    Good morning.

    I slept until 3.30 am which is good for me.

    Just taken my morning medication and now try to get a bit more sleep.

    I'm having a quiet day in.

    I have two nights of soaps to catch up on.

    I hope you all manage to have the best day you can.

    I really hope you don't have much longer to wait Amberpearl, for your Review once they've got it, and your heart results. I've been referred back to Cardiology I didn't dare ask how long the waiting list is.

    I'm on the waiting list for rheumatology too, that's still 12 months 🙄, it was 12 months 8 months ago. They've only got two, apparently covering a population of tens of thousands of people. I don't/try not to dwell on it now as that interferes with the enjoyment I can get from each day. There's only so much we can worry about. Take care.

    Nice to see that the sun is shining for some of you. It's shining here too 😊

    That's great that you're volunteering @Schildpad. Do you mind sharing what you do? Hopefully once you're there you'll feel less tired.

    I am an arts facilitator.. peer support. So people come here to draw. Have a cuppa, eat lunch if they want.. it is a community centre. So i do not do much. I sometimes create workshops. I hand paper, pencils etc... I mean it is.only for 3 hours.... but yes overall is art therapy... i am better here than getting depressed. @Rachel_Scope

    Thank you @luvpink having my nails done is my treat to myself.

    It is too nice to stay in perhaps you could walk down to the sea.

    Take care.

    @Amberpearl the more you write down the better.. i did put two more pages in mine. It will be ok.

    That sounds wonderful @Schildpad! I'm glad it helps your mental health. My mum has MS and she has been to a couple of art therapy sessions and loved it. Although she wasn't happy with her first painting 😂

    That sounds painful @Santosha12. Are you sure you'll be ok until tomorrow to see a Dr?

    @Rachel_Scopei hate my art …. it grows on me eventually but i tend to be very critical on myself. i prefer what other people do.. and it is very therapeutic and rewarding to see what other people can do. it takes practice.. i do not practice enough my art in general. people who come to the sessions do it every day. But yes i will keep going. the facilitators are doing collage art. a workshop is maybe coming on printing using linocut.. we are always researching…. i am doing some of the research on ideas for new workshops etc.. . i am at home now. weather is nice but i am tired.. so i will be watching tv… i do really think it helps with the mental health also with the hands etc… mine they get stiff sometimes…so holding pencils etc.. or scissors with cutting stuff helps…
