Just took Pix to the vets. She has an irritated bowel. An anti nausea medication and a bowel medication and see will be fine.
The vet was nervous when she saw Pix as in pix’s file is handle with care in big red letters. But her and pix became friends. Pix didn’t growl and didn’t bite! The vet could even rub her tummy and check her heart rate without any issues. Progress!!

Hey @rav3n
Another vet come out while I was waiting to pay and she was careful to not come too close to Pix! Pix is well known!! The receptionist heard the vet say ‘we’re best friends now’ when the receptionist came out and saw that it was Pix she was surprised!
I’ve been doing ok. I did fail at having breakfast but I am going out to lunch with a friend so that will make up for it.
I have cleaned my house including doing the floors. Except the laundry but that’s on the list for today to clean out the cupboards underneath the sink. Now I’m about to clean out the tall bit and get rid of the stuff that doesn’t fit. We’ll see how the rest of my list goes after lunch!
My psych did say to me that I don’t have to be on the go all the time that I am allowed to have some days of nothing. I have so much I want to get sorted while I’m off work though. She said I was even allowed to have the odd nap but to set boundaries around it.
I do feel better when I have accomplished stuff though.
How are you going?

Morning @Captain24! 🌞
I understand, study isn't simple or easy at all - though I do think you're very capable. What prompted discontinuing the course for you? (If you don't mind me asking)
She sounds like a wonderful human to be around (as are you).
What kind of vibe are you doing for lunch? Cafe/Restaurant/Pub?
I know!! Hmm, I am thinking it could be a special overnight stay for you at some point? Maybe in the future. 🥰
It sounds like you have already gotten heaps done today! So, I hope you allow yourself to luxuriate in your lunch with your friend. You deserve it.

It was too much pressure @AuntGlow and I wasn’t in the mind frame for it.
Just the pub for lunch. That’s where most people go.
I have done heaps. I’ve just got to move the washing machine and dryer out to clean behind them and the laundry is all done. The tall boy is done. I threw heaps away.
Hopefully when I get home from lunch I can finish the laundry. Plus I want to clean the floor of my walk in robe so I can start in the rest of it. The rest of it is for next week.

i wonder what changed, sounds like she has a whole new attitude today! @Captain24
hope the lunch (or maybe brunch?) goes well! woww you are powering through that list - but i get what you mean, the feeling of ticking those tasks off does feel great. i guess the important part is balance, and taking those lil breaks whenever you feel your energy dropping.
i'm going alright, just super tired - had a week of poor sleep. i might skip gym to sleep earlier tonight, i can always go tomorrow. this random - i just had some guy call me, i think he dialled the wrong number and i didn't pick up since i didn't recognise the number. he left a voicemail - i don't recognise his voice at all, but he asked to meet up tonight at his lol. idk if its a scam or if i should message him and let him know its a wrong number, thoughts on what i should do? 😅

She did @rav3n. I hope it continues each time we go!
Lunch was good. I just got home. This sounds mean but I wasn’t as self conscious about my weight as she has added some as well. Damn this perimenopause bullshit! We talked about heaps. Well mainly she talked but it was good to have some connection!
Im getting things done which is good. I like seeing them actually crossed off. Just trying to talk myself into finishing the laundry. I’m feeling the need for a nap after lunch but nans husband is dropping around her sewing table sometime this afternoon.
A week of poor sleep is so hard especially and makes things so much harder. Do you follow a sleep hygiene routine? Maybe an early night might help.
Did you decide what to do with the call?
