Hey @Mustang67 Great to hear from you! Sorry you're still having issues with the meds. Are you getting closer to success with them?
I still hadn't received my egg chair a month after ordering so i contacted them and like magic, it was shipped the next day. So I not have it hanging where I can sit, relax, and watch the ducks in the pool. It's still a bit messy out there... still reorganizing.
It is so nice not having to deal with those employment agencies. They seem to exist solely for the purpose of making people feel like garbage! Fortunately I had a really good consultant at the time I was diagnosed a couple of years ago and her father had been through the same thing I was facing so she was so helpful in getting me those 13week exemptions so i could focus on the treatments.
My DSP application to 6 months! Eventually I got a call saying i had an appoint with a doctor for an interview and was accepted soon after. It should say in you MyGov account what the status is with your application.
I'm doing okay. Exhausted this weekend moving a lot of stuff around so I have only just been able to get back on here catchup on not being around for a couple of days. I oped you're doing okay as well and can get some success with those meds very soon.

@MJG017 I messaged the chemist on the 8th asking them to put me back on my previous antidepressants. But since I have weekly Webster packs, they probably had already packed a couple of weeks worth.
I just emailed them again, telling them that when I come in later in the week, I need the previous medication in the pack.
So hopefully once I start to get them back in my system I will feel a lot better.
Did you send a photo through? If you did, it isn't showing. It just has a triangle in the message.
Next week I will be flat out doing a big clean out of the spare room so we can get a single bed in there.
The ex's mother is coming over for 2 weeks just before Christmas. So I would say my bad is going to be rooted by the time we have finished.
I do remember seeing one of your posts where you said that you also do like answering the phone if you don't know who it is.
I am so glad I am not alone with this. These last few weeks, I didn't even answered the phone when I did know who it is.

I sent a photo... the photo approval elves must be a little slow tonight 🙂
Hopefully its approved by now and you can see my egg chair. Edit: i just saw your next post about the photo.
Well hopefully the chemist can sort you out ASAP. It's not fair to have you feeling like this for any longer than absolutely necessary. I'll keep some fingers and toes crossed for you. I'm not sure how I'll do the toes, but I'll give it a shot for you. 😁
Well take it easy with the clean out. The last thing you need to do is aggravate your back. Is there anyone to help you, even with some of the heavier stuff? Just try to do a little bit at a time and rest your back as much as you can.
I did say somewhere that I hate talking on the phone. Esoecially if its someone I dont know. Thinking about it, its not so much that talking to someone, but ringing people that I hate. I've always felt like I'm disturbing or annoying them. If someone that i know well rings me, then ill happily talk to them for hours but with people I dont know it just feels really awkward. Luckily if my phone rings, its either my partner or someone wanting to see if I have solar panels installed. So I only answer it if the name comes up or ut says private number, because that is usually a call from the hospital or other medical place. I remember when i was still with those unemployment agencies... everytime my phone rang I felt the panic before I even looked to see who it was. They were rarely fun to deal with!
Take care. Take it easy with you back and 🤞🤞fir your chemist. Oh, did any of that premiership memorabilia arrive yet?

@Sunnyside226 Apologies for taking so long to reply. Ive been doing a major PC move this weekend and have only just got to the point of being back online. A lot still to do, but being able to use the PC again is a major step.
I'm happy that my photo brightened your day a little. It certainly does the same for me when they turn up. It can be a little stressful though as they can get separated from mum. So I have to be on gaurd to guide them back to the safety of mummy duck! Their cheeping is very unique when they've got stuck somewhere so I always can hear when there's a job for my duckling rescue service 😀
I hope you had a nice weekend. Did you get some good gaming time in?

I think having a 3D printer might be fun although probably expensive for all the stuff to print with
Its about $20-$25 for a 1kg roll of filament so its not too expensive, especially for smaller things. The cost is in the number of filaments. So many colours and varieties with all sorts of special effects. I want to get some glow in the dark filament. A bit more expensive, but seems like it would have some fun uses. A whole bunch of glow in the dark stars maybe.

How much was the 3D printer itself?
I imagine you can get them at several different price points

@Sunnyside226A weekend with no gaming is never fun. I didnt get any done either. I wouldn't say i had a good weekend, just a busy one. I probably overdid it a bit... this old body is a bit sore and sorry for itself tonight.
