thanks @BryanaCamp

Take it easy today. Sounds like you are achieving some good goals

[BryanaCamp]

Yesterday I did my volunteering

Today I went for a 5km walk

did the dishes

went out and bought a new fridge - this is a big goal for me to have achieved, I've been putting it off for 6 months but I finally got so desperate I had to take aciton! It get's installed next week and I'm really looking forward to it.

Well done @BryanaCamp you're kicking goals today!

I am having a day off work but it's never restful 

Have been to the Vet, took kid to Specialist, Physio and soon haircut.

Then have to pick the other kid up. I'm a bit fed up. And tired. And broke!

My goal for myself is to get an early night. Not very exciting.

I think I need to plan some things to look forward to as my mood has gone really flat.

Hi @Shaz51  @Teej  @MDT and all passing by. Hope today is ok for you.

Today I applied for three intern roles in the UK

I feel good about this even if I don't get them. It's progress. My weekly total is now 8

Well done @frog and @MDT ! great work 🙂

frog, you sounds so busy, I can't imagine having kids, I find it hard at times just looking after the cat & myself.

Hamsolo well done on your job applications, 8 is so impressive! I've been writing a few too lately after 7 years of unemployment back haven't heard back yet, just have to keep trying. Are we going to lose you to the UK  😞

Yesterday I took a 4km walk, did the dishes, load of washing & went out to lunch with some new friends & had a lovely time.

My goal today is to attend a social gathering & remain calm, to avoid any arguments - my psychotic symptoms have been playing up so it;s made me very irritable & argumentative,

Good luck everyone with your goals today.

Thanks @BryanaCamp
Hope you have a good day

Hi @BryanaCamp  yesterday sounds like a good one for you. I understand the effort of staying calm at social gatherings. I don't like big events, lots of people. I'm better at small gatherings of people I already know. I get anxious otherwise. And family stuff - oh my - can be stressful. Hope all goes well for you today.

I can't believe the day is half gone. On my to do list:

• Clean bathroom
• Do ironing
• Do assignment

None of which is much fun, though I am watching a Netflix doco when I have ironing.

• On my wish list
• Reading a book
• Early night
• Do some sketches for a zine idea.

How are you going @Shaz51  @Teej ?

Agree with BryanaCamp you're going really well with the job applications @MDT It is hard work so kudos to you sticking with it and getting so many in.

way to go my @frog 

hello @Teej , @MDT , @BryanaCamp , @eudemonism 

[BryanaCamp]

hi gang, sending good vibes to @Shaz51 , @Teej , @frog , @MDT , @eudemonism 

well done on your big list frog, hope you got an early night.

today I did a short work out, went for a 5km walk (even with a tiny bit of jogging!), did the grocery shopping, did a load of washing, making a curry that will keep me going for a while.

My social gathering went well, I wasn't argumentative or irritable and I didn't feel like people were crossing my boundaries which is good.

My goal is to have an early night and try not to munch out on sugar at night.

[frog]

Good effort @BryanaCamp Well done on the social event, and today's activities. Making a batch of curry is a good idea!

I got my essentials done yesterday but the early didn't happen due to sick kid.

Trying again for that tonight.

Before then I need to

• sort some stuff out from first day back at school
• cook dinner - pasta tonight
• sweep the floor

Have a good evening all.
