For those of you who remember the Persian Tiles Afghan I made in February this year,
I am working on a different colour way of the design!
Ms DT has nabbed the original!
She just went daft when she saw it!!
'its pink and purple! ' 🥰🥰🥰
Was how she won me over

I’m outside in a T-shirt and shorts in full sun. I’m going to have to go and put some sunscreen on, I can feel the back of my neck starting to burn. I’m not complaining, this spell of lovely weather will be over by Tuesday #Wales #pembrokeshire

Absolutely super meal at our local supper club. The cafe only opens in the evening two nights a month, for themed set menus. Tonight’s was so delicious, “East meets west” European/Japanese fusion food. We’ve already booked for next month although they haven’t picked the theme yet

Massive dark clouds have suddenly blotted out the sun and we have rushed to get our two loads of washing in

Update from the Wholesome House: Today Mr Vibes was outside in the courtyard with his dog and a watering can, he was pouring and the dog was drinking from the stream of water 💜

Had a lovely time with my Twitter friend. She’s a professor of psychiatry who also suffers greatly with major depression. We talked about my PhD. I said I’d been looking at other jobs. She didn’t say, “Oh you mustn’t give up!” and she understood what I meant when I said I just wanted to do hands-on research as was questioning whether I really wanted to write a thesis. She’s a really good egg

I have booked a counselling session with the university wellbeing service. Not to discuss bipolar - they won’t touch severe mental illness - but to discuss my resistance to going back to my PhD. I have a massive block about it and feel I have lost all interest/momentum. I want to talk through whether I really want to go back.

Good Wednesday morning. The weather outside is miserable. My mood is sunny — my mom got the brace taken off her arm! She’ll have some OT to build up strength, but otherwise she’s good to go. This is huge for a woman who prizes her independence. Try going through a day without the use of one arm and you’ll see how limited your activities are.

After having every aspect of her life derailed since mid-January she can now move forward again. Onward and upward!

Morning! I’m having so much trouble getting to sleep since I changed my med timings. I was up until 1am again last night, even a sleep meditation didn’t do the trick. Still I had nothing particular to get up for, so I slept until 9am. Social worker coming round this afternoon, I can tell her that I’m much improved and probably don’t need her anymore - but! I want to ensure I can get timely support if things go bad again! What’s on your agenda?

Just been on my bed for the past two hours feeling awful and hating myself for not gardening, or indeed doing anything. Just pinned to the bed by misery, a feeling I used to get even in my teens. Just existing is difficult enough

Good #Slackerday morning to you. I'll join the chorus of folks who did NOT see the aurora borealis last night. Our chances were slim, due to thick clouds, so my expectations were low. I never saw them during a 3-week trip to Alaska, years ago. I love the photos people are sharing, though. Keep them coming! 💗

I'm feeling particularly lazy today, and I'm just going to go with it. I know it will pass.

Enjoy your day. I hope you can carve out some time for yourself. 🤗

Good Friday morning. Habit got me out of bed this rainy morning. I felt like sleeping in but put it off for no apparent reason. Coffee hasn't helped a lot, so I'll try plan B, which is to get up and move.

There isn't much I absolutely have to do except terrorize the cats with the vacuum cleaner, but they are used to that.

Enjoy your day, not matter what you do or choose not to do. 😉

Tom is encouraging me to get changed and go out and do some gardening, he’s probably right that it would do me more good than dozing on the sofa

A little late to yesterday's Coo fest, but my offering!
After yesterday's Mum episode, I'm hoping for a quiet day 💖
Trying to keep motivated, will be in charity shop this afternoon, which will help me focus on what really matters 🥰🥰

Tonight will be the fourth day in a row I have taken my lurasidone dose before bed instead of at 7pm and have not only been able to stay up later, but have not had an anxiety attack. Too nervous to say I’ve cracked it, but it looks promising

purplepadma, 10 days ago to random

Finally starting to feel calmer and less freaked out. I’m sitting on the patio with Tom and Miss Cinnamon is pottering about nearby. I didn’t achieve any of the things I wanted to do today.

Good morning! We’ve got a couple of cooler days, which is welcome. I can open the house back up before tonight’s rain.

With last night’s family birthday celebration behind me, it’s a day of errands. Nothing exciting expected or planned, but you never know.

Good Wednesday morning. Today is my granddaughter's 13th birthday. I'm not sure how that is possible, but there it is.

Since it's mid-week, the immediate family will get together for dinner and cake with strawberries and lots of teasing. I have to say, I am much happier to experience these teen years as a grandma than I was as a mom. At least age comes with some perspective.

Have a good day. Try to stay comfortable if you're in the heat, and safe if you've got storms.

Good morning! We're not getting our storms until tomorrow. Today's task is just to keep the house as cool as possible.

You've reminded me to add mopping our wood floors to my "I should" list, but I know it won't get done today.

Stay cool!

The rhubarb woman refused to give me a time I could go to her house and told me to just phone her on the off chance when I was near. I cannot stress how much rhubarb is not worth having to phone a complete stranger

Good morning. It was tough getting up this morning and for some reason my usual get-up-and-go is nonexistent. In an effort to boost my mood, here is a silly picture of Lucy drinking water from her favorite source- the bathroom faucet.

Have a good day!

It’s Lola’s 13th birthday today!!! I adopted my little baby 13 years ago from a Pet Supermarket in Lakeland where I lived at the time. She’s been through so much with me along with many moves across Florida. I’m so glad I finally purchased a home for her to provide us stability after many struggles through adulthood. Chewy sent her this cute little birthday card! I love this little fur queen so much 👑🐈🌞❤️ #CatsOfMastodon #Cat #CatBirthday #HappyBirthday #Celebrate #Chewy
