Re: Tabaluga's
@Oaktree You have every reason to be sad. I feel sad for you. Will you get another opportunity?

Re: Tabaluga's
@SmilingGecko Wow you are having a yummy and productive day. I finished yesterday’s Maca Ice Latte for breakfast, pretty darn good.
I’m going to wander down stairs for a heart starter aka motivation in a cup.

Re: Tabaluga's
Hello @Glisten I don't know how I keep going the meds really slow me down. @TAB suggested I talk to shrink about lowering dosage. But the meds keep me stable and knock me out at night. So its not something I could possibly do easily. Yes cuppa sounds like a good idea, motivation in a cup! I think I may borrow that idea from you ❤️ What are you doing today? I have been on The Magic of Tidying thread and my kitchen looks less like a Hiroshima atomic bomb site. Still got to clean the sink, wipe surfaces and clean the stovetop and I'm on top of my cleaning.

Re: Tabaluga's
hmm , no hadnt thought of that re dec prepping for 2024 @Glisten .
However, I am about to sign up for cert IV TAE ..(again) started it with Tafe in WA 2 years ago. now all units and numbers have changed , so cannot get credit for the 2 units I did. That was for fun apparently lol.
So. course starts late Feb, its 1 day a fortnight in Adelaide which is do-able and should finish by this time next year lol .
Also I should be able to get a concession price ot $1500 vs around $5000 full price.
Should have have added benefit of keeping DES off my back as well..
..and .. if I enroll in next 2 weeks keep 2023 price of 1500 , if after that its nearly $1800 so all good.

Re: Tabaluga's
Never heard of that course. The full price seems astronomical @TAB Well at least you get a discount. I'm still lumped with a HECS debt from 30 years ago which I think they index. Good luck with it, it will get you out of the house and meeting other folk. You never know what good fortune may come into your life.

Re: Tabaluga's
@SmilingGecko Sleep is the most IMPORTANT thing for our brain health. The other things are a workaround.
What natural things have you incorporated during the day to boost yourself?
B vitamins, Maca powder & good quality green tea in a morning smoothie and going for a fast walk? - Great for energy and brain without caffeine.
A piccolo coffee and going for a run? - Fast response caffeine rush might give you the shakes.
The more you move your body the better. Movement & exercise pushes medication through your body. It’s been proven and incorporated into cancer treatment.
I have the reverse of your problem. I can barely get out of bed without my medication.

Re: Tabaluga's
No @TAB I can’t just go on respite any time. It’s with an organisation and respites are arranged well in advance. My next respite isn’t until February.
