Friends, are hard to fit in

just doing the others fills up my time @Peonies , @outlander , @Former-Member 

[Peonies]

Outings are nice 🌻 🌱 @Shaz51  Sometimes it's good to have a change in scenary (even if it means just going to the backyard for a picnic 🌞)

I rely on my phone calendar but feel that I am  becoming disorganised.

[Shaz51]

yes @Former-Member , @Peonies  feel that I am getting a becoming disorganised. when things happen which throws out the plan 

[Former-Member]

Friends are important to me as I do not have family close to where I live.

@outlander @Former-Member Sounds like we've got some amazing organisers amongst ourselves here! 
@Former-Member I use my phone calendar to set reminders of doctors/psychologist appointments (I find it helpful as all of the apointments are via telehealth at the moment). 

[Shaz51]

i use the wall calendar @Peonies , @Former-Member 

and mr shaz says are we doing all that this week !!!!

[Peonies]

I can totally relate to that @Shaz51 -  It can feel overwhelming when things do not happen according to how we have planned. I find it helpful to take a step back for 5 minutes, say to myself "that's alright! I just need to reorganise a few things around. It's do-able! " and then focus my energy on what I know and can control and do

We did use a calendar and it was working well but Mr Darcy kept putting it away. He has all his appointments on torn off bits of paper or appointment cards in a pile on the table and he doesn't like me touching them.

say to myself "that's alright! I just need to reorganise a few things around. It's do-able! " and then focus my energy on what I know and can control and do , Yes @Peonies , I have crossed things off and rebooked every week 

and even cancelled things at the last minutes like dinners etc 

like tonight i went to give mum a ring and she has the phone off the hook @Former-Member
