Does anyone here have a recommendation a psychologist in the Monash Council area?
GP is happy to give me a referral but needs a name.
I need help with stress, anxiety & depression. Trying to avoid meds if possible. Need to get on top of this.
Thanks for anything & everything.
I have not cooked a roast anything in many, many years. But tonight WE ROAST!
Chicken is the beast of choice! With roast veg, cauliflower & cheese and peas.
I’m a boring, basic cook at best so this could go either way…
Aww! poor girl! I bet the relief you felt when you got her back was intense. Sounds like the rainy weather kept her close.
My girl just bolted. When she jumped the fence my heart dropped. We’re close to Scotchmans Creek and the foxes there that have been known to attack cats. She’s not much of a climber inside so seeing that just told me how panicked she was. Or determined.
Since she’s been back inside she’s had some bonus treats and resumed sitting in her favorite spot by the window.
My indoor cat just dashed through the door as I was going out. First time she has done this. I only adopted her almost a month.
Panic!
She jumped my fence which borders a large park. I grabbed a blanket, some food and went into the park, yelling her name but not really hopeful.
My son comes out yelling “Mum! She’s at the back door!”. He let’s her in and she bolts for a bed to hide under.
She can have all the pets and treats tonight. My heart rate is gonna take some time to recover.
NtccCat:
It’s nice to be social but I’ve had my fill for this week. Need a lot of solo time to recharge.
Today is all about finding a farm stay for a mum-&-son weekend away in a couple of months, making tteokbokki for the first time and doing the ironing.
Loving this weather. Love this type of easy, light rain.
But first: coffee!
Got to the beach with junior. Beach Rd is very busy already. Parking is being quickly claimed. So glad we got here when we did.
Promised my kid an early morning beach visit tomorrow. Can’t say I’m overly excited about it but it still should be nice to dip my toes around 7am. An hour or 2 then home to AC.
Feeling a little caged at the moment with this heat.
School pickup time and the black clouds remind me of when the Mind Flayer appears in Stranger Things.
Loving this thunder!
Even more loving that the cat I’m looking after seems to have zero fear of thunder or lightning. Just chill AF.
Cat Tax…
We have a cat in our house for the next few weeks. (Cat sitting while owner is OS).
My last cat died a few years ago when my son was just 5. He’s 8 & a half now and so so keen to care for a new cat.
Cat arrived and has been chilling in our laundry & small hallway to settle in. My son has been quietly visiting the cat. At one point he just sat in the hallway, watching Kids YT to keep our visitor company. Otherwise he quietly talks about what things he likes, his family and how he can’t wait to show the cat the rest of our house.
The cat has been slowly venturing out to have a sniff and is now bumping for pats. Still a bit skittish but definitely settling in. Son is stoked.
It is insanely cute to watch this boy be so gentle and loving.
Survived a social day. In reviewing today’s play I can only see 1 overreaction and maybe 2-3 oversharing moments.
No anxiety though which is amazing. And didn’t cause a scene (mind you, i generally tend to avoid those). Bloody exhausted though.
Thumb-sized bit of eye fillet. Well done. Spiral pasta with basil pesto. Mixed overcooked veggies.
Welcome to my end-of-term-December-CBF effort.
Seeking suggestions for a cafe, open Saturday afternoons till 5pm or later, around Greensborough or surrounding suburbs.
Catching up with bestie and wanna take her somewhere noice without deafening music but good coffee. Focus here is being able to talk freely and hear each other.
Every place I’ve checked so far closes at 2 or 3pm. And this is just a coffee (& maybe cake) catch up.
Any and all suggestions welcome. Thanks.
That wind right now is a bit nuts. I’m watching a gum tree in the park beside my house sway quite extensively side to side. It’s freaking dramatic out there.
Good luck to all SES and other response crews for the rest of the day.
And good luck all hayfever sufferers.
Finally got round to watching The Flash movie.
I am not surprised. Just disappointed. Again.
Highlights: Keaton, Kara (really well handled & great shots in costume), “Come on Barbie”.
Not even a bangin’ soundtrack.
Police helicopter circling near my kid’s school. Distracting…
In unrelated news: I have never clipped a cat’s claw before. When we adopted our void cat in February she desperately needed her claws clipped as they had curled under, almost pushing into her paw. We had them clipped at the vet and since then she has been great at using the many scratching posts we have. But I knew that if I could clip her claws it would be an added bonus.
Today, with the assistance of a treat, I did 3 claws! Just small clips and I stopped as it felt like an excellent start. No scratching or biting. One hiss but a bit of the treat helped her. Made sure not to go too low.
