Hi. Today I am grateful for a lot. I had a good meeting with my drawing group, then I helped my friend move. I am grateful that I am inside, it's cool and breezy in here through my window, and the sun is shining. My friend bought me pizza for helping her, and it was so tasty. I'm listening to music I like and writing.

I had a potluck tonight with 16 people to "break in" my new place. I am grateful to have people who came and stayed and brought good food (but too much of it, as always with potlucks).
I am so lucky. I am blessed. The potluck was scheduled for 5:30-7:30, but didn't empty out until 8:30, so people were having a good time.

I too have much to be grateful for. Last night was the first meeting of the women's support group that has helped me so much after a long hiatus. To be welcomed back by so many open arms just made me glow. It feels good to belong and have friends to turn to.

Today I walked for about 35-40 minutes. It felt great. there's more, like I painted and listened to music. there's more but that's good for now.

i'm grateful that i seem to have found a gp working out of a clinic that i feel relatively comfortable with. she let me ramble on (rather a lot) which meant something to me. and coped okay with a bit of agitation... like how i get sometimes. she seems to... understand me, fairly well. so that's pretty good. a little finishing each others sentences... she said the hardest thing might be... pediatrics. all the babies crying because they wanted to be picked up and held. i was surprised. like... oh. i've been thinking about that since... harry harlow's monkeys... i've never held a baby. i don't know how i'd feel.
it might be alright. i bet it is worse later, when you have to deal with kids who obviously don't like their overbearing / invasive mothers. i'd imagine that to be worse. i... i don't know that i'd feel overwhelmed by a clingy baby... because it wouldn't be 24/7...
maybe she meant more... the fact that they were. being confronted with that. like how the monkey pictures... got me for days. how would it be working in the lab. being confronted with it daily. would i habituate? would i want to habituate? i... don't know...
anyway...
her husband is a child and adolescent p-doc. officially. she said. autistic kids... grow up... and adult services aren't trained in... don't know what to do with them.
i'm going to meet with a mental health nurse from there next week. for a chat... some social support. i could do with having a chat to someone. i... don't really chat to people these days. it isn't good for me. i start to forget how.
i don't know if they know about the assault thing... i... uh... i don't know.
court tomorrow. wish me luck.

oh... it's lost in the murky depths of a thread someplace... just leave it be (really).
i'm grateful i'll probably get diversion (by the sounds of it). which might well actually involve... some mediation between me and community mental health. the main thing i want to establish... is whether the doctor doesn't want to see me, or whether it is the nurses that have decided that i don't get to see her (it is possible that she doesn't even know that i've requested to see her). the police report says that the nurse said i could see her in a couple weeks but that she was busy right now. that i was upset about having to wait and then i hit her. that is crap. the police report says i kicked / tried to kick her too, and i did not. anyway... she told me i couldn't see anybody because i had been discharged from the service... so... she has backed down to i can see the doc if only i make an appointment? last time i asked for a doctors appointment i was informed i was discharged (i have the email records of that that i can print out).
ffs.
whatever...
i am grateful i have a nice gp now. that (it sounds like) she might possibly be able to refer me to psychiatry if that needs to be (perhaps). that i probably won't end up with a criminal record. that i have lasagne in the slow cooker... that i could be bothered to pre-cook stuff and assemble it all good. it better be good. or else...
