do anything too taxing in the afternoons. They really are a great bunch and I feel very fortunate to have every single one of them in the class ๐
How has your day been? Any more of your blanket done? I have worked since I got home but finally finished some of what I wanted to get done - the rest will have to wait as I am tired and need to relax a bit before bed.

Yes, more done on my blanket @Zoe7, and more crappy emails โฆ. but the crappy emails are going to happen, so a few more have happened, and will soon be behind me. I will have a big crap pile to burn at the end of it all.
