Hi everyone. My name is @heartathome. I'm still finding my way around here and just happened to come across the coffee chat. What a wonderful idea! I went to a mental health hub today and met up with some people there. I'm listening to my favourite music and am feeling okay! 😊 I'm a bit coffee'd out atm but I'll have a de-caf with you! ❤️

Hey @heartathome, it's lovely to meet you 🙂. It's great you went to a mental health hub and met up with some people there, I hope you enjoyed it 🩵. Glad to hear you are feeling ok, have you got any plans for the rest of the afternoon?

Hi @RebelliousAngel Nice meeting you too! Getting out any day is a good day. My unit is VERY small! My plans this afternoon are planned around the computer. Being here, on Facebook, Sudoku, Mahjong, and resources from the last mental health conference. I'm busy so I'm good! We had a barbeque at the hub today and I took an elderly lady for a drive out there. I really like to talk to people every day, but my circumstances don't always give me that opportunity. I guess I'm a people person, but I do like my own space as well. Thank you for reaching out!😊

@heartathome sorry for the very delayed response, I had typed out a message but forgot to hit send then my phone had a temper tantrum and well the rest is history 🤣.
Sounds like very busy times but good things happening for you. Hope you enjoyed the afternoon especially the sudoku and mahjong, they are both alot of fun. The barbecue sounds great and it's so nice of you to take an elderly lady for a drive out there 🙂. I'm not too much of a people person as I struggle to hold a conversation with anyone so any socialising for me is kept at a minimum although sometimes situations like that are unavoidable for me. Taking time for myself where I can be in my own space and become one with my lounge are required for me to recharge 🙂.

@RebelliousAngel Don't worry about the delayed message! I'm just glad you're on here and I can talk to you. Do you have any animals? I find they are easier to talk to! 😊

@heartathome I'm always up for a chat 🙂. I do have animals and you are right they are easy to talk to, they never judge and don't argue back 🤣.
How are you feeling today, have you got any plans for the day?

Hey @RebelliousAngel I'm back! I just finished at the Opp shop, and I asked a friend over for a cuppa. That's a big thing for me and I did it! Better still, they came over and had 2 cups of tea! Now I'm listening to my music and chilling out here. How's your day been so far? ☺️

Hey @heartathome, did you find any goodies at the op shop? Well done for asking a friend over for a cuppa, sounds like a good time 🙂. Listening to music and chilling out sounds perfect. My days been alright apart from a nasty headache, I'm about to tackle the shops.

@RebelliousAngel You just reminded me that I need to go to the shop as well. I don't like crowds of people. I'll have to put my blinkers on, like what they put on a horse. 😆 Sorry about the headache! Do you get many? They're not nice! I had a constant headache for 4 months a few years ago. I tried everything I knew to get rid of it. It ended up being a lack of sleep! My psychiatrist picked it up. I would never have thought that. I sleep pretty well these days, but it's always broken. I used to get up and eat each time I woke up and put on 20kg! I got it off again, for now. 😉 I did find a few little treasures for my 5-year-old friend at the Opp shop! I wish I knew how to attach a photo! I could take a photo of the treasure. I'd also love to share my son's dog somewhere on here. I'm the dog's mum. I'm sure I'll figure it out soon enough! ☺️Are you cooking tonight? Do you like cooking? I hope you can put your feet up and get rid of the headache soon! Sending warm vibes
