Waiting.... waiting....

So I skipped my Fiddler on the Roof movement audition on Sunday and now I am wondering if that was such a good idea! But it clashed with church and that has to remain a top priority for me, because I get so much feeding and support out of that.. which is important to my wellbeing.... But I got to church at 2pm (the same time as the Fiddler audition) only to find that we started at 1pm that week with a picnic in the park... so in the end I could have gone for the first hour to church and then shown up to auditions..... Oh well! I still haven't heard re casting, but then again, I can't remember if call backs were supposed to be Monday just gone, or this Monday coming....rehearsals start on this Thursday coming... I think that the call backs are this Monday. Not sure! Oh well, I will know when I know!

I got into Tabor Bible College this week too. I found out that I have been accepted into the Bachelor of Ministry. I am currently enrolled to do distance education through Adelaide because Miranda isn't running the courses I need to to first, this semester. But once I get the core stuff done, if I am enjoying it, that is, I will look at doing what I can through Miranda. I am not actually doing it to qualify with a BMin... I had to enroll at Bachelor level so that I could get FEE HELP. I initially want to do a couple of courses offered through the BMin, to help me deepen and mature in my faith and my walk with Jesus. If I enjoy it, and God keeps opening the doors, I may well end up with a BMin... but that's not my initial focus....

Dad unearthed his notes from Tabor Adelaide this week for Creative Living which I am doing this semester, so I might actually get started on that this coming week rather than waiting (more waiting ;)) until the 27th July...

Have heard from the kids this week and don't really have much to report from them... other than the "Hi mum! Bye mum!" routine. But the girls are DEFINITELY counting down to the trip down here! They are really looking forward to it!

In other news, I spoke with my psychiatrist last week and he said that I was on the more extreme edge of Bipolar Disorder which seems to be progressing into Schizoaffective Disorder which, if it continues to deteriorate, can end up in schizophrenia.... Very interesting.

And after research tonight, I have discovered that the "positive" symptoms of schizophrenia (hallucinations/delusions, disorganised thinking etc) are caused at least in part, they think, by the production of too much dopamine. And guess what mimics dopamine? Caffeine!

So sadly, I have to say goodbye to an old friend and switch to decaf... My only vice... gone...

Ask me next week how it feels to be "viceless" ;)

Love you all
