What really happens in somones head?
Admission to a psych hospital and beyond; my personal depression experience.
Today I indulged in some shock therapy. D.I.Y style!! I swear the longer I work from home, the more brain cells I am losing.
My drill broke, and suspecting that there may be some dust in the cable end, I took it upon myself the suck the dust free.
Next time loopy, UNPLUG IT FROM THE MAINS!!!
On the bright side, I’ve spent most of the evening, chuckling to myself, at my stupidity. Who know’s, maybe E.C.T would work on me. 😉

If at first, you don’t succeed, try try again!!
I’ve mentioned in previous posts, that I’ve taken a shine to building stuff. My first attempt at a dog house was not toooooo bad, but I had roof pitch problems and gappy joints.
I took it apart, and made little mans mud kitchen.
My 2nd attempt however, well now, it would seem I have a head for this. This ones not complete yet, but it’s sturdy, safe, and dare I say it; “sellable”
Some corner trim, finish off the cladding, add the plywood roof and felt and boom!
Not too shabby!

I’m building again. I’d been looking at mud kitchens for little man before.
Today, I’ve gone ahead and built one.. It’s not quite finished, but he seems to like it.
Now loopy, focus on your actual job for a few days. No more excuses!!

I need a hobby. Pretty much every mental health professional has asked me; “what do you enjoy doing?” I pause, searching my brain for an answer, and then I blurt out; ‘”cycling”
It’s not a lie, I do enjoy cycling, but it sometimes gets aggressive, compulsive and a little destructive really, as it occasionally morphs into an essential fat burning mission. If you’ve been following I’ve now completed 140km of my 580km cycle challenge..
Cycling is good, but often, even whilst riding, my mind wanders to darker places. I’m not good a focusing on the here and now. Focusing on my surroundings, or I guess just being mindful. So…………
I need a hobby. One that requires concentration on the task at hand. I’m a Tom boy, and always have been. Growing up, myself and my cousin had toolkits, hammers and saw’s and we would venture off to build dens, cut big branches and occasionally slice our fingers!! We were about 6 or 7 at the time…
Something I’ve wanted for a while now, is a decent outdoor playhouse for little man. I reckon I can build it. Whooaaaa Loopy, baby steps!!!
We’ve amassed tools over the years and as my father is a carpenter by trade, I’ve made sure to buy ‘proper tools’
I took a delivery of timber today, and I’ve gathered up some bits and bobs. I’m going to start with a dog kennel
Wish me luck………

Ps the ruler is actually pretty cool. If you’re into crafts and cutting stuff with Stanley knives, this has a finger guard to stop you accidentally chopping your fingers off!!!Got it off amazon; “safety cutting ruler” 😉
