Ah a well deserved sleep in @StuF Saw someone I know living in The Blue Mountains say the lightning nearly gave her a heart attack. Shes an astrologer but has a Bed & Breakfast for income. She really struggled to make a living out of astrology even though she was a second generation astrologer, but had money from her B&B with guests coming by. I notice on her substack astrology page shes got 577 subscribers so she was bringing in $7000 a month now. I was really happy for her as in the past nobody wanted to pay for her services. Seen that with another astrologer I know. Her body of work was out of this world and nobody would pay. I suppose we live on fresh air then

Good morning. Hope DES appointment went well. Enjoy time with your brother. The idea of someone coming over makes you see your mess with new eyes doesn’t it? I don’t really encourage visitors. Anyway have a great day

Hey @SmilingGecko
Was your astrologer friend ok apart from the lightning-induced heart attack? The lightning/thunder was pretty out of this world here too

She didn't have a heart attack literally but the storms shook her to the core @StuF she wrote a post this morning on Substack so I guess she was ok. I'm able to download lots of free literature. I have several books to plough through. I'm so grateful that these books have been made available free for the sake of posterity. I am really excited to advance my spiritual path with these wonderful manuals. So glad I've almost finished the book on the Japanese philosophy of Kaizen, then the Flower of Life and Saint Germain's book on Alchemy.

I figured she probably hadn't had a literal heart attack @SmilingGecko
Great that you can keep reading...I haven't completed a book in years. Used to read a lot. It's one of the things I'm interested in seeing if there is any change to that if I can successfully reduce my meds

@StuF Yes I know many people with MI can't read due to their illness or the medicines. I am aiming to spend more time listening to good pieces of literature in e-book formats on you tube to detox my brain from social media.
Don't want to get dumbed down any further having things flashing before my eyes and the amount of content designed to lower intelligence.
Reading Kaizen recently changed my outlook on life and improved my roadmap. I heard you lose 20 IQ points per day for the amount of social media you scroll through on a daily basis.
Have been coming across a lot of free literature lately on you tube which I could never afford. The local library is an infrastructure development area now and is inaccessible via bus.

Afternoon all
Had a new worker with the new place I'm going through, she seems lovely my only problem I have is that she is very quiet and cause I'm quite I need someone that can talk about anything otherwise my mind goes overboard.
A bit worried I might run into someone from the other place as they go to the same shopping centre
Been trying to not worry about the other place but my head won't cooperate
Missing the friends I had made there
@TAB hope everything goes well with your brother
Hope everything works out for you @StuF with reducing meds
@SmilingGecko @Oaktree @Meowmy @Glisten @Bill16 @ENKELI @greenpea @oceangirl @BlueBay
