Good morning. What are your plans for today?

I’m taking a sick day, a “mental health day”. I don’t feel well so I’m skipping my appointment and shopping and just doing nothing. What are you doing?

I have to bathe and do some chores this morning, then this afternoon I have an appointment to get my hearing aids! I’m pretty excited.

Morning leaf. Hope you have a good day.

I’m taking a mental health day too. Woke up with voices. If I’m feeling up to it later I may try to shower. But I don’t have a whole lot going on.

@Ooorgle I hope you have a good day too. Sorry you have voices. The shower used to always trigger mine so I take baths. Now I just like baths better.

@shellys12 it’s great the train is getting easier. What type of volunteer work do you do? I’m glad you’re getting over your cold.

Im gonna have a nice hot soak in the bath, with a bit of dettol, finished off with johnsons baby powder. And prat around on the internet till im going to bed at 9.30 ish. The shrink kindly gave me a months worth of 25mg Serqoul today, so any anxiety - and ill pop a couple extra ontop of my 300mg.

Ive whacked the heating up - sod the cost, cos ive just paid it!, im cold. And maybe bung some tunes on later.

Not exciting i know - but i aim to have a relaxing evening, not worrying about anything and to chill out in my dressing gown.

@Ooorgle Just leave the fan off, sometimes that causes voices too.

I am tasked with watching my two energy filled kids, so far they are destroying everything in sight ha.

I have a phone interview I am supposed to have some time today, hopefully my sister or brother can relieve me of my duties temporarily so I can concentrate on that and do a good job. I’m pretty nervous, this is only my second interview since having been diagnosed with schizophrenia 2 and a half years ago.

My daughter really wants to watch Frozen 2, that may be in the plans for today, depends on when I get called for that interview, I don’t know how much I really want to watch it though, maybe it won’t be that bad.

@brandotron Sounds like the kids need a directed activity Dad. Get them going on an art project like making turkey hands or some other Thanksgiving themed crafts project depending on your supplies. You can do a quick internet search to find some. Good luck with your interview, what job is it for?

I had appointments to check on my heart this morning. Now I’m wearing a heart monitor for the next 24 hours. It looks like I’m wearing a diabetes pump. Now I have to do designs for my visual communications class.

@Naarai It’s wonderful. Frankly not enough men take care of themselves this way. It makes me happy to hear.
