I’ll be quiet here for a bit. Had something happen in the past week. Seeking professional support assistance.

I put myself out there as a Justice of the Peace (JP) for a number of communities. I’m human and it’s not without significant personal impact on me.

Happy “whamageggen” to all those who celebrate.

I'm human, I volunteer as a justice of the peace (JP), something happened this morning, and I'm hoping the council I was volunteering for has a volunteer equivalent EAP.

Struggling to manage my pain, utter complete exhaustion layered with extreme fatigue. Well beyond tears on the pain scale.

This is a multi day flare up.

My body is being a jerk, it’s freaking out my medical team and I.

So I've finally been able to download my first ever #NDIS forplan from myndisportal.

The plan has been written and funded as per the meeting.

Absolutely life changingg.

I have a complicated few days ahead. I’m already having unhelpful trauma/ptsd flash backs. Critical (crunch point) is Saturday afternoon/night. I may or may not post/share, focused on pure survival…

I'm trying to find a new #GP in the North Eastern Suburbs of #Adelaide I'm a disability support pensioner with a unique history/case mix. Multiple doctors/specialists say I'm a career standout patient (probably not a good thing) The cost to "interview" to check compatibility...

Only ever had HFC/FTTN @NBN_Australia until a few days ago when I upgraded to "full fibre" #FTTP the low latency of fibre is amazing, the additional speed to handy, but the responsiveness of #EVERYTHING# is impressive. Finally giving my full @Ubiquiti #UNIFI #UDMPRO a solid workout!

Got myself stuck in a shopping centre/area I’m not familiar with. Managed to get some over the counter support from a pharmacy but yikes…

Had someone recently mention in relation to personal energy/capacity “I’m running on fumes” my only thought of what comes next? I’m not running on fumes I’m looonnnggggg past that!

Took a decent tumble in the early hours of yesterday morning, I've got to find a better way of falling if that's what I'm going to keep doing. I can't sit right now due to pain, it's a pain in the arse! (literally!)

Starting to understand why I'm so mentally and physically beyond exhausted. Month to date, I've driven 1324.7km, not including taxis, plus the two hire-by-the-hour larger vehicles I've used. Ultimate juggling act with chronic health issues, which are made worse by "overdoing it" 1/

Anyone else a Desky fan?

I’ve ordered a few samples to physically help me work out what to order.

The far left is “Finish: Pheasant” the rest should be fairly clear.

The decision fatigue is real, big few weeks ahead!
