FINALLY, SOME RESPITE! I had yet another interview at Social Security today for a job capacity assessment. This time, I got someone who knew what she was doing, and who has decided they will leave me alone for a further nine months to recover. I nearly cried with relief. I still have to put in reporting forms and medical certificates but only every 3 months instead of fortnightly. Why this hasn’t happened before now I cannot comprehend, but it doesn’t matter … that there is one huge stress lifted from my life. I felt so much lighter today.
Still haven’t heard from my surgeon about the results of the tests. I’m deciding to think along the lines of no news is good news.
Yes, a date with an artist … ME. An artists date with myself (and Annie tagging along). Op-shopping for old bags to make into usable textile works of art, and a related book and lots of funky yarns. A total creative buzz happening. Ideas pinging in my head. I’m buggered, totally buggered, still, but oh I can sleep in tomorrow.
I can’t believe I am using this place for just daily reportings of what I am doing. How incredibly self absorbed and boring. I would that I could get back to the previous place of sharing wonders and talk of important matters … maybe that will be revived along the way.
Yesterday, I had “The Sound of Silence” running through my head. Simon & Garfunkel are in Sydney in June. I need to win lotto so I can go 🙁
Wow, great news!! And your site is looking excellent.
Having the pressure of constantly having to report in taken away from you must make you feel so much better. Great to hear things are going in a positive direction for you, you definitely deserve it!
Try not to worry so much about making every single blog post all deep and profound and “perfect”, lol! It’s great to hear from you, and any thoughts like those will come to you when they come to you.
Say hi to the artist in your head from me!
Hey Shiv!!!! Good to see you here 🙂
The artist in my head is coming alive again and is somehow freer than before.
And, pure coincidence? or synchronicity? Whatever … I reacquainted myself with my green ‘touch stone’ just the last few days as well.
Hey I just recently acquired PS CS4 extended. Am going to try and make the move from PSP to PS … will have to do a lot of online tuts to transfer my knowledge of ‘where’ the everything I already know how to do on PSP is, if you get my drift. I don’t get my drift. I’m ready for sleep, and I’ve had two heavy duty pain killers. Happy land 🙂
I’m confusing, The Muddle-Headed Wombat, and I need a gravitas gravitar heh!
I love this entry … all over the place and full of life!
Carson McCullers … oh man. She was 23 when she wrote “Heart is a Lonely Hunter.” 23!!!
Horay for positive movement. Freeing that inner artist will rejuvenate you and then release more of a desire to create. A wondrous circularity, I think.
I am also glad that you do not have to check for a while. Merely relieving that one stressor I am sure, relieves many areas of stress.
I have Heart is a Lonely Hunter next to the bed right now as well, but picked up Henry and June last night. Ugh. The piles of books I have to read. They are moving into the realm of being obscene.
I hope you creative energies serve you well, and you them
hugs,
