Very Very good times @Zoe7.

When i see a big puddle now, sometimes I actually put the toe of my gumboot in, just to check that there is a bottom of the puddle. Then I jump, or walk or kick the water up in the air.

Oh @utopia you are such a rebel lol There is something therapeautic about jumping in puddles though. I know at school when it is wet we try to keep the kids away from the puddles but all I want to do is jump in myself - not the best role-model there for kids though lol

How are you going with your car dramas - is it getting fixed now?

[utopia]

I think a teacher willing to jump in puddles with the kids, is offering a lot to the kids. Show them how to do it properly. Not a little jump or a step. But make a BIG spash @Zoe7

My car is at my mechanics. Should be ready tomorrow. Then I have to sew up the split in the drivers car seat and put a new seat cover on it. Get it re assessed at the Road Worthy mans shop and then, fingers crossed, it passes, I can take it to the big town and get it reregistered.

Seeing my psychiatrist tomorrow. Asking him for a letter explaining my cognitive and memory problems - and will be applying under Special Circumstances Mental Illness for my fine to be wiped out.

Will also get a letter from him re: my full mental health, and how long it's been going on, my mental and cognitive abilities. My inability to cope with stress and to ignore it. To try to get the interest taken off of my overdue council rates. Half is interest. And this is 4 years worth. My Case Manager is helping me with it.

It sounds like despite there being a lot to deal with that you are actually coping with it better than you think @utopia Keep putting one foot in front of the other (and avoid puddles lol) and you will get there. So pleased you have support to do all this though Hon.

My meds are kicking in so I need to flutter off to bed but I hope we can catch up again very soon - miss chatting to my beautiful cocky friend

Yes I tend to freak out when something is occuring @Zoe7. Really struggle. Then the next day I am able to process it all, and I'm calmer.

Sweet Dreams or No Dreams for you my butterfly friend.

My son pointed out a flock of cockatoos and of course I thought of you. You do have a place here @utopia 

[utopia]

Thank you so much @Appleblossom. Your words were very kind.
