I'm sorry about the gliche @Eve7
I'm happy to hear you're getting there 💕
Argh covid is a nightmare isn't it.

Yes, covid is a nightmare @Anastasia and I think we're going to be stuck with it for a while yet.
I'm sorry about your Dad not improving and that you can't visit him but I'm pleased your boy has been ok today
I suppose you're working from home again and I wish I was but my boss has sent me some work to do which I am really glad about as it means they haven't given up on me yet.
You are such a precious lady and I am really glad to have met you here. I see how you've been helping so many people in your new role. You're a real champion. xox

I think so too @Eve7 sadly. Our new way of life 😔
Aww @Eve7 don't really feel like I'm doing much but I appreciate your kind words. I am so blessed to have met you here too.
Yes I am working from home all week. I've been to a hot spot area but not an actual venue so lying low in the hope where I went doesn't surface 🤞
That is wonderful that you are able to work from home Eve. Of course your boss hasn't given up on you. He sees what we all see 💞

Thanks @Anastasia . I am still in hospital and my boss sent some work here. I was hoping someone else would have finished it by now but, no, it's mine to finish.
I just read an interesting article on the SANE website about Open Dialog and how it decreases hospitalisation and meds when its used effectively. It is similar to what my pdoc uses and I think its why she didn't want me going to the private clinic.
When I was there before I thought some people treated it like a resort and they seemed to all know each other from previous stays.I know it sounds funny but truly they were all dressing up for dinner each night as if they were at The Ritz, complete with their pearls and diamond rings. My pdoc says I'll be out much sooner from the public hospital.
Of course it's quite eye opening here too but I have my own room and I'm classed as a private patient so we'll see. Hopefully I'll be out on Friday.
Sorry for rambling on about me tonight. I know you're pooped so please don't feel you have to stay. I just like knowing you and Em are around. xox

Gosh I didn't realise you were working in hospital!!! See you are much needed and valuable. Just do what you can though. Take care of YOU @Eve7
Ohhhh, I will take a look thank you. I don't know about Open dialog. I'm gathering it's not on offer at the private clinic?
What you say about all knowing each other etc, yes it's sounds familiar here as well. Quite often my boy crosses paths with the "usual suspects". One of the reasons why I try not to divulge too much about him. It can be a small world. I remember his first admission ignorantly thinking that would "fix" him. Seems like a life time ago now. Pearls and diamond rings haha, I can bearly do my hair even on a good day!!! I really hope you can be out by Friday Eve 🤞
Please don't apologise I'm always here for you. You are extremely special to me Eve 💞

This pdoc I have now doesn't go to any of the private hospitals here. Yes, we have to be very careful what we say and sometimes I change days around when talking about what has happened. Some people are very perceptive at picking up on things @Anastasia
I just have to complete a plan that I started as its required for a meeting so I won't be taking too long on it.
I am about to turn out the light and pack up ready for the land of nod. Thanks for keeping me company. Take care my precious friend.
