I heard a new birdsong this morning. This beauty and a friend were in our flowering gum.
I think they are rainbow lorikeets. Regardless they are stunning.
I baked a loaf of bread and a batch of biscuits. I added some ginger and spice to the mix. They have an interesting bit of heat. Himself loves them which means I will be baking again soon!
I removed myself as admin from the craft group. I shall go tomorrow and then decide on a day by day basis. Himself told me to step back. I agree.
Angela suggested I go along to her knitting group. I might just try that. It's always a challenge to walk into a group of people who know one another but I know her face!
I try to please all of the people all of the time. I realise that with some people you can please none of them none of the time. I have soothed ruffled feathers. I have stood up for those who have been spoken about badly. I can't do this anymore and nor do I want to. The final straw was pathetic bleating by one person who didn't want to share her birthday with a belated celebration for someone else.
I quit the psychologist. She lacked empathy. She didn't listen properly and just doled out advice. I told her I lacked purpose in my life. She told me to plan a holiday.
Sorry for the whinge. It's been one of those days weeks months.
Anyone would think it was Winter.
I’m glad you have left that psychologist. She doesn’t seem to be interested in helping anyone
ReplyDeleteI’m very glad you are thinking of coming next Wednesday
I look forward to seeing you there. They’re a lovely bunch of ladies
Thanks, Angela.
DeleteIt will be nice to meet new people.
They are indeed rainbow lorikeets. Quite noisy.

It sounds like you did the right thing on both counts by ditching what did not please you. Empathy should be the first thing you hear from a psychologist.
Andrew, sometimes it takes me a while to wake up to the bleeding obvious!
DeleteThey're not as bad as the cockatoos and bloody minahs!
What a beatiful bird.
ReplyDeleteA holiday? That was her answer? Wow. Not really helpful. We all need purpose in our lives, otherwise, what's the point? You'll find your's.
Thanks, Pixie. It took me a while to realise that wasn't the answer because, well, she's supposed to know what she's doing.
DeleteBeautiful birds, even though Andrew said they were noisy. A holiday, a person has to come back to life at home afterwards. Not a very good solution given by your psychologist.
ReplyDeleteYour baking sounds yummy, enjoy.
Pat, they are indeed noisy but not unpleasant. Maybe a flock would be different.
DeleteI hardly ever bake, only if the boys are coming to stay. My blood sugar needs preserving (diabetes was knocking on the door!!). I also lack a purpose in life so will now just idle around the country in my motorhome. Still no purpose but more enjoyable that sitting idle :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the baking but don't feel the need to eat the results. Himself and various kids and grandkids enjoy them.
DeleteI'm not sure what I'm looking for in life. I am happy with my lot but feel something is missing. Planning a holiday ain't the answer! Unless I could move to NZ!
