It is going to be a busy time…
The next two weeks.
___________________________
GA and I took the cats to the vet to have immunisations (geez, I hope they don’t get autism from it 
) and I also got two new tyres fitted on the car.
GA and I started a TAFE (Tertiary And Further Education) course last week. It is a horticulture course called the Peel Harvest Project (Peel is the name of our region/area). It is two days per week with one day of a subject called Wider Opportunities for Work, where we learn about things that will help us in the workplace: communication, basic maths, science and English, computer skills, that sort of thing. The second day is purely horticulture: how to operate horticultural machinery, how to use tools and the differences, plant species, etc. We have planned a vegetable garden and are going to prepare the area next week. There are about 12 people in our class.
I had wanted to do the medical course. But the need for something to do was pretty strong and this course was offered by GA’s job agency coordinator. So I took it. I have applied for a job with Bunnings’ garden centre in the past, three times. But they have a history of not employing people with disabilities even if they don’t say so directly. That is something that has annoyed me so maybe with a certificate 1 in horticulture, they will see me differently. I don’t know.
It is Mother’s Day this Sunday. I have bought Mum a present already, so I feel relieved that I have got that covered. We are going for a barbecue at a winery about half an hour’s drive from where we live (called Peel Estate Winery). I hope it doesn’t rain!
Tomorrow I am going to the movies to see Iron Man and I have no idea what it is about. I am going with GA and a friend from our Asocial Group. We have been meaning to get the group started up again but with everyone working all kind of different days and living in lots of different areas, it is hard to work out a proper area and times for meetings.
TAFE is on Wednesdays and Thursdays. On Wednesday night I will be taking my mum and my stepdad (Peter) to the airport because they are going to Queensland to see Peter’s aunty who has become ill and moved into a nursing home. They are going for a week and I have said I will look after their house and pets while they are away. And on Thursday straight after TAFE I have an appointment with my psychologist.
It is going to be a busy week. I can’t say no to any of it. I will do my best and recover later. That is the way of things, as a Jem’Hadar would say.
