Thanks @RiverSeal
@that’s cool. I looked into that ages ago but it wasn’t available in my area.
what other courses have you done?

It's getting more popular, so it might come up in the future @Bow
I've also studied an Intorduction to the NDIS, Cert IV in Community Services, Cert IV in AOD, Diploma of Community Services, and Recognising and Responding to Sexual Violence.
I'm ready for a break after 8 years of mostly part time study!

It’s another week 😩 another week to exist through.
my SW came to visit today. She didn’t really ask how I was. Just asked how my weekend was and we talked… I mostly listened about church life.
I did show her the new communication cards that I added to my collection. She wanted to talk through them. Like what each card meant. How I maybe presenting/ experiencing and what I might need for each one.
I did a bit more painting.

Yep always challenging reaching out for help and for it to be a waste of time @rav3n
I don’t know. Don’t think it’s wise to talk. Might get in trouble. So maybe distraction?
just sitting in bed. Waiting for D to go to bed. Just had some kitten time, they now in their playpen eating supper. Squeezing mr sloth.
I was painting today @rav3n sitting on a stool, tub of paint in hand and I had let the kittens out for a while. They were mostly in the room next to me exploring. Next minute one of them had launched themselves at my back, claws in. Scared the crap out of me, hurt of cause… and my tub of paint… spilt down the front of me and on the floor. 😩😤
