It is all do-a-ble @Kurra.
Short term perhaps!
I think keeping busy is good, as long as occupation doesn't become too heavy or bogged down.😊

Hello everyone. I had yesterday off work. I lay low - mostly watched tv but I did do the dishes and a load of washing. I also bought pretty flowers on tuesday arvo which I've really enjoyed watering and looking at. They so beautiful - I got some gardenias, pink geranium and pots of colour. They're meant to be kept in full sun but after yesterday in the qld 'full sun' some of the flowers look a bit burnt and wilting. I'm going to have to learn more about this gardening thing.

Today I'm at work - got out of the office and caught up with a friend on my lunch break which made me feel a bit brighter. He's been through similar thing to me (going to hospital) and managing mental illness so it's always nice to catch up and check in with each other.

It is @Former-Member and I've finished up in that particular job. I've got the next 4 days off! Woohoo! Start new job on Tuesday. They say variety is the spice of life. .....

Hi Shaz51
I've had a good day although I got a bit weepy driving away from that work site today. It's an idyllic spot and I will certainly miss it.

However onward and upward - I'm looking forward to the new position and a new challenge. It was suggested I go back to uni for a couple of years (well 4 part-time ). I'll think about it. I love learning so it's worth considering seriously. Right now though I'm looking forward to a few days off. It's just a pity it's so cold. 🎶💕🎶

@kdoll. For newly purchased plants - in pots - place them in morning sun and afternoon shade. This will get the plants used to sun. Quite often growers grow and keep the plants in partial shade - keeps them looking good for buyers.
Slowly you can move the plants into being in the sun for longer hours.
I usually do this with new plants for about 2 weeks before I plant them in their forever home in the garden.
Keep going with gardening. The best thing to do is go for a walk around your neighborhood early morning or after work. See which gardens you like and strike up a conversation with the homeowner. They love to share garden tips with new growers - especially what works best in your area

@utopia Thank you for the gardening tips. We had some rain yesterday which has made the flowers perk up a lot. I have a good spot which gets morning sun and afternoon shade so I will move the flowers to there when I get home from work.

@kdoll. Power outage at my town in Victoria. Oh well. More time to read instead of vacuuming. What a pity. Lol. Glad I have gas for heating cooking and hot water.
Think I might jump in the shower and then take the dogs for a walk.

@Former-Member, looking for you, where you at? Are you riding the waves a bit better?
