Hello out there. Is anyone there? The vagaries of writing online are apparent at the moment. Not many people reading.
It's a sunny Sunday morning in mid spring. I'm listening to Tosca and just started a new book. "A Cheese-monger's History of the British Isles" which is rather fun.
I'm at the end of my ten day break. Dad and I returned from our trip away on Friday. As ever with the two of us together the odd calamity occurred but we made it.
Switching off from work sadly was not so easy. Calls when in holiday really shouldn't happen but they did.
Mentally I remain tormented by dreams, anxiety fills my days and nights but my mood remains relatively steady.
I have a psychology appointment on 6th May. We will see what if anything that brings. That I need the help has been clear for several months. Recently completing GAD 7 and PHQ 9 I was not at all surprised my anxiety is almost off the scale. What shocked me was just how depressed I am on the scale.
What I should do is boost my medication and take some time away. But that comes at a price. It's hard enough trying to keep on top of things anyway, going off just stores up more problems for the future.
Back in my kitchen the adventures go on. Today roast chicken thighs smothered in herbed butter with thyme, tarragon and parsley, new potatoes, asparagus, carrots and savoy cabbage. Might have a glass of Picpoul de Pinet with it. Tomorrow roast beef for the Easter delayed St George's Day.
Stay out there and be kind to yourselves.
I Heard a Voice.
