It's just those feelings, uncomfortable but you can't put your finger on what it is, but somethings wrong, very wrong.

Here I come carrying a silver tray {it's Forumland and I can have a real silver tray! :)} with a fine porcelain teapot, a silver cream/milk jug and a silver sugar pot 🙂 . . . and a fancy silver coffee pot too 🙂
The Doctors and medications never helped me either, though I'm sure they tried - and in a way that helped. I don't think it means we're unhelpable; there are nearly 8 billion people and no 1 is the same as another - they just don't know how to help us. So we keep trying to help ourselves, to help each other, just to help. Those of us that feel helpless, I think sometimes we try the hardest to help . . . and in doing so we actually help ourselves.
So keep rambling on when you want to, you are helping me and my ramblings, I can hope, are helping you
Have you got anything yellow, take it with you to the Doctors, if I can slip a subliminal thought into your head, you'll feel my bony grip squeezing your hand tight every time you touch it
I'm feeling pretty good, thanks for asking. That's kind of strange really, they're doing the baiting and trapping thing here and that normally puts me into the 'hate humans' syndrome - but it's like I'm starting to accept it. My critters are doing fine, though the young fellas got his nose a bit out of joint 'cause I've locked him out of the bedroom. I'm sick of bones being chewed on my bed . . . and then the bones aren't enough so the pillows and sheets cop it too!!

Oh . . . I didn't realize the horse race that stops a nation was on today! Is it a holiday? I often miss things like that, out here in the bush - it's kind of a nice feeling 🙂
I love your dream Claire @outlander 🙂 I like to dream of every individual being accepted for who they are, not being seen as unwell simply because they don't walk the walk or talk the talk of a preconceived ideal.
I'm going to make a cup of tea now {Must stop coffee!!!!}, I'm also going to hop off the Forum for the day.
I tell you what, not only will I hold your hand at the Doctors, I'll put the other one over all there eyes, so all they see is the medical information they need to help you
Love you Claire
