heya @Captain24! I relate to this! I don't know about you, but sometimes when I'm more unwell I go for super quick meals like instant noodles or toast. I know a lot of us have that challenge ❤️
I wonder if this is something you could speak to the dietician about what you might find challenging and ways to overcome this?

My experience with dietitians…. Both my own and the ones that I have come across in the hospital, they are more than accommodating! I think a lot of people think they are just there to tell you what to eat…. give you a meal plan that you must follow. They do heaps more than that. If you tell them about the things that concern you- they will work with you. I’ve talked about values with my dietitian, we are constantly adjusting my meal plan depending where I’m at so that it feels more achievable.

I always have instant noodles in the pantry @Former-Member 😀
Thanks @Bow it’s good to know. It’s a bit of a relief actually. I thought that I’d just be told what I have to eat. Living on my own and being a shift worker I need quick easy and simple.

Hi @Captain24 @Bow !
Great to see you! Glad to hear today is a little brighter.
Instant noodles, why not?
@Captain24 , how's the diamond dots going?
@Bow , how many days to go? I've never tried accessing SANE forums overseas - not sure if you can...
Look forward to hearing from you,

@tyme I downloaded the Qantas app today and it said check in opens in 3 days!
I’d love to be able to share our trip but I have a feeling i won’t be able to access the forums overseas.

Thank you for checking in @tyme .
Sorry about the concern I caused last night. I don’t wish to go back there!
I haven’t been able to go out for a walk at all today as is raining quite heavily. I’ve been focusing on the sound of the rain on the tin roof. Still feeling ok though.
I ordered 3 more diamond art this morning. Don’t know if that counts as reckless spending! Lol. They should be here in 2 weeks. I’m really getting into it.
Hope your day has been good so far.

Hehehe @Captain24 . That's okay. You earn, you spend. You deserve it.
Btw, what do you do with the final product? Mine are sitting around my house and it's stressing me out. I feel very uncomfortable with having 'junk'. I'm a minimalist. The less the better. This is another reason why I'm not buying any more. Making them is great, but having the finished product around is stressful.
And I feel bad giving them away because to me, it's like, I've finished this - you can have it. Tell me how I can think otherwise.

I love trying new things like this!
Also, the sound of the rain is one of my favourite sounds in the whole world ❤️
