@PeppyPatti you can sew 🪡 paint and textile. Why aren’t you making people gifts? I want a gardening apron that tools will NOT fall out of pockets.
If I don’t have time to make people a gift, I give them an experience e.g ticket to Rottnest Island, Cinema voucher, Paintball, Timezone, Outdack Splash indoor rock climbing blah blah blah
More hugs 🤗

Hey @Glisten
My weekend is going pretty well. I'm preparing for a job interview this Wednesday. It's for a peer worker role, so I went to Safe Haven last night and asked the peer workers there some questions as well as having a chat to them. Overall, I'm pretty excited about the interview. Thanks for asking.
I too like what you were saying about the next adventure being just around the corner.

@Ainjoule That right there. The one on one research you did last night. Perfect 👌🏼
You can’t get shot for asking.
That’s what I mean about adventure. Learning is lifelong. Curiosity leads to undiscovered roads.
It could start with “Are you still collecting hay bales? I’m coming with you.”
Life will continue. Whether you like it or not. It’s up to each of us when we and how we participate.
So @Ainjoule what happens when you get this job?

Thank you @Glisten
It will be interesting if I do manage to get this job. I do volunteer work and I sit on committee's but I haven't had a proper job in nearly 15 years. So it will definitely be an adventure. I hope that I can bring with me a sense of optimism for people. I have been to some dark places from which I didn't believe recovery was possible but here I am. So I hope to hold that hope for people until they can feel it themselves.

@Ainjoule I haven’t had paid employment since 2019. It feels like an eternity. I can’t imagine what 15 years would be like. You sound ready and prepared. No hesitation.
This is your jam.
Very cool 😎

I know. Cleaning products as gifts just doesn't cut it when talking about experiences. I think if I twas a more useful person.....no comparing here I say --
Ide get that up something thing you can get in Perth where you get chucked in the air and you have an experience of walking on the moon.
I'm resting in bed.
Perhaps we that's @Ainjoule @Glisten @Bill16 @Bunniekins @Appleblossom @TAB @ENKELI can mow the lawn and see a quilt up whilst bouncing on a trampoline for an experience ?

Isn't it scary when you open your mouth to a dentist and he/she starts saying " okay let's sit down over here together to talking about a long term plan timetable on fixing your teeth ??
