[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 144002, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Our autumn is developing fast. We had some short but heavy scuds of rain today, it's time to put on a few more layers of clothing and keep warm. difficult child 3 worked today but I had to keep his nose to the grindstone. He has a lot to do over the next few days and sometimes it's exhausting to have to really watch him closely. I much prefer the days when he's working well and can be left on his own. girlfriend dropped in tonight unexpectedly; difficult child 1 had invited her to dinner then forgot to tell me! It's a good thing I had enough food to feed an army! easy child 2/difficult child 2 had an unexpected class tonight (discussing prac placement) and BF2 is at his regular Monday night fantasy game. I won't be able to properly settle until they're home and in bed, so I hope they get home soon. Interesting program on TV tonight, one of Australia's most skilled interviewers, Andrew Denton, on his TV program "Enough Rope", was talking to people about what it's like to have a serious mental illness. The beginning showed him (and others at a conference) being given MP3 players and having to listen to recordings of people talking, simulating "voices", and while listening to these they then had to experience what an assessment process plus counselling session was like. Very confronting. The point was made strongly that a lot of the way people behave is, in fact, very normal - for what they're experiencing. Here's a link to the episode.
