Flicker’s Lair Blog

It has been a good week, I am having better days and I have hope. It is nearly Spring, we know this because our birds are telling us. The other day we had 7 chicken eggs and on different days found three duck eggs!

I have been trying to give myself a break, taking some time out to relax, this has meant I missed a couple of days blogging this week, but I figure you can forgive me. After much love and support from my sister and some very special friends I am feeling better, and have hope that I can beat this. They helped me see that taking medication is not a sign of weakness, but rather using the tools available to help me get back to being me. I have been back to my doctor and started taking medication.

I read this very interesting blog post this week – No Diving! – which got me thinking about how much energy I am expending and where it is going. Perhaps a little gentle ‘cleaning’ wouldn’t hurt.

The week was finished off in the best possible style, my Dad came for the weekend and we went to two book sales. I came home having spent $17 and with 21 new-to-me books. I even bought two for Steve!

We also enjoyed a little time out, it was like a mini holiday and I think it did both of us a power of good. Thanks Dad.
