Oscillation between two mind sets

[Zoe7]

Hey @creative_writer It's been a few days so checking in on you Hon ❤️

[creative_writer]

Hi @Zoe7, life hasn’t been perfect but I’m doing okay right now. How have you been? 💖

[Zoe7]

I am glad to hear you are doing okay for now but suspect you are just getting by Hon. Sending you a whole bunch of love @creative_writer ❤️

Mentally I am okay, physically still not good. I am not allowed back fulltime for the rest of this year and that is going to be hard because I love my kids 😢 I can't physically do it though so I will need to work around it the best I can.

@Zoe7, I had auras today, but the pain isn’t so bad as it could be. The auras have probably been worse today than they have been for a while. I am lucky it doesn’t last long till my eyesight is back to normal.

I feel you about wanting to do more than you can but being limited by health. It’s tough, but it’s okay to go easier on ourselves. Sending you lots of love and hugs 💖🫂

[Zoe7]

Oh @creative_writer that is not good. I am glad the pain isn't really bad but I am sure it is enough for you to have to deal with. I do hope you are okay and have your eyesight back to normal by now. Hugs and hugs Hon ❤️

You are right - I want to do more but am so restricted. I do little things like bend to pick something up, forgetting that is not good for me, and usually realise that when I try to stand up again!!!! My kids are like little sheep though - more often than not they have already done what is needed before I can even think about it. We have already started to clean out our room so when it is time for me to move, everything is packed up ready to go. As I can't move anything, I will be relying on others to do that for me - and that is going to be so hard.

@Zoe7, your kids sound amazing 😃. Though sometimes it hard to step back and let others help. You deserve all that love and help in the world. I hope the pain wasn’t too bad today 💖🫂.

My eyesight was okay today. Did manage to get a migraine still, I may have delayed dinner a bit and didn’t eat my afternoon snack till later since I had a full day. I’ll be working from home Tom and then going back in on Friday. The one hour travelling one way can be exhausting

[Zoe7]

Yeah travelling can be exhausting @creative_writer but it is good you can do some of your work from home.

I had a great morning with the kids - we are making pom poms and spent the entire morning doing that. I wish I could show you some of their creations - super cute.

I have finally booked in for my injection - after playing phone tag for the last 2 days. The department won't cover it but my health insurance will - my case manager said not to get it done until we find out more from the independent assesment but I am not waiting. It will be at no cost to the department but a massive help to me.

@Zoe7, I have to go tom for a presentation 😬. So I have that to look forward to.

Making poms poms sounds nice. I would’ve loved to see them. How many kids do you have?

I hope it works out okay with your health, hon. Pain is very hard 💖🫂

25 kids in our class @creative_writer They made sooooo much mess but then it was like the cleaning fairy waved her magic wand and in minutes the room was clean. Two of my boys even got the vacuum cleaner out (I have a spare one in the clasroom). We have a rule in our class - if you make the mess you clean it up (and that applies to me also). My kids are so beautiful though that they help each other.

Booked in Monday for my injection so hoping that will get rid of the pain.

How did your presentation go?

[creative_writer]

@Zoe7, that is a lot of kids in the class. Though it’s probably typical to have that many kids. I don’t think I could be a teacher, I would get too much sensory overload, ASD brain. It is amazing when teachers manage it, it’s a hard job, and it’s a bonus if one enjoys it. I’m sure you’re an amazing teacher.

I hope the Monday appointment goes okay.

It was more of a run through. I only presented in front of one of the social workers, I’ll be presenting to a larger group next week
