Hello @Former-Member I wish I know you in real life too, I would value your friendship and knowledge and would thoroughly love meeting up with you.
Oh well let it be known you are a great friend anyways.
Funnily enough I have a tattoo of a velvet gecko on my back.
I'm sorry to hear about the impact of those meds. Mine take a huge toll as well and I very rarely feel joy. Just constant numbness to be honest... Minimal ups and downs which I believe is a normal part of life and a lot of side effects.
Must work on auras and chakras.
So impressed with your walking efforts. Must make sure I have some hands on contact with the earthing mat.
Have a nice evening 🌹 🌹🌹 smiling gecko.

Thanks @Former-Member you sound like a wild lady with that lovely tattoo on your back! Its getting late but I will see you around the forums maybe tomorrow. I'm just in from another walk an hour ago. I used to feel very numbed out on psych meds. The med I'm on now is very well tolerated except for weight gain and diabetes. But I don't feel numbed. Yes put your skin on the earthing mat as much as you can and the weight will go down! 🙂

Been out for my morning W.A.L.K. and prior to that fasting blood glucose was 5.8. My diabetes educator wants it lower. Don't speak to her until week after next. But the weight is still coming off. Lost 17% of bodyweight so far. Will do more tidying today. Yesterday tossed out recyclables. Lots of boxes as well as waste from my kitchen skip. May target laundry today as there are clothes on the floor. Probably should be under the thread the magic of tidying but I appreciate folks on here motivating me anyway. Its great having group encouragement when you are all by yourself.

Have a fantastic day!
@Former-Member I think you are right with the astrological stuff at the moment with people being triggered by things as it’s happening to me and I’m not very happy about it. My education manager from my mental health course called me earlier and asked about my enrolment as he thinks I might not be a me to complete my course due to being sick over the past few months. I told him I’ll get the paperwork completed for practical placement done by the end of next week and go from there. To be honest, I’m just completing the course as I’m halfway through it with previous credits for some subjects from another Tafe and just want to get the certificate in the end. I’m not even sure I want to go into mental health as a worker anymore so I’m just going through the motions of getting the course completed and hoping for the best. The so called jobs that the Victorian government said would happen in the area of mental health haven’t really emerged as you need to be qualified in order to get the jobs but that requires 80 hours at least of practical experience in a placement role with an organisation and not many organisations are doing this with some using the old COVID-19 line as a reason not to take students. I’m just over it to be honest! Sorry about the rant!
@Appleblossom as for card games, my Dad tried to teach my sister and I to play Euche as a child but I could never really understand it- I’m more of a Uno type card player with the odd game of Solitaire on my phone in the mix. I do love Monopoly but rarely get a chance to play it as my housemate isn’t really into it. I also enjoy trivia so watching the Chase on TV is good for me.
As I’m feeling a little stressed (my sister is going okay with her COVID-19 illness and she thinks it’s more like a bout of the flu so she’s doing okay which is good) and an old landlord has scheduled a Vcat hearing on 1/5 trying to claim our bond with the old property manager lying on the application saying we lived there for an extra 3 months and wanting compensation when we didn’t and wanting extra money (around $5000), I’m going to deal with all of this by hibernating in my knitting and working on a project. I’m just so over things right now! When the going gets tough, this girl resorts to her knitting needles to solve her troubles!
Take care!

@Judi9877 The sun and moon behaves differently during eclipses, Its a time for resting, opening & allowing. Eclipses are fated times. Its good not to do anything, not to make decisions, not to manifest.
Just rest & be in the dark so to speak. Allow a shift in consciousness, and get ready to be accelerated. You can also expect a barrage of psychosomatic issues as the body processes and works through this energy.
