It's really frustrating when you can't read. I haven't been able to do it properly for ages, but lately I've been able to skim-read fiction which has been great after so long. I hope it gets better soon.

Glad you're warm & feeling less angry. I'm hoping work will be fine and no one noticed anything amiss
Nice to hear from you!

I'm so glad to hear this Sometimes!
According to an IQ test I did a year and a half ago (when I wasn't actually too bad depression/voices/brain-wise), I lost 11 points since I started Uni, which I've put down to illness (I actually think it gets much, much lower when I'm really bad). Personally I don't think the meds made much difference to me as, even now while basically off all meds, my brain still feels slow, but I try to hold on to hope that, one day when things get better, my brain will return to normal. Anyway glad to hear such great news!
I've had a busy day! The sun was shining and my sister was out for most of the day, so it's been a pretty good day!
Spent the day out with my parents; walked the dogs, had a cuppa, looked round some shops, that kind of thing. Then I came home and prepared the elephants for youth club next week - I cut them out of plastic milk bottles so the kids can cover them in tissue paper -
How to make milk bottle elephants | Baby Genie
I made one as an example a few days ago, though I also cut the lid bit off unlike the linked example, and covered the whole thing in light blue tissue paper. Then I waited for it to dry and today I've been drawing an Indian-inspired design on it using ideas from googled henna tattoo designs. It's not finished yet, but I think it looks pretty cool. Am going to keep it on my shelf
Then the bottom part of the milk bottles will be used to make baskets for Mother's Day (in the UK it's at the end of March) using a hole punch and some string which the kids can then decorate. I'm going to make some cupcakes for the kids to decorate too and then they can put them in their baskets to take home to Mum. Google has such great craft ideas!
