    No idea where I got Tuesday from :o Once you know the bed is available and you're on the ward maybe you'll feel a bit more rested and less anxious. In an odd sort of way being there might help because the staff are in charge and will be doing the meds, the thinking and helping with the decision making.

    Please don't stop posting if it helps to get things off your chest and keep you on track with what you want to do. And your diary is definitely not boring :) xx

    I hope the coming week goes well xx

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    Thank you all for the lovely replies X

    Finally got done as much as I can tonight and having a cuppa and heading to bed.

    Need to fit in baking DS's birthday cake this week. Along with making banners and things. He wants pizza for his birthday dinner so need to make those too.

    Hope you get some good rest Wannabe. Your diary is never boring. Often writing, or typing things down, help to clarify things in the mind. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.

    Thinking of you and hoping there is a bed free this morning.

    If your diary was boring people wouldn’t keep returning to support you and cheer you on ;)

    Could you make the banners & things at the hospital? It might help to while away the hours.
