I went into my old workplace today.. meet my boss.. am starting back there next week.. working 3 days to start off with - then will extend it to 5. I dont want to burn myself out..
Its been over 6 weeks, since Ive had any income.. so will be good to start to build the bank balance up again.
I ran into some workmates and they were all happy to see me so that was a real buzz!
Thanks alot for the great comments..Ive had of late.. is nice to see / hear what you have to say..
I really enjoy books.. and it helps me to switch off and not be in thinking overload mode.
I need to go back to the library tommorrow to return the books Ive read and get some more..
I have a week to fill up.. so intend to start walking with my Mum in the mornings.. which will be healthy and a good way to start the day.. and also start back at lap swimming up at the local pool.. just need to get some goggles and a cossie.
I used to really enjoy lap swimming.. at one stage Id swim 2km.. so would be great to slowly work towards that again..
I need to start off a hobby too.. maybe something creative like Art - drawing/painting..
Bye for now
Be Well Everyone :)

Glad work was good and you are doing it as a graduated program and not going full time right away.

Why haven't you applied for sickness benefits with Centrelink to get some money given you are sick/been sick.

Glad you saw your workmates and they were all positive. You will find the return to work easy if they are going to be like this next week.

God 2 km swimming, you must have been fit. I have trouble with 50 mtrs because I am so overweight. Good luck with the walking. Glad you have someone to do it with as that is a good motivator.

Go Blue!!!
