A day out...

A page in the diary "Meandering Thoughts"

I went out today... to the community centre... I was there to try and write some budget outlines for some training programs but I was not able to do the task as I needed some information... and the person who had the information had just experienced the loss of a close family member. He was in shock and it was not the right time to pursue the information... I will have to follow up soon though ... the world continues to turn despite our greatest loss...

While I was there I spoke to the trainer and she was organising a new trainer... I met him... he seems a lovely person... knowledgable on the topic of pc's...

I have to sell the course to the public... I will try and do something... not sure what...

I came home via Dick Smith's where I had to exchange the video lead for the 15pin computer dual head lead which was taken by the youth group... and oh dear ... the lead is there they kept saying and we kept saying No it isn't... so today we fixed the problem... the lead is there... and they had better not lose it again...

So the rest of my day was spent at home where I didn't have to walk around too much... the mental health nurse came and we talked about me moving house... I think I have decided to sell my house... because I need to find a place without stairs and the lift is a good idea...but then I have to repair the rest of the house... and renovate the bathroom... oh dear... not sure what to do...

Well that is my day... I often leave my house... tomorrow I have to go to the community centre again to tutor someone on computers... and then I have to come home for meals on wheels and then off back to the community centre... then off to see my pdoc... and then home then back to the community centre for a computer course on photo editing... scrapbooking...

that is it...

take care

Wow cate, sounds like you're quite the whiz with computers. Wish you were here earlier when mine decided to start playing up. Was in the middle of chat when it suddenly decided to not work any more. But I think I've fixed the problem now, I think the server just went down as we had a thunderstorm.

Anyway, it's good to hear you're keeping yourself so busy - well done. Good luck with your decision as to whether to sell your house, it's not a decision to take lightly, but I'm sure you'll make the right one.

Take care,
Karen xxx

Hi Cate,

Did you study computers at some stage in your life?

Can you come over and fix my parnters laptop??? lol.

Good to see you getting out and about. Nothing worse than sitting at home broading.

In regards to selling your house...when faced with a tough descision, what works for me is to look in the mirror and make the decision, then go to bed and sleep on it.

If you wake up feeling like crap, then its the wrong decision, but if you wake up feeling a sense of relief...then it is the right decision for you.

Try it and see how it works out for you

Thanks for your comment. I understand how the creative side of people comes from the right side of the brain. My therapist tells me all the time...how exactly do you go about making a conscious effort using the right side of the brain?

Good on you for getting out of the house and going to the community centre. You are right, the person to ask was not the right person and you were good to not ask them.

Good to know you are a computer wizzard - you should do some studying in them to help you get a job/out and making other friends.

Good luck with Dr T tomorrow.

Go Cate!!!

Hello,

Hey take it easy girl! You seem to be buzzing around all over the place. I hope you take time to self nuture. This means time out, mentally & physically, time just for you. long hot baths!

You seem to be functioning well but I feel a sense of robotic, day in day out feeling. Maybe it's time to remind your self of what a good, extra special day feels like and do something nice for yourself! You deserve it!
