Liver and Cherry - Page 30

I got a card from her last week, I should have posted earlier. I'm Sorry.

Clodfobble · 05-09-2016, 10:50 PM

Yes, since there was no return address I suppose the proper thing to do is acknowledge it here for her to read when she comes back. I, too, received a lovely card full of lots of detail. Anyone else impressed by her handwriting? I couldn't make that happen even if I spent hours on it like it was an art project.

I've kept Cherry up to date by means of text message and occasional phone calls so she does know who has received her cards.

Subsequently she managed to make a brief visit to the Cellar to read your posts so she's not entirely out of the loop.

If anyone has a message for Cherry, I'll pleased to relay it to her.

Tell her we miss her.

And to kick ass and take names.

Hello.
Brief update, some of which is to address questions Bruce asked in his letter to me.

The course involves "lessons" which fill up a timetable five days a week. These include things like Music Therapy, Anger Management, Dealing with Anxiety, Relaxation, Future Planning, Relapse Prevention etc. Homework is set, which reflects the session - so in Postive Communication it might be writing real-life examples of when you have used passive or aggressive responses and how to reframe them to make them Assertive.

Chores are from 09.00-09.30 every day and are set weekly. We work in pairs.
Everyone takes turns in Kitchen Duty in the evenings/ at weekends. Weekends are most onerous as you actually cook (although even that's not really from scratch) as well as preparing a cold meal for the evening. If you get a Saturday it means no access to places like the Post Office, banks, some shops. Given we are occupied from 09.00-17.00 Monday-Friday this can be frustrating when paying bills in cash/ getting a haircut/ going to the market etc.

All in all it's a great place. Can't say the same about the residents. But I like the staff and believe I have their respect.

Not in the kitchen today as you can tell (it's about 11.30GMT Saturday) - am in Otley library instead.
Just manhandled one of my duvets to the launderette for a service wash and am taking some bedclothes back to the Unit for washing. I start weekend Home Leave at eight weeks (a fortnight from now) so the flat has to be ready for me to sleep in.

Thanks for the kind words. I used some of the compliments I received here in the last Personal Boost homework. I won't be getting any compliments from this shower.
(actually, I'm being mean because of something that happened last night; some of them are tolerable)

Expect to see a little more of me over the next month.
Then I'll be back telling you all my tales and hopefully reporting about my wildly successful time as a volunteer.

Miss you all lots & spots.

Homework, chores, structure, sounds... Normal. Normal's good. Looking forward to hearing about your experience.

lumberjim · 05-14-2016, 12:47 PM

Sounds like a great program to me. I hope you get the max benefit from this experience. We love you, Cherry. And I believe in you!
